He just saved the American taxpayers millions of dollars with this action. The only reason that the other countries are upset is that now they have to pay their own way to protect their environment instead of depending on the American taxpayer. At least, Bush is putting the concerns of the American people first and not writing more blank checks to the rest of the world like the Clinton administration so arbitrarily did. Bush already has stopped using taxpayers' money in funding world-wide abortions. He has cut down on most of the peacekeeping expenses because this country cannot afford to police the entire world and settle other countries' domestic problems.

In order to preserve water for our children and grandchildren, we must change the present method of allocating water. This allows a well owner to only pump as much water from the aquifer as would be recharged from his property. It is obvious that if we allow more water to be withdrawn from the aquifer than is restored by rainfall, we will someday run out of water. In many areas of our state, this is happening now. Sinkholes are opening, lakes are drying up, domestic wells are going dry and wetlands are disappearing.
