Senate Committee to Vote on Clean Water Restoration

Leading Sportsmen’s Groups Reaction to Clean Water Restoration
Vote .

Ducks Unlimited

Washington, DC – -(AmmoLand.com)- The Senate Environment and
Public Works Committee will vote on the Clean Water Restoration Act (S. 787) on
Thursday June 18, 2009 in a markup hearing beginning at 10 am. The bill has
strong endorsements from leading conservation groups, including Ducks Unlimited,
the National Wildlife Federation, the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation
Partnership, and Trout Unlimited.

Following the Senate EPW Committee vote find out the reaction of America’s
leading sportsmen advocates for protecting clean, safe drinking water. Join the
experts on clean water and wetlands from Ducks Unlimited, Trout Unlimited,
National Wildlife Federation and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership
for an update on what the committee vote means for wetlands and streams and what
the next steps will be for clean water and wetlands.

More than 20 million acres of wetlands and thousands of miles of streams have
lost their protection from drainage and destruction under the Clean Water Act.
Two Supreme Court cases, and the regulatory guidance that followed from the Army
Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency, stripped these
protections. The Clean Water Restoration would restore these safeguards and
ensure clean drinking water for all Americans, as well protect millions of acres
of wetlands and thousands of miles of streams used by America’s wildlife.

This will be a remote conference – members of the media are encouraged to
call in to the conference.

Speakers:
Dr. Scott Yaich, Director of Conservation
Programs for Ducks Unlimited.
Jan Goldman-Carter, Wetlands and Water
Resources Counsel, National Wildlife Federation.
Steve Moyer, Vice-President
for Conservation Programs, Trout Unlimited.
Geoff Mullins, Policy Initiatives
Manager, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership

When: Thursday June 18, 2009 at 2 pm (Eastern time)

Call-in Number: 1-866-548-2699

About:
With more than a million supporters, Ducks
Unlimited is the world’s largest and most effective wetland and waterfowl
conservation organization with more than 12 million acres conserved. The United
States alone has lost more than half of its original wetlands – nature’s most
productive ecosystem – and continues to lose more than 80,000 wetland acres each
year.

Restoration Act”

Wow. This legislation would give federal regulators the power to restrict
hunting, sport fishing, etc. Did you know that environmentalists think the
lead from spent shot hurts the environment and pollutes, so they want to ban
hunting near bodies of water (like creeks, rivers, ponds of any size)? This
legislation would give unelected bureaucrats the power to do that, and give
green groups the power to sue the government if the bureaucrats refuse to do
that.

Any hunter or sport fisherman or shooting sports fan who urges people to
support this bill is out of their mind. Read more at http://www.nationalcenter.org/NPA567.html or http://www.nationalcenter.org/CWRA.html . Don’t fall for the
spin. The current Clean Water Act is still in effect and was never repealed.
WE DO NOT NEED THIS BILL TO HAVE CLEAN WATER.
