The threatened water disruption in the shadow of our nation's Capitol highlights the result of our failure to care for our critical infrastructure. As with other critical infrastructure, Congress must act to prevent our nation from literally falling apart. In short, we must grow up and face the reality that we have a responsibility to care for the basics of America and that requires investment. If we do not find the will to build America, our nation will fall far behind other nations and more families and businesses will be threatened as they were today in Maryland.

The half-million members of LIUNA – the Laborers' International Union of North America – are on the forefront of the construction industry, a powerhouse of workers who are proud to build America.
