Support the Clean Water Protection Act

Ask your rep to stop catastrophic destruction by mountaintop removal. WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES and urge them to co-sponsor and support H.R. 738, The Clean Water Act.

HELP STOP DESTRUCTION OF WATERWAYS. Some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems are being obliterated and entire communities are being driven off their land by mountaintop removal, a coal mining technique that involves blasting away the tops of mountains and dumping them into neighboring valleys and streams.

Stop SUVs from guzzling foreign oil.

In 2003, the United States imported a record 63 percent of its oil, and that is likely to go up. To reverse this trend, we should be creating cars and SUVs that consume less gas. Instead, as SUVs gain in popularity, they are consuming more oil, and the Bush administration is doing nothing to stop it.

We have a unique opportunity to tell the Bush administration to increase our energy independence. The National Highway Traffic Safety Agency (NHTSA) is accepting comments on Bush's proposal. While, you cannot submit comments on this proposal via email, you can go to the Department of Transportation (DOT) web site to submit your comments via a web form.
