ACT TODAY TO STOP THE EPA WATER RULE
It's crunch time for an Environmental Protection Agency rule that dramatically expands the definition of "wetlands" under the Clean Water Act. And that means it's time for you to make the call. The Senate will vote on Nov. 3 on a bill that requires EPA to withdraw its rule that radically expands federal jurisdiction for areas required to obtain Section 404 building permits. We need to pass this legislation and overturn this rule, which drives up home prices because of the costly, time-consuming permitting process that's already in a huge backlog.
