Large corporations and private billionaires have begun to lay claim to our nations fresh water supply. Corporations such as Nestle have been removing water from Lake Michigan and the surrounding great lakes at an alarming rate. Nestle has been bottling our water to sell back to us and to countries like China. This has caused great distress to the surrounding wildlife and waterways.
As if this was not bad enough private billionaires such as T. Boons Pickens, who made his money in oil and the Bush Family have been buying vast quantities of land over the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the worlds greatest aquifers. With the intent to sell our nations water back to us in the very near future, when we run out of other fresh water supplies due to pollution and consumption. For more information please read:

We the undersigned express great concern for our nations fresh water supply as it is the most important substance required for life.
We would like to see the removal and selling of our water stopped and the laws for individual ownership of such great water sources such as the
Ogallala Aquifer to be more defined , regulated and limited.
We as a people cannot afford to loose our greatest resource,
water. Please stop corporations such as Nestle and people such as T. Boons Pickins from stealing water from the people of this nation.
Thank you for your time as I know how valuable it is,
