Dedicated To The Calamity That Is California And It’s Politics

We find ourselves in a POLITICAL CALAMITY not just in our Nation's capital but here in California as well. Everyday we watch our Country slip farther and farther away from the original vision of our Founding Fathers. We watch as California crumbles underneath the weight of a crushing deficit without the needed leadership to put our state back on track. "We The People" can no longer sit idly by and wait. Take the first step. It is your responsibility to arm yourself with information. You must seek out facts and make up your own mind. No one can tell you how to think, YOU MUST THINK FOR YOURSELF! Part of the reason we are so deeply entrenched in mediocrity is we’ve been all too willing to accept people and their word at face value. We are far too trusting of our Teachers, Main Stream Media and our Politicians. We send our kids to school and expect they will be taught an accurate depiction of History, when in fact History is often rewritten to reflect the views of the “politically correct”. We read newspapers and watch the nightly news and expect we will be told the truth, but instead we’re given agenda based reporting. We elect politicians and trust they will stand by their word and make decisions based on our best interest, only to find we’ve been sold out to special interests. Look around: The herd mentality hasn’t worked out so well, especially here in California. YOU MUST GET INFORMED, BE INFORMED AND STAY INFORMED!

MAY 7, 2009: Santa Clarita Citizens Face 300% Fee Increase By Sanitation Districts

By CalamityDevon

Citizens of Santa Clarita are fighting a proposed 300% “fee” increase over 6 years to their monthly sewer bills. Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts have to pay for water treatment plants in SCV to reduce elevated levels of salt in waste water before it’s release into the Santa Clara river, which is mandated by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. The cost of the new water treatment plants will be passed directly on to the the citizens of Santa Clarita in their monthly sewer bills.

Residents were led to believe, passing a measure on the November 2008 ballot that would ban all salt based water softeners in Santa Clarita, would correct the problem and the need for costly water treatment plants. Unfortunatly, residents of Santa Clarita have given up their right to have water softeners in their homes. Now they will have to foot the bill for the treatment plants unless over 50% of homeowners petition City Hall before the public hearing scheduled for May 26th.

This is a perfect example of why giving up a little Liberty in hope of saving a little money will never save you a dime.

In November 2008, they didn’t want you to have your water softeners, what’s next?How about no more Cascade for your dishwashers? Think it couldn’t happen? Tell that to residents is Spokane, Washington, where as of July 2008, it is prohibited to purchase dish soap containing phosphates.

If you live in Santa Clarita, isn’t enough, ENOUGH?

The Sanitation Districts will hold public information meetings on May 11th and 14th at the Santa Clarita City Hall before the public hearing on May 26th. If you plan on going, let us know! Don’t forget to write to the City of Santa Clarita and tell them you don’t want the new “fee” increases.
