Criminalizing rainwater collection by Oregon ------ Amazing!

Dear NaturalNews readers,

The State of Oregon has declared war on sustainable living and self-reliance by criminalizing rainwater collection.

A man who owns 170 acres of land is now being sent to jail and fined over $1500 for the "crime" of "stealing water from the state" by collecting rainwater on his own land!
This is not a joke. It's yet another example of runaway collectivism that is fast spreading across America.
Importantly, if Oregon can claim ownership of the rainwater that falls on your land, the state could also outlaw solar panels by claiming "sunlight photons" are the property of the state, too!

SO IS IT A FELONY FOR YOU TO BE IN A RAINSTORM AND YOUR JACKET COLLECTED WATER IN WHICH YOU DRAINED AT HOME TO CONSERVE FOR YOUR PLANTS?

Maybe we should place ALL Government officials on WARNING that THEY ARE FELONS every time they walk in the rain, or are they EXEMPT as usual!

The MANDATE is to have the SHERIFF ARREST EVERY SINGLE HOMEOWNER after a rainstorm for collecting rain water!

GET THAT CAMPAIGN GOING and you will have a problem like the Gun Control Laws!

The same law is in Colorado!

3,871,859 people in Oregon and EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE FELONS IF THEY OWN PROPERTY.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! If God wants to rain on your property and no one elses, then the blessing is yours, and you own all the way up to eternity where ever your property lines are. We absolutely cannot let these insipid people get away with this!

Twilight Zone on Steroids The entire state of Oregon is as corrupt as it gets. This is absolute madness out of control. These criminal bastards will stop at nothing to generate revenue. I look forward to the day these demented sickos in black robes are held accountable and it's comin.

From the UN, water is no longer a human right.
Our own government controls ALL water, hence this legal action.
Do you think it might be time to replace our government yet?
