Over the last 35 years, the Clean Water Act has helped make significant strides to clean up Wisconsin's rivers, lakes and streams. But today, many of our most majestic waterways still suffer from industrial pollution and run-off contamination from overdevelopment.
Yet instead of continuing to improve our clean water laws, the Bush administration has implemented policies that eliminate basic Clean Water Act protections for many of our most pristine waterways—in Wisconsin and nationwide. This has already led to more pollution going into the small streams and nearby wetlands that nourish our state's great rivers and lakes.
We need Wisconsin's elected officials in Washington, D.C., to act now and ensure that all of our rivers and lakes are protected for the present and for future generations.
