Tell our senators to clean up the bay!

This spring, the Senate is set to consider legislation that has the potential to finally restore the Chesapeake Bay. One of the keys to success for this legislation is support from Virginia’s senators, but so far, they are sitting on the fence.

Take a quick moment to fill out the information in the righ-hand column and send Sens. Warner and Webb an e-mail letting them know you want a clean, healthy Chesapeake Bay.

Subject Sens. Warner and Webb: Clean up the bay!
Letter * Dear Sens. Warner and Webb, The Chesapeake Bay is one of Virginia's most important natural resources and needs to be protected. Unfortunately, for the past 25 years we have relied on voluntary goals to reduce pollution entering the bay. The result has been a decline in the oysters and blue crabs that call the bay home, and a dead zone that covers more than one-third of the waterway in the summer. For these reasons, I would like for you to cosponsor the Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act (S. 1816) that was introduced by Sen. Ben Cardin last fall. This bill provides a comprehensive approach to cleaning up the bay and establishes, for the first time, a firm deadline for implementing bay restoration activities. We deserve a clean bay, and we need your leadership to see its restoration. Sincerely,
