Dear Mary, 

Stand with us to continue our clean water progress! [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=10558 ]

The assault on our water being cranked up by polluters and their allies across our Chesapeake Bay Region and in Washington, DC is unprecedented – and alarming.  With your help, Clean Water Action has been able to hold the line against the polluters, stopping the worst of the rollbacks, so far. But the attacks aren't over yet. 

Will you keep standing with us now? [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=10558 ] Your gift today will help Clean Water Action stop these Dirty Water attacks. Together, we can protect our water and health.

The nation's worst polluters, including Big Coal, want to weaken fundamental clean water protections. And so far this year, the U.S. House has voted 170 times to weaken clean air and clean water laws or to block the U.S. EPA from doing its job protecting people's health. Now, the U.S. Senate is poised to vote on the polluters' Dirty Water agenda. 

Action by Clean Water Action members over the past several days has strengthened our chances for success in the Senate. But this will still be very close, and the attacks on our water aren't over yet. 

Now is also the time to go on the offensive. Those elected officials with records stained by their Dirty Water votes must be held accountable when they seek reelection in 2012, if not sooner. With your continued support [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=10558 ], we can make that happen. 

What's happening in Washington is not separate from what's happening locally across our region. At stake is the future of the Chesapeake Bay, and all the rivers and streams that feed it. Our continued progress on tackling impacts on our water from fracking for natural gas, mining for uranium or reckless, poorly planned development will also help shift the momentum back in favor of Clean Water in Congress.

With your help [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=10558 ], we've made significant clean water progress over the past 40 years. With your help, we'll continue that progress toward a future with fishable, swimmable, drinkable water for ALL Americans. Now is the time when your financial support and active involvement will make all the difference. Please give generously today  [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=10558 ]to help Clean Water Action continue fighting in Congress and all across the U.S. to protect our clean water future.

Yours for Clean Water,

Robert Wendelgass, President & CEO
