<P>We just dealt a massive blow to Nestlé’s water sucking ways in
Michigan -- and <STRONG>we literally couldn’t have done it without
SumOfUs members like you.</STRONG></P>
<P>On Tuesday, <STRONG>a court overturned a decision that would have
forced the Michigan township of Osceola to issue a permit to Nestlé
to build a massive water pumping station.</STRONG> This is a huge
win for Michiganders who are against Nestlé’s attempt to suck the
state dry, all to bottle water for profits.</P>
<P><STRONG>This legal decision couldn’t have happened without
SumOfUs members like you, </STRONG>who banded together
to <STRONG>chip in over $50,000 to pay for the legal and
administrative fees for the legal challenge.</STRONG></P>
<P>Not only that, you saved a township from bankruptcy.
<STRONG>Osceola Township, with a population of 2,000, was running
out of options to pay to fight back against Nestlé’s water sucking
ways.</STRONG> Until you came in.</P>
<P>For over three years, generous<STRONG> SumOfUs members from
around the world have chipped in to the fight against Nestlé’s
attempt to increase its water intake in Michigan. </STRONG>Over
375,000 SumOfUs members around the world, and tens of thousands of
Michiganders, have time and time again taken action against Nestle's
water sucking ways in Michigan. <STRONG><BR></STRONG></P>
<P>You've also fought back against water giants taking water in
France, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand -- and won.</P>
<P><STRONG>We keep winning against billion-dollar corporations like
Nestlé because generous SumOfUs members like you show us their
continued support so we can do the work we do.</STRONG></P>

you consider joining the team of our amazing monthly donors to keep
our battles against Nestlé alive?</A></P>
<P>Tuesday night, right after we heard about this victory against
Nestlé, we got this note from the Martin, the Treasurer of Osceola
Township:</P>
<P style="PADDING-LEFT: 30px">"Today, we celebrate with each and
every one of SumOfUs members with the Michigan Court of Appeals
judgment in favor of Osceola Township vs Nestlé Waters North America
Inc. We thank you for your past support against corporate giants
like Nestlé. This is the third year in a row that SumOfUs members
have stepped in to help the Osceola Township fight back against
Nestle Waters North America Inc. Combined, you have chipped in more
than $50,000 to help in the legal fight – helping the township stay
afloat when we were facing bankruptcy. This year, you have chipped
in tens of thousands of dollars more. This court victory couldn’t
have happened without SumOfUs and its members." </P>
<P>Getting thank you notes like this that I can pass along to
SumOfUs members like you is my favourite part of the job. We can
only achieve these massive victories thanks to your generosity.</P>
<P>Over and over again, <STRONG>SumOfUs has dealt massive blows to
Nestlé around the world -- </STRONG>pushing for water legislation in
British Columbia, Canada, winning against its French brand Vittel,
and stopping Nestlé in its tracks in Cascade Locks, Oregon.</P>
<P>And it’s not just Nestlé. <STRONG>We won huge against massive
beverage maker Asahi-Schweppes' </STRONG>attempts to suck Stanley,
Australia dry. And we helped stop a creepy unknown water corporation
from taking water from drought-stricken Canterbury Plains in New
Zealand.</P>
<P>We were able to continuously fight back against billion-dollar
corporations like Nestlé around the world because of our generous
monthly donors. </P>
