Dear Arnold,

When Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, it intended to establish

broad protections to achieve the law's goal of restoring and maintaining

the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.

However, since 2001, Supreme Court decisions have called into doubt these

broad protections. The Bush administration exploited these doubts to weaken

oversight of our nation's water.

 

_Now, you can help to restore the Clean Water Act to its full strength! _

This Thursday, June 18, the Senate's Environment and Public Works

Committee will meet to consider the Clean Water Restoration Act (S. 787).

Congress

must act now to resolve the confusion and uncertainty around the Clean

Water Act because we are losing many vital waters to pollution and complete

destruction.

 

Some members of the committee have floated weakening amendments. They

want to ensure that the damage done to the Clean Water Act isn't repaired.

 

_You can stop these efforts by emailing your Senator and asking them to

oppose any amendments designed to weaken the Clean Water Restoration Act._

The Clean Water Restoration Act needs to move forward now to resolve the

confusion and uncertainty around the Clean Water Act that is leaving many

vital waters open to pollution and complete destruction.
