Action Alert: Stop the Water Free-For-All!

You can take action on this alert by reading the information below and following the directions at the bottom.

Keep Michigan's Waters in Michigan

Water is what makes Michigan a great place to live. Michigan’s waterways are our greatest natural resource. We depend on this water for our way of life. But unlike other Great Lakes states, Michigan does not have laws protecting our water from irresponsible use. Large corporations, like mining and water bottling companies, are using this water “free for all” to treat our Great Lakes as their own, even sending Great Lakes waters to other states and far off places.

For healthy families and a high quality of life, we need to protect this precious resource. For years, special interests and partisanship have thwarted efforts to regulate water use. Fortunately, our legislators in Lansing have gotten the message that Michigan’s water use “free-for-all” is bad for citizens and our waterways. They are writing laws to protect Michigan’s water, but they are also being pressured by special interests to pass weak legislation that will not adequately protect our waterways.

Please e-mail your lawmakers and ask them to act this fall to support comprehensive water use laws as outlined in the Great Lakes, Great Michigan campaign platform.
