Stop the Congressional Attack on our Rivers

Today, as the U.S. House of Representatives brought a budget bill to the floor to fund the federal government through the end of the year, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) attempted a sneak attack on the future of clean water for the 17 million residents of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

The amendment just offered by Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia would prohibit the EPA from enforcing the Clean Water Act, specifically the federally-mandated pollution diet for the Chesapeake region that is just beginning to make a difference.

Act Now

The Goodlatte amendment may be up for a vote as early as tomorrow. Tell your member of Congress to VOTE AGAINST the Continuing Resolution and the Goodlatte amendment that does away with 30 years of work to protect the rivers and streams of the Chesapeake Bay. Thank you for your time and effort!

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
