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.

If someone tried to collect the water as flowing above that would be diverting.
Ditto Adam carpenter’s comment. The right was passed into law last year, was not a partisan issue. Unliking Homesteading Freedom, I’m not here for fake propaganda.

Here’s a more in-depth article and it seems it was actually the Democrats that wanted to make rain barrel collection “legal” for people. Not sure how people got the opposite idea… http://www.denverpost.com/2016/02/29/rain-barrels-in-colorado-might-finally-become-legal-with-this-compromise/

Colorado is almost as phuked up as Cali!
rain barrels legal…and for the record, they became legal when the representatives elected became a democratic majority. tell the truth always, we are already fractured enough as a populace.
The government is mainly working on the west and then work their way east
Do better research before posting crap.
They already passed the law and we can have 110 gallons worth of stoarge. Old news
Liberalism
A majority of people not reliant on government is a direct threat to government jobs and the ability of the government to enslave and extort money from the people.
Mark Barrs whaaaaat?
Since when did our government own the rain?
Well we wouldn’t want anyone to be able to survive without government assistance would we? This is something that needs to go away for all states.
Demcrats and Republicans go hand in hand one cannot exist without the other. So we should get rid of them both.
You get what you pay for too! GMO, pills, plastics…
Bullshit
FYI – it’s not just a republican thing of making rainwater collection illegal. Here in Washington and Oregon it’s illegal. Both run by democrats. So no pointing fingers.
Already a bipartisan settled issue with votes supporting our rights from both Dems answer Republicans. Do your research Idiot haters with no idea about fake propaganda.
I am free to follow the rules,or be punished
“I am free to follow the rules”..lmao stupidest comment ever
Oregon is just as screwed up . We need to outlaw liberals ..
Thank you…
The point is you should not have to keep something like filling a rain barrel a clandestine operation.
Or stand up like a FREE man and do what you want in your own property.
And so what. …they fine you? …you don’t pay….and let me guess you go to jail. ..?…really? ..do we need government oversight to wipe our$#%&!@*with their ridiculous revenue generating laws. ..?hey ever hear of sovereignty? ….what special kind of stupid …#ashamedofmygovernment
Its rain water why is there even a law about this so what if people collect it. Who the hell even came up with the idea of control over it they need to beat. I heard that Maryland taxes rainfall
I wonder how people think democrats freed the slaves
Well sometimes good men must break laws. I understand you shouldnt have to worry about it,but honestly what can ya do? Atleast here and now
I live in Alaska for a reason . . .
Now where are those people that says prisoners should be shot in a SHTF scenario? One you do what was ALWAYS legal and your God given right, two your “friendly” politician decides that’s illegal (what ever the reason may be) and you end up with your butt in jail…
So the government owns the rain now I guess it is something else it wants to screw up.
Ya, damn those democrats. Always wanting to feed the hungry and heal the sick. What a bunch of assholes.
But they don’t feed the hungry or heal the sick. They take money from tax payers and use some of it to feed the hungry and heal the sick. They keep most of the money for themselves.
It is the law in Oregon. Who owns the rain? The US government apparently now. In the past few years laws over making the collection of rainwater illegal have been causing an uproar across the US. In some cases it has to do with massive dams on large areas of land, but it is also the attempt to limit basic survival skills and being self-sufficent.
Our rights have been being stripped from all of us, for quite some time. Its time to rebel & fight for each & every single one. We as a whole, are the true power.
Didn’t we just pass a law allowing this? Stranger yet why do we have to pass laws laws allowing the collection of water?? Lol
So now the government owns rainwater. They are absolute lunatics.
Democrats aren’t picking on Coloradans, they want to strip EVERYONE of their rights.
If you’re not drinking city water, you’re not consuming your government prescribed chemicals (drugs) and this is a problem.
Who cares they put a democratic governor in off so who cares!
Shawn Cowan I know where you are coming from and agree. If only people took a moment to study legit history sites one can easily find that the older Democratic party wasn’t the party of today.
Though the actual Democratic party didn’t officially start the KKK, it was made up of primary Democrats. Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, believed to be the KKK’s first Grand Dragon, even spoke at the 1868 Democratic National Convention
It wasn’t until the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that it caused the “white supremacist” within the Democratic party to leave.
How stupid
wow so the poor can’t even get water for them self, very self center choice.
It is already illegal to collect rainwater here in Nevada. You can however divert it for immediate use.
I’d put more out now, if I lived in Colorado. I live in Ohio and I have 3 rain barrels, soon to have more for reserve to run my washer and toilet…
“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.
“Even if we can conserve the smallest amount of water, it is less treated drinking water being poured out onto our lawns,” Danielson said.” Taken from your article Die Hard Survivor.
Seems to me that you should read your articles before posting them, but then again you probably wanted to use that headline as clickbait.
Note: this is not a political statement in support of one party or another. This is just a statement on how you created an untruthful headline to get people to click on your link.
Thomas look up Colorado House bill 16-1005
Yea, pretty dumb
