The real "Delta Doozy" is how "public" agencies and their political allies have allowed corporations to socialize profits and privatize profits in the export of massive amounts of water to agribusiness and southern California water interests.

ForgeryGate Larry Klayman's Historic Letter to DNC Legal Counsel
http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com/forgerygate-larry-klaymans-historic-letter-to-dnc-legal-counsel/

The thrust of Larry Klayman’s letter to Attorney Bauer and the DNC is that as chief legal counsel, he cannot recommend that they place candidate Obama’s name on the Official Certificates of Nomination, or OCON’s, which they are required to submit to election officials in all fifty states. The bottom line, according to Attorney Klayman, is that given the refusal of Hawaii Registrar for Vital Statistics, Alvin Onaka, to verify the key facts of Obama’s birth as well as the validity of the birth certificate itself (posted at whitehouse.gov), when requested to do so by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, back on March 30^th, there is no legally-allowable basis for any official to accept the document as proof of identity. It simply can’t be done legally!

Tensions Run High as Venue Downsize, Security Upgrade Cause Convention Chaos

(If you liked the past four years of Obama politics, this is just a little bit of what you can expect if reelection is successful:

Those with bowl seating who were not delegates were told to find seats on the second-floor level -- though the second-floor level had 100 seats behind the stage with no view of speakers or the giant TV screen inside the stadium.

"There are 100 seats left -- that's it -- with obstructed view," a Time Warner arena worker told those trying to enter. Even then, only those with certain passes were allowed in. 

Adding insult to injury, those denied seats behind the stage later tried to use the ATM outside the nearby gate but found it out of order.

"Really? Really?” a man wearing a tall Obama hat said to no one in particular before running down the concourse. "No seat, no cash," he said.

I say,'yes, really...REALLY, with this administration, if you stand up for your rights, you lose your seat!  And, well get used to it, there is no money, no cash, nothing as long as the current course we are on continues unobstructed.  So how do you like it now Liberals?  Rank and file people are truly second-class citizens in the Democrats' eyes.  Shameful if they had any conscience.)

Judge Orders MWD to Begin Producing Documents in First Round of Discovery
http://www.sdcwa.org/judge-orders-mwd-begin-producing-documents-first-round-discovery-water-authority-rate-challenge

Today’s court hearing was a continuation of an August 3 hearing, in which Judge Kramer again rejected MWD’s arguments that the Water Authority was entitled to no discovery in the case. For the past eight months, MWD has vigorously tried to avoid any discovery in the case, filing numerous legal challenges to the court’s January 6, 2012 ruling that granted discovery, including a writ petition with California’s 1st Appellate District Court of Appeal. MWD’s writ was summarily denied by the Court of Appeal in April.
