In Colorado, Democrats and Republicans are arguing over whether people have the right to rain barrels in their homes.
When it rains, people collect water in barrels for their own use, cutting the necessity for running water.
Both sides are arguing whether this should be legal or not. As you all know, certain states have restrictions on self-sufficient they can live.
Find out what Democrats and Republicans are saying about this issue and what is being done about it on the video after the break.
Coloradans want to have the legal right to collect rain water and hope that their needs will be heard.

Democrats be like “that’s totally not us doing that!!!”
Well their idiots so you guys need to vote in non idiots – send me $9.99 and I’ll spell it out in Spanish too
1 step closer to the privatization of every drop of water on earth. Heard about this in the early 90s and figured it would be impossible… now more plausible than ever.
~ God Given ~ Tell them to go to Hell ~
Bury the barrels underground then they can’t see them
This is dumb we live on a planet with more water than land really!! Take them officials and throw them to another country or a firing line.
They vote democrat, pull up your liberal panties and deal with it.
Recall election and replace those idiots!
Legislation to control rain collection is utterly insane. The audacity of our government is outrageous…
They can pound salt in there asses…
They also want to do away with back yard grills.

SMOKE WEED OR RAIN COLLECTION , PICK OR MOVE
Liberal logic.
Kind of like when satellite tv first came out and went to court over the people buying their own equipment and getting the service for free. Courts said if the signal fell on their property, they were entitled to do what they wanted with it. Creating the practice of encoding by the cable providers. Rain falling on my property, is mine.
That’s bull. I don’t live in Colorado but I have two rain barrels.
What’s next?
Democrats are like locusts, They ruined all the large population areas with taxes and regulations and now they are all moving to the country because the cities are no longer pleasant to live in.
Democrats are trying to strip everyone of their rights, its what they do, they just know better than us mere mortals
They voted for em, you get the government you vote for.
Perhaps an underground cistern would be the way to go?
It’s already against federal law.
They are trying to strip everyone in every state. Coloradians need to stand up and shut them down!
They need to get rid of the democrats there idiots
Democrats, trying to take people’s rights? No way…
It wouldnt be hard to alter the flow of rainwater inside the garage for discreet collections. You could even make it look like you have a normal sysyem
They’ve got to have something stupid and senseless to$#%&!@*about and regulate the hell out of. Makes no sense. They want to regulate every aspect of a person’s life.
Good that’s what the stoned liberals deserve !
No one will take my rain barrels. I’m so tired of our government acting like they own / control everything. They want it to be illegal to save seeds and now saving rain. Smh. Our government needs to back up
My understanding of the law is you can collect from your roof or gutters once the rain Water hits the ground it becomes state property. I live on a hill and water streaming down, if I diverted it that would be against the law
My question is, who are the fools that let these people on their property in the first place?
Colorado has voted for and passed the right to collect rain water. And plenty of Democrats and Republicans wanted it to pass. It was mostly special interests and utility companies that were against the bill.
You are allowed one barrel now from you gutters
The government does not own the rain ,God does !!!
Um. This has been settled. And I vote DemocraTIC.
It’s becoming a conflict of interest because everyone knows it’s a big corporation that’s paying for all the lobbying it’s taking.
Game show host named Donald Trump will become president
It was both parties…neither one ain’t$#%&!@*
Yep, time to control the goverment.
You get what you vote for….every single time!!!
We will have Trump fix that for ya!
This page is such a joke
How does the state own the rain? This is ridiculous.
They want the populace to be dependent on them so those special interest groups have a way they can control us. Rain collected for personal use should never be banned.
Tell em all to$#%&!@*off an die …mind there own business…
Here’s the full article, not seeing where it says Democrats are trying to strip people of their ability to collect water. Even states that they’re hoping the bill will encourage people to use rain barrels… http://www.denverpost.com/2016/03/11/whats-behind-the-fight-over-legalizing-rain-barrels-in-colorado/
Kind of like that man that got arrested for diverting a stream that ran through his property. Some people falsely claim he was arrested simply for collecting rain water in barrels.
What would happen if we all stopped paying taxes to these assholes!
Power to the people.
What a misleading headline….from the article; ” Republicans want to make sure rain barrels don’t put a crack in state water law and ensure that those with the oldest and most expensive water rights get their fair share before those with no rights get a drop.
Rep. Jessie Danielson, a Democrat from Arvada, said the House bill she’s sponsoring is about clarifying the law, which might encourage more people to use rain barrels. The measure has passed the state House and is headed to the Senate.”
