America’s Commitment to Clean Water Act, otherwise known as ACCWA, is Congressman James Oberstar’s latest attempt to wrest away Minnesota’s control of its waters and hand it over to the federal government, thumbing his nose at members of his own party and the Minnesota Constitution to do so. Currently, the federal government has jurisdiction over “navigable” waterways that go between states, but not water that stays within the state. Mississippi River, federal – Chester Creek, state.
Why does Mr. Oberstar want to usurp state control in favor of the federal government? This would be all waters, potentially even the rain that runs off your property. Could it have something to do with the massive debt Obama, Oberstar, Pelosi & Reid (and Bush) have amassed over the last two years? Could it be the massive accumulation of power this administration and its congressional cohorts, like Oberstar, are smothering “we the people” with? Could it be both? Follow the money, and the motivation, and it leads to one destination— the end of freedom as we have come to know it, and Mr. Oberstar is a leader in this war on our liberty.
Let’s begin the discussion of this crushing of liberty at the hands of a man who has spent his entire life in government. Let’s take a good look at ACCWA and let’s vote for real “change” in November!
