GOVERNMENT-IMPOSED DUSTBOWL TO CONTINUE IN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY

Washington DC - The Nunes amendment defeated in the Rules Committee last night would have banned federal funds from being used to implement biological decisions that have resulted in a man-made drought in California.  The unprecedented vote to block the amendment came despite the fact that the Nunes amendment was in compliance with House Rules and within the confines of historic precedent.

 

“The hypocrisy of this situation is that the Democratic majority champions the working family but backs the radical environmentalists instead. For the San Joaquin Valley, the majority in this House has chosen fish over working families,” said Nunes.

 

“What we are witnessing, is the greatest elected assembly in the history of the world starving its own citizens of water, acting like a despot, who tortures the innocent just to stay in power. And make no mistake, raw power is what we are witnessing.  Power that injures and wounds, exercised at highest levels of government, straight from the Obama White House and the Democratic leadership in the Congress. They will say and do anything to keep hold of the reins of power. And their victims are my constituents, the people of the San Joaquin Valley, who have done nothing to deserve such cruelty at the hands of the government,” said Nunes.
