Texas Drifter: No Water; No Vote; No Gov. Perry

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Only those too blanked up to know they are blanked up like most voters keep repeating same stupid mistakes.

Reader can consider following writing exercise: NO WATER NO VOTE…

There are only two people on planet earth responsible for the current South Texas water crisis: Governor Perry and … If a thief breaks into your home; who does you hold responsible, the thief or the security guard that did not do their job?

The South Texas water issue is simple: Mexico steals water, Mexico refuses to return stolen water, and Texas Governor Perry takes half hearted measures to protect American citizens from Mexican economic terrorism.

Economic terrorism which could cost the Rio Grande Valley economy more than: two billion dollars and thirty thousand jobs. Not to mention, destroying the Valley’s agriculture industry, and eventually costing tens of thousands of more South Texas residents their homes when school, city, and county property taxes double or triple.

Citizens of South Texas should be inflamed that Mexican economic, political, and social interests seem to be more important to both Texas and American politicians than the financial well being and civil rights of South Texas farmers, ranchers, their employees, and all the businesses they support.

South Texas’ current artificial water crisis involves more than Mexico simply returning stolen water. Other issues are compensation by Mexico for actual damages currently estimated to be one billion dollars, and yet to be determined punitive damages,

Not including actual damages and punitive damages in resolving Republican tolerated water crisis in South Texas, equates to crime without punishment for economic terrorism.

Studies report that Mexico is the eleventh wealthiest nation in the world; while “average Mexican citizens” rank between one hundred-forty and one hundred-fifty in per capita income.

People of South Texas seeking actual and punitive monetary damages against Mexico by resorting to any of the following would be seeking just compensation from one of the world’s richest nations, not some of the world’s poorest citizens:

1. The First Amendments guarantees citizens the right to petition the government for grievances. File a class action civil suit against Obama's State Department for 1) criminal negligence for falling to stop Mexico from engaging and continuing to engage in economic terrorism and 2) Not forcing Mexico to return water stolen from the United States.

2. American courts have ruled that private American citizens have a right to sue foreign governments for damages resulting from acts of terrorism.

3) Petition the U.S. Senate and Congress to pass legislation that prohibits the importation from Mexico all products directly or indirectly grown, raised, produced, or manufactured from illegal gains (water stolen by Mexico).

Eighty to ninety percent of those affected by Perry’s “America Last” water policy are American Hispanics. Only time will tell if South Texas American Hispanics will send Governor Perry the message that it takes more than speaking in condescending child like remedial Spanish to get their votes.

The time has arrived for all Americans to start warning federal and state Republican candidates that it will take action not promises to get their votes. So get on your phones; get on the Internet; tell everyone you know to spread the word: NO WATER NO VOTE; NO WATER NO VOTE; NO WATER NO VOTE.

Reader’s assignment, preceding only slightly edited excerpts of writing exercise, first published in South Texas’ paid full page advertisement about eleven years ago; seem to be relevant in contemporary times. Some things never change like Governor Perry allowing Mexico to steal water from South Texas agriculture interests back during drought in 2002 and now again in another drought during 2013.

Once again Governor Perry is making overtures for votes to get re-elected Governor, as well as possibly seek next Presidential nomination. Perhaps decade old slogan: No water; No vote; No Governor Perry is still good idea? TRUE or FALSE
