I just recieved this email:

On Monday, June 7, the Senate Environment and Assembly
Appropriations Committees approved the Highlands Water
Protection and Planning Act. We are now only full Senate and
Assembly approvals from passing the most important piece of New
Jersey environmental legislation in 25 years. Senate and
Assembly votes are scheduled for this Thursday, June 10, so it
is critical that we spend the next three days urging legislators
to support the bill!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

We're Almost There!

In addition to sending an e-mail to your legislators and
leadership, please CALL your legislators TODAY or TOMORROW.

Call Your Legislators and Tell Them:

* The Highlands provide drinking water for more than half of New
Jersey's residents;

* Without state legislation, that drinking water will be
degraded by sprawl;

* Urge them to be 1 of the first 21 Senators and 41 Assembly
members to vote yes on S1/A2635 without amendment on Thursday to
protect over half the state's drinking water.

Come to Trenton on June 10 for a Lobby Day.

We will be scheduling meetings with key legislators, and it is
critical that we have constituents and representatives of
grassroots organizations at these meetings. We will be convening
at 8:30 a.m. in Committee Room 16 on the Fourth Floor of the
State House Annex, and you should plan on spending the entire
day at the State House if possible. Please R.S.V.P. directly to
Kelly.McNicholas@SierraClub.org or (609) 656-7612.

PLEASE include what legislative district you live in (1-40). (If
you don't know, send your zip code, and we'll find out by
checking http://sierraactivist.org/contactofficials.php - or
check yourself!)

Call the Assembly Leadership, thank them for posting the bill
for a vote on Thursday and urge them to support passage of
A-2635 without amendment (you should note that the Highlands
provide drinking water to residents in 35 of the state's 40
legislative districts, including Districts 5 and 33)

* Speaker Albio Sires, District 33 (Part of Hudson County):
(201) 854-0900

* Majority Leader Joseph Roberts, District 5 (Parts of Camden
and Gloucester Counties): (856) 742-7600
