Protecting our Clean and Safe Water: Your votes can give this priority the attention it deserves

Only a few hours left before the 5pm voting deadline, Friday March 12

Dear Mary, 
Voting by Clean Water Action members like you have brought Clean Water Action very close to winning Change.org's Ideas for Change in America competition. 

Look "Upstream" to Protect Water and Health: Prevent Pollution and Health Harm Before Toxics Enter Our Water [ http://www.change.org/ideas/view/look_upstream_to_protect_water_and_health_prevent_pollution_and_health_harm_before_toxics_enter_our_water ]. If you agree that this approach makes sense as the best path to cleaner, safer water, we need your votes now to make it into the top 10 [ http://www.change.org/ideas/view/look_upstream_to_protect_water_and_health_prevent_pollution_and_health_harm_before_toxics_enter_our_water ]. 

Sometimes, a system becomes so badly broken that no amount of tinkering around the edges - not even the world's largest roll of duct tape - can make things right. When it comes to protecting water and health, it's surely time for an overhaul. 

Clean Water Action's proposal is based on preventing pollution and health harm before irreversible damage is already done, and has made it into the final round of voting in Change.org's Ideas for Change in America competition. Your votes now could make the winning difference. [ http://www.change.org/ideas/view/look_upstream_to_protect_water_and_health_prevent_pollution_and_health_harm_before_toxics_enter_our_water ] 

This is a powerful yet practical vision for the kind of overhaul that offers real promise for America's Clean Water future. If you agree, please show your support by voting in advance of the March 12 deadline (5pm Eastern).
