Dear Friend,

Don't let polluters contaminate your drinking water.


Urge Congress to support
the Clean Water
Restoration Act today!

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 dangerous pollutants like E. coli, bacteria, mercury,
PCBs, and dioxin could be contaminating the drinking water of more
than 110 million Americans .

But Congress can act today to restore the Clean Water Act's original
protections by supporting the Clean Water Restoraction Act.

Click here to urge your Members of Congress to support this critical
legislation.

If strengthened, the Clean Water Restoration Act would bring back
safeguards for drinking water and ensure waterways and wetlands are
kept pollutant-free. 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.

But legislators are under pressure from developers and corporate
polluters to stay quiet on clean water. Why? Because even though these
dangerous pollutants have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and
other health problems, keeping our drinking water clean would cut into
the big polluters' profit margin.

It's this simple: Congress has a choice between standing with big
polluters and their big profits or standing up for the health and well-
being of more than one hundred million Americans.

Don't wait until it's too late—ask your Members of Congress to support
the Clean Water Restoration Act.


Tens of thousands of concerned Americans have already contacted their
Members of Congress to demand a strengthened law to protect our
drinking water. Please add your voice today as Congress considers the
Clean Water Restoration Act.

Sincerely,



Gene Karpinski
