Increased unemployment will cause wages to drop and all of us will soon suffer from poverty.

my husband and i drove through the central valley this last august. it was disgusting. it's a joke to save a fish at the expense of thousands of farmers and, their families. why cant we farm these fish. it is like feinstien, boxer and pelosi cut off farmers water with no solution. i bet pelosi and her husband are getting plenty of water for their grapes at their winery. the same winery that recently hosted a big democratic fund raising dinner. how could they stomach sipping fine wine and organic vegetables watered and grown just a few miles away from where they have taken away the central valleys farmers right to make a living.

I never thought in my lifetime that I would actually have to explain to my children and my 5 year old grandaughter that our government has made the life of a 2 inch fish more important than the life of a human being. This is a travesty and is nothing short of violation of human rights imposed on thousands of people by our government. FOR GOODNESS SAKE, TURN THE WATER ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is part of nature for things to become extinct. It is time for the minnow (smelt) to go in favor of letting people live. Please turn on the water.

My immediate question is President Obama why don't you turn the water pumps back on. We want to take care of endangered species, but "people" are more important.....Or don't you get that simple comcept?

The Endangered Species Act was not intended to be used against our citizens in this way! The government needs to use common sense and ingenuity to meet the needs of the citizens and the fish. The fish are not the only ones who need the water.

Take responsable action and have this carried out. You should know the situation is causing an economic impact on the region and affecting the United States as a whole. This has gone on long enough to have things worked out locally. But it is now time for you Mr President, to step in and do the right thing. Please have the problems resolved and turn on the water.

If we have no water, we have no food. If we have no food, we have no income. If we have no income, we have no jobs. If we have no jobs, crime rises. Money for water or money for police???

People come before animals. Jobs keep people independent, self reliant and that is the American way.

May God help you if you do not release this water. Do you really ever think of your actions and to why we are in this mess to begin with. You legislators,congressmen,governors,Senate, have lost your way because you have lost the center focus of Jesus Christ and God. Remeber IN GOD WE TRUST. You are trying to fix the problem yourself why at the same time taking God out of everything and you will all suffer the consequences of your actions very soon if you have not realized them already just looking around.

I am angry that little minnows or mice have priority over humans. Our government is way out of control and are not in touch with the people especially those who are trying their best to earn a living.

Please turn on the water for the farms. We need the jobs and the food from that area. We do not need another government takeover of our food industry also. Do not force these farmers off their land.

There must be immediate accountability and the Federal government must return the rights to the Citizens of the State of California and turn on the water.
