SRP set to draw first blood

SRP set to draw “first blood” as Arizona’s water wars begin . . . !

Local newspaper headline … SRP BLOCKING PLANS TO SAP VERDE WATER …

And you though it couldn’t happen here…? This is but the first volley in a war which those in the hinder lands of Arizona can not hope to win. The population, power, and money reside in “metro” Phoenix and Tucson and “we” will not be denied.

Should you even dare to tap what is rightfully ours, we’ll crush you in any manner necessary, including force if necessary, just try us.

Thinking this is but an aberration and it won’t happen in your town is precisely what “they” are counting on.
Play ostrich and stick your head in the sand and when you pull your head out – surprise – surprise.
ARIZONA REPUBLIC - 1-22-08
You’re AWARE now it’s solely up to you to take whatever collective action you feel is appropriate respecting allocating water on an equitable basis. If you wait for “government” to do it for you, you won’t have any water to allocate.

Your water’s future is solely within your care, custody and control. Exercise that accountability and responsibility or lose it forever.

The ball’s in your court.
