Thank you for pushing this act S.624 and its partner in the House H.R. 2030. We’ve been behind it since it was introduced, and are working with the political action committee WaterPAC who have this act as their main issue. (http://waterpac.org) If anyone wants to really fight for this issue, I recommend you check out this PAC… they are looking for nominations to their Advisory Board.
