Readers:

I wanted to make sure you saw this note from Ken.

EWG's research has found pollution from cancer-causing chromium-6 in drinking water in 31 of 35 cities. As a direct result of this research, Senators Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., have introduced Senate Bill 79, the Protecting Pregnant Women and Children from Hexavalent Chromium Act of 2011.

The Protecting Pregnant Women and Children from Hexavalent Chromium Act of 2011 will require the Environmental Protection Agency to set a safe legal limit on chromium-6 in drinking water within a year. We need to build support for the bill by convincing as many other senators as possible to sign on as co-sponsors.

Your senators listen to you -- their constituent. You can help by sending an email today. It will only take a minute or two of your time.

Now is the time to take action -- momentum is on our side!

Thank you,
