From the League of Conservation Voters:

Hearings in the House and Senate over the next couple of weeks could determine whether or not the Clean Water Restoration Act will be brought to a vote.

Your Members of Congress need to hear from you on this important legislation before these hearings. Will you call your representatives and ask them to support the Clean Water Restoration Act?

Calling your Members of Congress is easy. Here is the information you need:

WHO:

Senator Bunning at (202) 224-4343
Senator McConnell at (202) 224-2541
Representative Chandler at (202) 225-4706
WHEN: TODAY, Thursday, April 3
WHAT TO SAY: Tell the legislative staffer who answers that:

* I am calling in support of the Clean Water Restoration Act.
* As a constituent, I am concerned that the weakening of the Clean Water Act has put the drinking water of millions of Americans at risk for contamination with pollutants like E-Coli, mercury, PCBs and dioxin.
* The Clean Water Restoration Act will keep polluters from contaminating our drinking water with chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, and other critical health problems.

We would like to have as many calls as possible reach Congress today. However, if you can't make the calls today, please call your Senators before the April 9th Senate hearing, and your Representative before the April 16th House hearing.

Thank you for all that you do for the environment,


Gene Karpinski
President
