Action Alert from Transportation for America:
Friday was a shocking day in the House of Representatives.
A House committee majority went ahead with their plan to punish
everyone who rides public transportation, as well as jeopardizing thousands
of jobs in the public transit, construction and manufacturing
industries.
In doing this, House leadership and a key committee ignored broad,
bipartisan opposition from across the country — from governors, state
transportation officials, health professionals, business organizations, and
from across the political spectrum — as well as thousands of messages
from voters in their districts.
With this incredible turn of events, this House
transportation bill has passed the tipping point, and unfortunately demands
our full opposition. Will you help us defeat it? Let your representative
know that this full transportation bill must not pass the House!
This bill:
House leaders are preparing to move this bill to the floor very
soon. It could be debated by House members as early as this week, and our
representatives need to hear from their voters.
We desperately need a new federal transportation bill, but
this proposal being advanced by the House is not it. Leaders in the House
need to come up with a better bill – one that helps build the 21st Century
transportation system America needs.
Thanks for your support,
Stephen Lee Davis
Deputy Communications Director Transportation for America
PS, stay tuned later this week — we’re
joining with other groups to coordinate a big national call-in day for Thursday,
February 9 to voice loud opposition to the House transportation bill.
