The Mother of All Rollbacks
http://www.hrwc.org/tag/barrasso-heller-amendment/
We are nearly speechless about the audacity of the Barrasso-Heller Amendment to H. R. 2354 that the U.S.
Senate is poised to vote on in a few days.
This rider to the fiscal year 2012 Energy and Water
Appropriations Bill would permanently block efforts to make sure the most fragile waters are protected
by the Clean Water Act. The amendment would prevent the Army Corps of Engineers
from clarifying the extent to which wetlands and intermittent streams are
protected under the Clean Water Act.
We are signing on to the letter from
HOW TO TAKE ACTION: Call Senators Levin and Stabenow
to tell them to VOTE NO on the Barrasso-Heller Dirty Water Amendment to H.R. 2354.
Call the Capitol Hill directory at 202-224-3121 and ask to
be connected.
WHAT TO SAY
The message to convey to the Senators is simple: Ask them
to vote NO on the Barrasso-Heller Amendment to the Energy and Water
Appropriations (H.R. 2354). A vote for the Barrasso-Heller
Amendment is a vote in favor of dirtier water.
A vote against this dirty water amendment is a vote in favor of safer
and cleaner water for all Americans.
