The short explanation of this alert was:

Keep our country's waters safe and clean for people and wildlife!  Urge your representative to vote for H.R. 2421, the Clean Water Restoration Act!

Recent Supreme Court decisions and agency directives under the Bush Administration have narrowed federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act to exclude waters that have received protection for the past thirty years. The effect of these decisions jeopardizes up to 60 percent of America's streams, creeks, and rivers as well as tens of millions of acres of wetlands.

The Clean Water Restoration Act of 2007 (H.R. 2421 / S.1870) reaffirms Congress' original intent in enacting the Clean Water Act – to protect all waters of the United States from pollution. This bi-partisan legislation was introduced by Representative James Oberstar (D-MN), John Dingell (D-MI) and Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) and is endorsed by over 450 organizations including the conservation community, family farmers, hunters and anglers, surfers, boaters, faith communities, labor unions and environmental justice advocates.
