This is about our drinking water

Diane -- The Clean Water Act has protected our natural resources, and kept drinking water safe for decades. But -- believe it or not -- some people actually oppose these common-sense protections, and have spent years and millions of dollars fighting to weaken them. It's working. Polluters across the country are exploiting loopholes, jeopardizing the upstream sources of the lakes, rivers, and reservoirs that 117 million Americans count on for their drinking water. Right now, President Obama is working to crack down on it by improving basic clean-water protections -- and he's facing a deep-pocketed and deeply cynical opposition. There are two clear sides here: Add your name right now to support the President's plan -- and stand up to polluters and special interests threatening our waters. Really, it's hard to believe anyone could oppose clean water. We decided decades ago that we as a country have an obligation to future generations to protect our waters: clear mountain streams, the shores of Chesapeake Bay, the peaceful beauty of Puget Sound. The Great Lakes alone contain 20 percent of the world's surface fresh water. Those great bodies of water are brought to life by millions of miles of streams and wetlands that are at risk. But special interests carry a lot of weight in Washington, and polluters have spent years chipping away and fighting for loopholes that threaten more than 2 million miles of streams, and millions of acres of wetlands -- and too many members of Congress are going along with them. But it turns out, most Americans aren't too happy about polluters messing with the water supply. That's why it's time to fight for the EPA standards the President is proposing -- common-sense protections for our rivers, lakes, streams, and wetlands.
