In the 40 years since the Clean Water Act was passed, we have
made great strides toward fishable and swimmable waters. The James is arguably
one of the rivers that has been the most improved – coming back from a 13-year
fishing ban to recently being lauded as the river that runs through Outside Magazine’s Best
River Town.
But what can we do to continue to protect and improve
America’s Founding River? One simple act is voting for Clean Water. So on
November 6th, please keep the James in mind as you head in to the
voting booth. Remember that your vote affects the future policies and funding
that will impact water quality.
Learn where your candidates stand on the Clean Water Act and
remember that Virginia families have a right to enjoy clean rivers, streams and
beaches. Let them know that Clean Water is a priority for you. Cast your ballot
for Clean Water!
