6,306 Signatures Mailed to Senators in Washington D.C. for Water for the World Act

The Brad Paisley H2O Tour has swept through Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Texas in the past two months, and the Water=Hope Campaign has heard your voice! Over 6,300 signatures were collected during these concerts to support the Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2009.  

We asked Senators George S. LeMieux (FL), Bill Nelson (FL), Charles E. Schumer (NY), John Cornyn (TX), and Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX) to sign the Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2009 as a co-sponsor to advance clean water and sanitation development activities accompanying your signatures. The Act would provide over 100,000,000 people with first-time access to safe drinking water and sanitation on a sustainable basis by 2015.

At the same time, we said Thank You to Senators Roland W. Burris (IL), Kirsten E. Gillibrand (NY) Robert P. Casey, Jr. (PA), and Arlen Specter (PA) for already co-sponsoring this important bill. And, Senator Richard J. Durbin (IL) is the sponsor of the bill. We are proud of their leadership on this issue.

If you would like to call or write your Senator, click HERE to find his/her contact information.

Please support this great initiative to provide thousands of people with clean water this year for the first time. Buy a tshirt; help us build a well.
