Subject:
We Can't Stand for Polluted Water

Dear Congress,

Earthjustice and its partners, the Appalachian Center for the Economy and the Environment, Coal River Mountain Watch, the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition, the Sierra Club, and the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy, and all of the people who have signed this petition, support the Clean Water Protection Act and ask that Congress take immediate action to pass it.

We are appalled that coal mining companies have been allowed to get away with dumping mining waste into our waters, doing irreparable harm to the rivers, streams and lakes that our communities and ecosystems depend upon.

We demand immediate action to protect our waters from further permanent destruction. The Clean Water Protection Act, which would restore previous rules against dumping mining waste into our waters, is a critical step in preventing the destruction of our most precious natural resource.

We are standing up for what's right, and you should too! Pass the Clean Water Protection Act and protect our rivers, streams and headwaters for the health and enjoyment of future generations.

Thank You,
[Your name]
