The text reads:

The “Dirty Chesapeake Bay Bills” (H.R. 4153 and H.R. 4337)
H.R. 4153, the “Chesapeake Bay Program Reauthorization and Improvement Act”, was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on March 8, 2012, by Congressman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia. It would remove the core Clean Water Act protections for all polluted streams, rivers, and tributaries in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and halt any progress made to stop pollution and recover the Chesapeake Bay.
H.R. 4337, the “Chesapeake Bay State and Local Backstop Limitation Act of 2012,” was introduced by Congressman Tom Reed and Congresswoman Kathy Hochul of New York. It attempts to remove accountability of the Chesapeake Bay States for not meeting state-established water quality standards under the Clean Water Act by limiting the ability of the federal government to exercise oversight of pollution sources and polluters that are destroying the Bay.
Please take a moment to let your representative know that these “Dirty Chesapeake Bay Bills” will not improve water quality in the Chesapeake Bay or the rivers and streams in your back yard that feed it.
