Dear Mary,

Well, it's a day that ends in "y", so you know what that means – polluters and their allies in Congress are using the budget to defund or weaken environmental protections. Tell your Senators to oppose any amendments to the FY 2014 budget resolution that would weaken vital environmental programs [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=12891 ]. 

Slipping back-door amendments into the budget without hearings or full debate is a terrible way to set environmental policy. Unfortunately, we expect to see dozens of "riders" offered in the upcoming Senate budget debate that would put the health of our water, air, and communities at risk. You can help us make sure those amendments don't pass – send a message to your Senators today and tell them to stand up for a pro-environment budget today [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=12891 ]!

Some of the possible riders would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from protecting communities impacted by toxic coal ash, from finalizing protections for the sources of drinking water for 117 million Americans, and from moving forward with plans to cut greenhouse gases and toxic air emissions. 

Tell your Senators, "enough is enough" and demand that they reject any amendments to the FY 2014 Budget Resolution that would weaken environmental protections. Back-door budget riders are a bad idea. Tell your Senator to vote NO on any budget amendments that would weaken protections for our environment and our health [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=12891 ]!

Yours for Clean Water, 

-Bob Wendelgass, President & CEO
