Take Action: Support a Smart Stimulus Bill
From the Environmental Defense Fund:
Congress is busy drafting an economic stimulus bill. The bill will include tens of billions of dollars in transportation investments, and hundreds of billions in other spending.
Saving and creating jobs is an urgent national priority. But there is a right way to do this and a wrong way.
We need to create jobs now by building the smarter, more efficient transportation and infrastructure system America will need in the 21st century, not throw money at “bridges to nowhere” projects that will set back our efforts to create long-term, environmentally sustainable growth.
Please send an email to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid urging them to support a smart stimulus package.
Send a letter supporting investment in sustainable transportation. →

Alan,
This really struck a chord with me. To put smart and congress in the same sentence is a huge stretch. Any entity that can give billions of our tax dollars to our banking institutions without any sort of safeguards or collateral….I am totally at loss for printable words.

All the more reason to try to have an influence if we can.
Sorry Alan, I broke my rule not to discuss politics and taxes. You are correct, we can all do our part.

It’s no problem John, I can certainly relate to your frustration.
Have you been riding much lately?
Not much Alan, way too cold! Going to be 0 for the next two days with the highs in the teens.
Trainer here I come!
I keep seeing the weather reports – it looks miserable back there. We have the opposite problem – the weather is beautiful, but if we don’t get some rain soon we’re going to have a real problem come summer.
Regards,
Alan
