Has your Rep co-sponsored the Clean Water Restoration Act?

[MH1]

There's a good chance he/she has, since there are already 169 cosponsors; but you may want to check it out and send them a nudge, if they haven't.

Go here (EarthJustice action page) to send a message to your rep:

Read the House bill (H.R.2421) here.

Read the corresponding Senate bill (S.1870) here.

More from EarthJustice:

Polluting industries are trying to undo long-established safeguards for our local waterways and wetlands, but we now have a chance to stop them. If they have their way, up to 60 percent of our nation’s rivers and streams could be stripped of federal Clean Water Act protections.

The Clean Water Restoration Act would restore the original intent of the Clean Water Act, the law that has protected our communities from pollution and cleaned up our nation’s water - water that our kids can play in, water that supports healthy fish and wildlife populations, water that is free from dangerous toxins.

We have momentum. This is the perfect opportunity as a citizen concerned with protecting all U.S. waters to ask your representative to co-sponsor the Clean Water Restoration Act. Already, 166 Members of the U.S. House are supporting this bill.

Take action now to urge Congress to protect our local waters by supporting the Clean Water Restoration Act.

If you think this is a worthy effort, please K & R and spread the word. Thanks!

1. My rep is a co-sponsor

so it looks like I'll be calling the other three non-sponsors in my state. Thanks for the head's up.

3. If I don't say something

then how do I know anyone else has.

My mom was an old grassroots-oriented Democrat. I believe in calling all the reps in my state and letting them know how one of their fellow citizens think. In short, I harass the Republicans as much as I do the Dems. Besides, if I didn't tell them who else would?

Thanks for the head's up. It's on my do-to list for Wednesday.
