A grassroots organization of Skagit citizens, farmers and landowners working for cooperative, sustainable water resource policy in the Skagit River watershed is trying to educate folks about what’s happening in their county . Twenty years of back-room agreements intentionally excluding farmers and rural landowners have left their community without a long-range water resource plan. The Skagit watershed is a precious public trust that a select few are trying to control, according to the organization.
“Wedemand representation for rural landowners and farmers on the Skagit River Flow Management Committee (SRFMC), the self-appointed body that controls water resource policy in the Skagit River watershed without public input or scrutiny,” they say.

Romney issued his statement today, an open mic captured the press coordinating questions to ask Romney, with one saying “no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question”. Audio > Here
On the day after the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi, Romney holds a news conference and take questions.. and our current President is going to Las Vegas!
“It is a terrible course for America to apologize for values” ~ Romney
“Its never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on the Americans and to defend our values. The White House distanced itself last night from the statement saying it wasn’t cleared by Washington. That reflects the mixed signals they are sending to the world. The attacks in Libya and Egypt underscore that the world remains a dangerous place and that American leadership is still sorely needed.” ~ Mitt Romney
Every question but one at this morning’s presser, was based on the premise that Romney’s statement last night was a mistake.. I am here to say that the American people rallied heavily around the strength of Romney’s statement last night > Here
Our prayers are with the families.

I noted that “Every question but one at this morning’s presser, was based on the premise that Romney’s statement last night was a mistake.”
Here is what he said:
“I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi.
It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.” ~ Mitt Romney 9/11, 2012
