Dear Mary, 

We did it! 

Clean Water Voters from Florida to Pennsylvania to Michigan to California went to the polls and made sure that we re-elected the President with the best environmental record in recent history. Clean Water Action helped make this happen, speaking with almost one-half million households about the election, distributing over 250,000 pieces of literature and sending over a million emails to our members. We're still analyzing and updating results, but you can see how other clean water candidates did here [ http://www.cleanwateraction.org/feature/clean-water-election-results ]. 

President Obama and his administration can now finish what they started: taking on long-standing water pollution problems, tackling global warming and power plants pollution and promoting 21st century clean energy, clean water and clear air innovation which will build strong economies and protect our "life support" systems. Clean Water Action will be right there, pushing for strong protections and building support among policymakers and the public. 

We are celebrating now – we should be – it was a hard fought campaign and a second term for President Obama means good things for our water, our health and our economy. But, we can't just sit back and get comfortable. 

Unfortunately, the US House of Representatives will remain hostile to environmental protections. We can expect to see more terrible bills like H.R. 2018, the Dirty Water Bill, introduced, "debated", and passed through the House over the next two years. We will be pressing the President and the leaders of the US Senate to make sure that these bills suffer a quick demise in the Senate.  We will also be organizing to make progress where we can, through action by EPA or other federal agencies and through legislation where we can get it passed. 

But, we can still celebrate a little. And thank you for standing with us! 

Yours for Clean Water, 

Bob Wendelgass, President & CEO
