URGE THE SENATE TO MATCH THE HOUSE’S $4 BILLION HIGH-SPEED RAIL APPROPRIATION

Right now, Congress is finalizing next year's transportation appropriations bill, which could include an historic investment in high-speed passenger rail.

Last month, the US House of Representatives passed a bill that included $4 billion for high-speed rail. The Senate cut the allocation down to $1.2 billion in their version, which passed last week. The two bills will now move to a conference committee, where they will decide the final amount of investment.

The conference committee will be meeting soon in hopes of finalizing the bill by the end of the month. We'd like to send them a roster of support by the end of the week, so we need sign-ons quickly.

Thank you for your support.

How we will use your information:

If you represent a company, city or other organization, we will add your organization's name to a list of supporters of spending $4 billion on high-speed rail in FY2010 that will be circulated to the members of the conference committee. We may call to confirm your information. You will also be added to our email alert systems, but will have the option to unsubscribe in future emails.

If you are an individual, we will forward this email to your Washington representatives. We will create an ongoing count of supporters that will be circulated. You will also be added to our email alert systems, but will have the option to unsubscribe in future emails.
