Dear Clean Water Network Members and Others,
REMINDER:
ACT NOW to schedule meetings with your Senators and Representatives for the in-district work period of April 6-17 to talk with them about restoring the Clean Water Act. Setting up a meeting takes advance time, so it is best to get a request in as soon as possible. Whether your members of Congress have supported the bill in the past or not, we need to impress upon all of them the urgency of addressing the issue this year!
To find out district office contact information click on www.house.gov or www.senate.gov and follow the prompts. You can also call the Capitol Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121 to be connected to your Senators’ or Representative’s DC office.
