                                  Ideas for the Body of a Letter
     Opposing the Great Lakes Water Compact in All Forms     

    • We do NOT want any version of the Great Lakes Water Compact.  It is unnecessary. 

    • I strongly urge you to vote NO on both versions of the Great Lakes Water Compact.  Please stop this legislation.

    • The Great Lakes Water Compact in every form is un-American.  It must be stopped.  Please vote NO.

    • The water under my private property should not be put into a “public/ state trust.”  Oppose H.B. 416, as well as any other form of the Water Compact proposed.

    • I am a farmer who uses water for irrigation.  This is the sustenance of my livelihood.  My water should not be regulated by a Great Lakes Council.  Please stop the Great Lakes Water Compact in any form.

    • H.B. 416 does not protect private property rights.  It is unconstitutional.  Please vote against the Great Lakes Water Compact in any form.

    • The waters of the Great Lakes are already protected by the Water Resources Development Act.  We don’t need the Great Lakes Water Compact in any form.  Vote against it.

    • I do not need any more governmental regulation or control of my water, especially from a Great Lakes Water Council.  Please oppose the Great Lakes Water Compact in every form.

    • H.B. 416 is a threat to my private water rights.  The Great Lakes Water Compact in any form deserves a timely death.  Please help it die by voting NO.
