Re-Elect President Barack Obama! 

Dear Mary, 

The election is less than two weeks away and the question is, what are you going to do? 

This is the most important environmental election in years. President Obama has led one of the most pro-environment administrations we have ever seen. In just three years, his administration has made progress on dozens of critical issues, with the U.S. House of Representatives fighting him every step of the way. The race is incredibly close, but the choice is clear –* re-elect President Barack Obama [ http://www.cleanwateraction.org/page/2012-presidential-endorsement ]*! 

On November 6th, we're either going to re-elect a President who has enacted an ambitious new fuel standard of 54.5 mpg , a standard that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil, save consumers money, create jobs and fight climate change--or we'll elect a candidate who laughed at climate change in his acceptance speech. 

Under President Obama's leadership: 
  * The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued rules that will reduce mercury and other toxic emissions by coal fired power plants and cement kilns. 
  * EPA issued a proposal to restore protection under the Clean Water Act for small streams and wetlands, which supply the drinking water for 117 million Americans. 
  * When the Senate wouldn't act on climate change, the White House took action directly. In addition to the new fuel standard of 54.5 mpg, EPA issued a draft rule that will limit greenhouse gas emissions from new power plants for the first time ever. 
  * EPA also issued new rules to reduce the environmental damage from oil and gas drilling, including fracking operations, cutting air pollution and restricting the use of diesel in fracking. The Bureau of Land Management has also proposed rules to regulate fracking on public land. 

The list goes on. We need to re-elect President Barack Obama so we can finish what he started. That's where you come in - we need you to be a clean water voter. More than that, we need you to spread the word! Share this [ http://www.cleanwateraction.org/files/publications/Obama%20Record%20on%20Environment.pdf ] with your friends and family, and volunteer to elect clean water candidates [ http://www.cleanwateraction.org/page/volunteer-elect-clean-water-leaders ], and, most importantly, vote for Barack Obama for President! 

The race is incredibly close, and every vote will count. So, what are you going to do?
