Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: ONE

In his Inaugural Address, President Obama said, "let clean waters flow." With those words, he brought recognition to the suffering of 884 million people who do not have access to clean water and 2.5 billion without adequate sanitation.

Senators Durbin and Corker introduced S. 624, The Senator Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2009, a bipartisan bill to make clean water a reality. But with only five cosponsors, the bill isn't getting the attention it needs for a hearing and further action by Senate leaders. It must have at least 20 cosponsors to move forward.

Now is the time to follow through on Obama's inaugural pledge to poor countries. Ask your Senators to cosponsor the Water for the World Act today!
