Reach out and touch someone
February 23rd, 2009 by Kristina ShandsYour elected officials, to be more precise. TCWN has kicked off a massive campaign to encourage folks to call their State Senators and Representatives and demand they protect our state’s waters.
Right now, there are 14 destructive water bills in the Senate and House. Any one of these bills could have a devastating impact on our water quality and quantity. All of them combined- well, it’s just bad, bad, bad.
We have added a page to our website that summarizes each bill and provides talking points. Feel free to use those points to write a letter or make a phone call to your Senator and Representative, especially if your representative belongs on one of these committees:
