In times of hardship, in times of crises, societies throughout history have experienced wrenching dislocations in their fundamental values and beliefs.... We are alarmed that some of the current voices of stridency and division may replace those of reason and unity. If these voices continue unchallenged, the results will be predictable: a rise in "demonology" and hostility, a breakdown in community and social spirit, a deterioration of free and open dialogue, and the temptation to grasp at simplistic solutions for complex problems.
People For the American Way was established to address these matters.

Established in 1888, South Pacific Division is one of the
Corps’ eight regions nationwide. Four operating Districts,
headquartered in Albuquerque, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and
San Francisco, provide federal and military engineering support
in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and in
parts of Colorado, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Texas. The
civil works program is oriented around major watersheds in the
region and leverage federal resources for navigation, flood
damage reduction and ecosystem restoration.
Fifteen of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the
United States are in this diverse region where water resources
are a key limiting factor. Much of the region gets less than 20
inches of precipitation a year, however when it rains it pours.
Major floods are a threat to life and property.
The Corps uses a watershed approach to flood damage
reduction that takes into account issues such as water supply
and ecosystem restoration. Major river basins include the
Sacramento, San Joaquin, Santa Ana, Colorado and Rio Grande, which are governed by complex water rights. Water resources
are vital to agriculture, urban development, natural ecosystems, and Tribal interests. There are more than 300 threatened and
endangered species in the region. We issue regulatory permits under the Clean Water Act for development occurring in the
nation’s waters and wetlands, balancing environmental stewardship with the need for economic and urban growth.
The Corps works in partnership with other federal agencies, state governments and local communities on collaborative
solutions to these complex water resource issues.
