Would be kinda nice if the farmers in the Delta were accorded the same voice and importance to the loss of their Prime agriculture lands. 80% of California's Prime-rated soil resides within the Primary Zone of the Legal Delta and we can't even get a whimper let alone a roar heard.
Both the Peripheral Boondoggle and HSR are nothing more than shams lining pockets from Feinstein/Blum to certain Investment Corporations down to several state politicians. That's what this is all about. We must continue to raise awareness, to bring proper irrefutable evidence into the public/civil arena, continuing to beat the drum until there is no option but to face reality. Bring justice, Rule of Law and representative government back into our public arenas.)

"During a recent speech, Vice President Joe Biden said 'I believe this election will come down to character, conviction and vision.' I agree. Biden is a 'character,' Holder just got 'convicted' by the House, and none of them have the 'vision' to see what's about to happen to them in November." --Fred Thompson
