"What Can I Do to Restore the California Delta?" - September 14, 12:30-2:30, Stockton, CA.

Restore the Delta will feature an event, "What Can I Do To Restore The Delta?," featuring Congressman George Miller, Senator Mike Machado, Bill Jennings of the CSPA and Delta farmer Alex Hildebrand on September 14, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Alder Market and Bistro, 151 W Alder, Stockton, CA. The broad-based organization will award the four with its first annual award, "The Delta Advocate Award," for their work on behalf of the Delta either through legislative and policy efforts or through advocacy efforts. The awards occur at a time when Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Senator Diane Feinstein are campaigning for an environmentally destructive and costly water bond that would further exacerbate the collapse of Central Valley salmon, delta smelt, longfin smelt, threadfin shad and striped bass populations.
