I know it may sound crazy, but the Bush administration has actually made a proposal to allow wastewater treatment plants to dump barely treated sewage into American waters whenever it rains. I don't know about you, but I don't want more sewage in my water no matter the weather.
Fortunately, neither do a lot of Members of Congress, and they've banded together to make sure this proposal does not get enacted. This week, Congress is going to vote to stop the Bush administration's proposal from becoming law.
Please take a moment to ask your Member of Congress to keep more sewage out of America's water. Then, if you have friends who don't want more sewage in their water either, forward this email to them and ask them to contact their Member of Congress too.

Background
The Bush administration has issued a proposal that would allow wastewater treatment plants to dump barely treated sewage into American lakes, rivers, and streams whenever it rains. Allowing routine sewage dumping isn't just gross, it's also a serious threat to public health and the environment - the Bush administration proposal will increase the number of people who are exposed to bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxics and other pollution in water.
Fortunately, many Members of Congress are standing up to the White House to keep sewage out of the water. They've proposed an amendment to make sure that routine sewage dumping remains illegal, and it's going to be voted on next week.
We believe we can get a majority of Members of Congress to act for clean water - and that's where you come in. We need enough people to contact their representatives so that they hear loud and clear that we want clean and safe drinking water and healthy places to swim and fish.
