Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 It's hard to believe, but polluters are actually allowed to contaminate your drinking water. Why? Because the Supreme Court and the Bush Administration have sided with polluters to strip vital protections from the Clean Water Act. That means that pollutants like E-Coli, bacteria, mercury, PCBs and dioxin could be contaminating the drinking water of more than 110 million Americans. Congress will hold hearings in the coming weeks on the Clean Water Restoration Act, which would restore the Clean Water Act's original protections to all bodies of water. Even a handful more co-sponsors would build the momentum we need to get to winning votes of 218 in the House and 60 in the Senate. Will you contact Congress and ask them to support this critical legislation? Click below to ask your Members of Congress to support the Clean Water Restoration Act. http://action.lcv.org/campaign/Mar_08_cwra/ie87nn5ra7tkk336? Developers and corporate polluters want to keep dumping contaminants linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems into our water because dealing with chemical waste, oil spills, and other pollution would cut into their profit margin. Congress has a choice between standing with polluters or standing up for the health and well-being of millions of Americans. No doubt they will be hearing from polluters - they need to hear from constituents as well. Don't wait until it's too late - ask your Members of Congress to support the Clean Water Restoration Act TODAY. http://action.lcv.org/campaign/Mar_08_cwra/ie87nn5ra7tkk336? Tens of thousands of LCV supporters have already contacted their Members of Congress to demand an end to this reckless contamination. Please add your voice as Congress considers the Clean Water Restoration Act.
