The Great Lakes St. Lawrence
River Basin Water Resources Compact
SYNOPSIS
Great Lakes Water Resources Compact
It's about UN Agenda 21 styled attempt to take
complete control of the Great Lakes including
Lake Erie, and take all other private water
rights away from everyone in Ohio, and seven
other states. Ohio's back is up against the
wall on this now. As of March 22, Michigan is
the only state that has not passed any
legislation on the Great Lakes St. Lawrence
River Basin Water Resources Compact in either
legislative chamber. In Wisconsin, Ohio and
Pennsylvania legislation has passed in only
one legislative chamber but has not become
law. The other four states involved in which
the compact has been signed into law are
New York, Minnesota, Indiana and Illinois.
We don't need the Compact as we already have
a Federal law protecting diversion of
Lake Erie water that was passed in 1986 and
renewed in 2007.
It is called the 'Water Resource Development Act'.
Rep. Mathew Dolan sponsors this new bill to
'protect' our already protected water.
It will do just the opposite! The wording in it
will place all water of the 'Basin' under
state control (public/state trust).
Understand, that the 'Basin' is not the edge of
Lake Erie but extends deep inland. This means
your private wells, ponds and streams will be
put in a 'public/state trust' controlled by the
state. Your GOD given right to water will be
converted to a privilege under state control,
thru the 'public/state trust'. This 'privilege'
can be revoked at anytime by the state and there
is no law to protect you from that if your water
is in a 'public/state trust'. This is what
Rep. Mathew Dolan wants.
Who among you trusts the government that much?!
It is also VERY interesting that the first official
action that incoming New York governor David
Patterson took (even before being officially
sworn into office) was to sign the Great Lakes
Compact.





















THIS IS THE PERTINENT INFORMATION ON THE COMPACT...
There are eight states involved in this compact.
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. ALL concerned people in ALL of these states should join the new MeetUp group to have access to a wealth of information on this unconstitutional legislation that has already been adopted by four of the eight states. Those four can work on a repeal.

Please join Meetup below - here is a message re this:
To all,
This is urgent!
Senator Grendell called me today (Mon., April 28, 2008) saying that Senate President Bill Harris's office has been flooded with calls and e-mails, from environmental wackos (my terminology), trying to put pressure on him concerning the Great Lakes Water Compact. Sounds to me like they have organized an e-mail campaign. He said it is imperative, and is counting on our group to counter this flood by e-mailing and calling Senator Harris's office letting him know how much we appreciate and support his stand, against overwhelming odds, to protect our private water rights and that he is not alone.

Email: SD19@mailr.sen.state.oh.us
Senator Grendell expressed how impressed he is at seeing the great results of our efforts by how many people are aproaching him about our upcoming public forums and letters (of ours) they read in the papers. He thinks we are doing a great job.
Go get em!
There are politicians in Ohio
fighting it, I think Bill Harris may be one of them, I am not positive though. Our meetup group here is trying to not let this happen. Apparently their reasoning behind this UN control is because bottlers on the lake are pumping millions of gallons of water out for their products, I don't buy that excuse though, First they start off owning all the money and oil, now they are hitting our precious resources. You can't go against someone who owns all the water, right? Screw the UN. Keep up the great work howard722.
Yes, there are a few
Yes, there are a few fighting this.
Pretty much what is about for Ohio and the rest of the great lakes is this map area:

I am not exactly sure about the other Great Lakes States, but in Ohio, it's all water above and below ground in Ohio in that map area.
NEW Meetup group to support this effort
in Ohio and PA to defeat this Great Lakes Water Compact.
