I’ll admit to having ever-increasing concerns about some of the decision calls lately in the United States – here’s yet another example. You can watch the video via the link below.

++ California couple faces fine for brown lawn after complying with water-saving rules

In brief:

Laura Whitney and her husband, Michael Korte, don’t know whether they’re being good citizens during a drought or scofflaws.

On the same day the state approved mandatory outdoor watering restrictions with the threat of $500 fines, the Southern California couple received a letter from their city threatening a $500 penalty for not watering their brown lawn.

It’s brown because of their conservation, which, besides a twice-a-week lawn watering regimen, includes shorter showers and larger loads of laundry.

They’re encouraged by the state’s new drought-busting, public service slogan: Brown is the new green.

The city of Glendora sees it differently.

“Despite the water conservation efforts, we wish to remind you that limited watering is still required to keep landscaping looking healthy and green,” says the letter, which gives Korte and Whitney 60 days to restore their lawn.

They’re among residents caught in the middle of conflicting government messages as the need for conservation clashes with the need to preserve attractive neighborhoods.

It amazes me that a government that is breaking so many of its own laws, and these little fiefdoms at the local level, are so empowered to tell the rest of us what we can and can’t do.

Here’s another example of local government – corrupt, and bullying a local citizen:

On that note, if you are also appalled at the seemingly government-backed invasion of illegal aliens flooding our country, there is something you can do – today. At over 300 locations throughout the US there will be protests: “National Day of Protesting Amnesty and Border Surge.”

++ Locations and Times

If you pay US taxes you’ll want to go. If your kids attend US schools, you’ll want to go. If you are a US property owner, you’ll want to go. If you’ve paid into social security and ever want to see any of it returned to you when YOU need it, you’ll want to go. If you are a law-abiding US citizen, you’ll want to go.

And if you have not yet had the US Federal Government secretly bus in a couple hundred illegal aliens of unknown background and affiliation – some possibly carrying diseases – into your town, you’ll want to go. Because next week, it could happen right around the corner from you – without your knowledge and without your consent. In fact, based on the last couple of weeks’ “Homeland Security” activity, your own state GOVERNOR may not know what’s being done.

This is not the right way to treat US citizens and is adding another HUGE drain on US taxpayers – and it must stop. Do your best to get to a protest near you today – even if you just go to find out what’s really going on…
