water, its not just for fishes anymore.

turns out we need it too. and it turns out that there are vast quantities of fresh water in and surrounding the state of michigan. it is in fact two rather large peninsulas. but you knew that. i hope.

what you may not know is that there is a compact that would create a sort of 'great lakes board of dont fuck with our water' that is intended to bind the 8 states and 2 canadian provinces together to monitor and protect the regions vast and valuable water supplies.

you also may not know that michigan is a state lagging behind in signing on to that compact. which is rather ridiculous considering its place, surrounded by water and at the epicenter of this whole thing.

anyway, a bill is now in both state houses that needs to be passed. the bills differ little and the need to be passed and reconciled in committee. lets get with the program. so call, email, telegram whatever your state rep and senator and tell them to get this done. they havent done much to move the state forward, at least they can come together on an issue that all should agree on and in all reality should have been passed long ago.

find your rep.
find your senator.

the freep agrees.
