Vote YES on the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (AKA Clean Water Act)
This bill has an extremely large impact on the waters of our nation. As a concerned citizen, I feel it is right to protect our water so that it will always be safe to drink, swim in, and use in many things. This bill will help our water stay clean and usable.
This water act influences many people. If we have dirty water, it is not safe to drink, to swim in, or to fish in (if it does not already kill the fish living in those polluted waters). We would lose our fishing recreation as well as becoming very sick form drinking contaminated water. Big factories, especially along Cancer Ally, pollute the water of poeple living around that area, and those people then become very sick. Keeping our water clean is extremely important to our health, our recreation, and our environment.
People against this bill might say that corporations will have to spend a lot of money to make sure that their run-off is clean, or that the cost of cleaning our waters is too high, but how can politicians buy that??? The cost of cleaning our waters and run-off is nowhere near as high as the health costs, not to mention how much more expensive it would be to clean all the water 100 years from now!
Your support on the continuation of this bill is so very appreciated. I hope that you continue to support this bill in any way you can, and encourage others to do so as well. If you have any questions, please contact me at 888-888-8888, or email me at student@mail.com.
Thank you for your time,

Great job on the letter. I don't know if you had this problem but when I was writing my letter I was having trouble organizing my thoughts. Looks like you managed it really well though. You have plenty of good information here.
ReplyDeleteAnother water issue, yes! We totally need to emphasize on our water. After all, we don't have a lot of fresh water left anymore. We need to keep them clean. Awesome letter!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Clean water is crucial--especially after what we learned about water bottles and how we should refrain from them. If we have dirty water and don't want to drink water bottle then what do we drink? Keep advocating!!
