In the fight for water conservation, Democrats are failing in Colorado. Instead of looking at the bigger picture, they’re focusing on the profit to be made by the sale of water. Personal storage of rain water is by far the most efficient, environmentally-friendly way to supply a household with it’s necessary resources.
This fight, however, is about the government gaining control over something that has been free to all American citizens since it’s founding.
By stripping away fundamental resources and transferring them to the government, the Democratic party intends to make a populace so reliant on big government, that citizens have no choice but to submit themselves to its demands.
While there is currently no law saying you cannot collect rainwater for personal use, the government is intending to make the citizens jump through hoops in order to do so, requiring paperwork and money for permits.

John Williams – you are absolutely right – I’ve researched and crossreferenced this TO THE BONE, reading information from credible sources and it is NOT a “lie,” as ostriches with their heads in the sand such as John Hoelck and other ignoramuses.
eny way to fill there pocket books
This ‘news’ has it backwards.
Original Denver Post Article: “Republicans want to make sure rain barrels don’t put a crack in state water law and ensure that those with the oldest and most expensive water rights get their fair share before those with no rights get a drop.”
Easy don’t vote democratic
Are you kidding? Coloradans voted democrat overall. They deserve what they get.
Coloradans voted in democrats. You get what you voted in.
Typical, something the creator gives us for free, they want to tax.
When was this written? I didn’t see a date. Colorado, this past year, passed a law allowing us to collect and store up to 100 gallons of rain water. Still a sham if you ask me. We should need permission to collect something they do not own, nor should we be limited to how much.
The law only protects the guilty.
We should be rewarded for conserving our resources! All this political control has got to stop. Common sense says if big business is destroying our natural resources then we got to do what we got to do to survive!
