Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hey friends, Did you know that pollutersare actually allowed to contaminate your drinkingwater? The Supreme Court and the BushAdministration have recently sided with polluters to strip vitalprotections from the Clean Water Act. That means that pollutantslike E-Coli, bacteria, mercury, PCBs and dioxincould be contaminating the drinking water of more than 110million Americans. Congress will hold hearings inthe coming weeks on the Clean Water Restoration Act, which wouldrestore the Clean Water Act's original protections to all bodiesof water. Even a handful more co-sponsors would build themomentum we need get to winning votes of 218 in the House and 60in the Senate. Will you contactCongress and ask them to support this criticallegislation? Click here tocontact your Members of Congress and ask them to support theClean Water Restoration Act. Developers and corporatepolluters want to keep dumping contaminants linked to cancer,birth defects and other health problems into our water, becausedealing with chemical waste, oil spills, and other pollutionwould cut into their profit margin. Congress has a choicebetween standing with polluters or standing up for the healthand well-being of millions of Americans. No doubt they will be hearing frompolluters - they need to hear from constituents aswell. Don't wait until it's too late - theSenate hearing on clean water is on April 9 and the hearing inthe House is on April 16. Ask yourMembers of Congress to support the Clean Water Restoration ActTODAY. Tens of thousands of LCVsupporters have already contacted their Members of Congress todemand an end to this reckless contamination. Please add yourvoice today.
