Celebrating the Clean Water Act

The Clean Water Act is one of America's most successful environmental laws. Clean Water Action's in-volvement was pivotal to the law's original drafting and its passage by Congress in 1972. The law faces un-precedented challenges in Congress, and much remains to be done to clean up and protect the nation's water resources. But there is plenty of progress worth celebrating today: Read more [ http://www.cleanwateraction.org/publication/clean-water-currents-fall-2012 ] 

Happy Birthday to Us 

The same four decades that have brought one Clean Water Act success after another have also brought change and accomplishment for Clean Water Action, founded just as the law was getting its start. Clean Water Action has grown from a tiny DC-based operation to become the nation's largest, most effective grassroots organization active on water, energy and environmental health issues. Clean Water Action has one million members and on-the-ground programs directly reaching people in more than seventeen states and the District of Columbia.

Romney-Ryan: Extreme Anti-Environment Positions Would Threaten Water, Jobs 

An embrace of Big Oil's agenda for more government-subsidized drilling and fewer protections for clean water is at the heart of Gov. Mitt Romney's official "environmental" platform as a Presidential candidate. His running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, has helped lead the charge in Congress against EPA and against environmental and health protec-tions. On Clean Water Action's scoring of 12 critical water and health protection votes, Ryan voted wrong every single time. "If it were possible to score Ryan lower than '0' we'd do it," says Clean Water Action's Jennifer Peters, "given his role orchestrating Congressional attacks on clean water protections."

Key Votes in Congress

Clean Water Action has spent much of the past two years defending against an all-out assault in Congress. Fundamental environmental and health protections - highly successful laws such as the Clean Water Act - are under attack. How serious is this situation? So far the U.S. House has considered - and actually voted to pass - more than 300 measures that would weaken clean water, clean air and health protection. Fortunately, the worst of these were turned back in the Senate, with the help of veto threats by President Obama.
