We the people believe that although Lake Texoma is managed by the Corps of Engineers, it is unethical to diminish it's water levels beyond recreational usability during times of drought. Lake Texoma is responsible for tens of thousands of jobs in the North Texas/Southern Oklahoma region. There is no reason for thousands of people to lose their livelihood or favorite summer retreat, for the purpose of hydroelectric energy, while Oklahoma and Texas are both rich with alternative energy sources such as wind and natural gas. This area is simply too reliant on the tourism brought in by the lake to survive without it. Lake Texoma is also home to many species, endangered and non-endangered alike.
