Protect and Strengthen Our Public Water – Support a Water Protection and Reinvestment Trust Fund!

July 28, 2009
Dear Activists,
Our water and wastewater infrastructure is in desperate need of repair. The American Society of Civil Engineers has given both systems a D- grade. In order to protect our essential water resources, create tens of thousands of green jobs, and safeguard public health, join us in urging Congress to create a permanent and dedicated federal funding source!
On July 15, 2009, Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR-3) introduced H.R.3202, which would create such a trust fund. While the bill is excellent in many respects, it should be strengthened to ensure public dollars go to public water systems, not to subsidize corporate profits of private water companies. By signing below, you can show your support for a Water Protection and Reinvestment Trust Fund that protects and strengthens our publicly owned water and wastewater systems.
Urge Your Congressperson to Support The Water Protection and Reinvestment Trust Fund by Signing Below!
Sincerely,
Wenonah Hauter
Executive Director
