2004 Presidential Election
Sunday's March for Women's Lives is the subject of this opinion piece from the Cortez Journal. From the editorial, "We hope the president was watching Sunday. He needs to understand that many of his constituents feel very strongly about the government's role in their reproductive decisions. He should remember that the Republican party traditionally has stood for limited interference in citizens' private lives, a stance now largely abandoned. If he cannot be convinced to consider whether further limiting reproductive choice is the right thing to do, he surely must consider whether he really can accomplish that in the face of so much ardent opposition from Americans who vote."
Update: Senator Kerry leads President Bush 46 to 44 in a recent CBS/New York Times national poll. Thanks to Taegan Goddard for the link.

Colorado Water
Here's an article about Colorado having to let more water go down the Colorado River to satisfy the legal claims of California, from the Cortez Journal. From the article, "The 1922 Colorado River Compact requires the upstream states - Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico - to provide 7.5 million acre-feet of Colorado River water each year to California, Arizona and Nevada. Most of the trans-mountain diversion projects that supply cities along Colorado's Front Range were developed after 1922, so they have a lower priority than the water promised to the lower-basin states. Some Colorado officials say the state is entitled to another 600,000 acre-feet from the Colorado River under the 1922 compact. But some hydrologists have questioned whether that water is really there."
