Lake Michigan
CHICAGO, IL - MAY 20: U.S. President Barack Obama (L) points to Lake Michigan as he leads NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the rest of the world leaders as they walk under the Soldier Field colonnades to the family photo during the NATO Summit on May 20, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. As sixty heads of state converge for the two day summit that will address the situation in Afghanistan, among other global defense issues, thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets to protest.

Just three years ago, a small Tennessee town was flooded with more than a billion gallons of coal ash. Last October a 25,000-ton coal ash landslide collapsed on the shore of Lake Michigan ... Congress seems to have forgotten the real threat that coal ash poses to nearby communities. Water is contaminated, dams are aging, and lives are in danger. Rather than pass a transportation bill that provides American jobs, the House passed one that threatens American communities. That is unacceptable. Congress must allow the EPA to protect human health.
People aren't asking about Asian carp because they're worried about their chinook salmon fishery ... But I guarantee you, if Asian carp were in Lake Michigan, they'd be asking about it.More quotes »
