Please Co-Sponsor S. 2766 or H.R. 5949 – they are identical bills – the "Clean Boating Act of 2008." Committees on BOTH houses have PASSED this BI-PARTISAN Legislation!

Sign the Petition : 9,691 Letters and Emails Sent So Far

Over 32 Senators are co-sponsoring S.2766, including Sen Barabra Boxer, Olympia Snow, Carl Levin, Dianne Fienstein, Evan Bayh, Arlen Specter, and Chris Dodd. Will you please join them?
Congressman Steve LaTourette of Ohio and Candice Miller of Michigan introduced H.R. 5949, the Clean Boating Act of 2008 and it, too, has been passed by committee. Would you please join them and dozens of other House co-sponsores?

Without passage of this bill before Sept. 15, 2008, America’s 13 million boat owners will have to pay for NEEDLESS EPA Permits. This added cost could spell doom for recreational boating which will cost thousands of jobs and add a needless burden to American citizens trying to enjoy their recreation.

Please add your name as a co-sponsor to one of these bills.

    Thanks for supporting this legislation. This is very important to the recreational boaters of Georgia and the US.

    What can I do to get Senator Murkowski to remove her oppostiion to the bill? How can one person stop this much needed relief bill?

    More of the same BULL SHIT FROM OUR ILLUSTRIOUS NATION CAPITAL. TO ATTACH THE RECREATIONAL BOATER MANDATE FOR CLEAN WATER TO THE MANDATE FOR SHIPS BRACKISH WATER CONTROL IS MORE P[ROOF OF WHAT IS INHERENTLY WRONG WITH OUR CURRENT POLITICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE BEEN A RECREATIONAL BOATER FOR 20 YEARS AND I CAN ATTEST TO THE CARING OF ALMOST ALL BOATERS. AS A GROUP WE DO NOT THROW CIG BUTTS ON THE WATER AS MANY DO ON THE STREETS. THE DEDICATED BOATERS KEEP THEIR BOATS IMMACULATE. THEY DO NOT POLUTE.......... THEY ARE CONCENTIOUS ABOUT WASTE BACK TO THE SHORE OR MARINA. WHEN YOU DECIDE TO SWIM YOU WANT THE LAKE, RIVER, SHORE AREAS CLEAN AND SANITARY. THIS ATTACHMENT AGAINST RECREATIONAL BOATERS THT HAS BEEN ATTACHED TO THE BRACKISH WATER CLEAN UP OF SHIPS WATERS IS WRONG, DECEITFUL, ILL INTENDED, AND ALMOST FOR SURE ILLEGAL. LETS WAKE UP TODAY AND PUT A STOP TO THIS IDIOCY.......................
