Protect Maine's Clean Water

Until last week, we were on the cusp of a major victory to restore Clean Water Act protections to nearly 25,000 miles of streams and many wetlands in Maine. President Obama and the Army Corps of Engineers were about to issue the new protections. These streams and wetlands feed our rivers and the drinking water for nearly half a million Mainers. But the House of Representatives, led by members doing the bidding of Big Oil and other polluters, voted last week to block these clean water protections, and the Senate is expected to vote on the issue next week. The vote is expected to be VERY close, and Senators Snowe and Collins appear to be on the fence so please sign the petition today.
