fyi

I am circulating this beyond our immediate area, because I think it is 
extremely important that we spread the word about how our local and national 
water resources are insidiously being diminished.   Corporate pockets are 
being lined by a convoy that is pipe-lining our water across the border.  As 
water becomes a more limited commodity, the consumption cost to the average 
consumer will escalate, yet business is being allowed to fill their covers 
at our financial and environmental expense.

I apologize for the bulk email, but we need thousands of people to write 
BEFORE NOV. 9/07 to stop the profiteering of our drinking water. The details
are below and you can access the comment form at the link below.
