Oppose HR 7 - Make a phone call

 
The House transportation bill would eliminate dedicated funding for public transportation, eliminate the tiny amount of funding that helps make dangerous streets and roads safer for children and others on foot or bike, and fail to go far enough to fix our bridges and roads or provide people more options for getting around. With the House planning to vote on this bill any day now, we need to send a message loud and clear that the House must scrap this bad bill and start over.

Please Call Congressman Connie Mack tomorrow on 202-225-2536. You can leave this message below with whomever answers the phone, or you can ask to speak to the legislative associate who handles transportation and leave the message.
After you’re done, click here to report your call to Transportation for America . (This only sends a message to them.)
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I live in [PLACE]. I’m calling to ask Representative Mack to vote “NO” on H.R. 7, the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act. This bill would eliminate dedicated funding for public transportation, eliminate the tiny amount of funding that helps make dangerous streets and roads safer for children and others on foot or bike, and fail to do enough to fix our bridges and roads or provide people more options for getting around. We desperately do need a new federal transportation bill, but this proposal being advanced by the House is not it.
Thank you for your time.
