<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; MARGIN: 15px" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 15px;">Julie,</P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; MARGIN: 15px" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 15px;">We need you to call your U.S. Representative immediately to help stop public transit from being eliminated from the Highway Trust Fund.</P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 15px" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center; margin: 15px;"><STRONG><EM>Call (888) 443-5862 TODAY to speak with your Representative’s office!</EM></STRONG></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; MARGIN: 15px" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 15px;">We are so close to getting multi-year funding for public transit passed by Congress, but we have just run into a potentially disastrous hurdle.</P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; MARGIN: 15px" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 15px;">A few members of Congress are trying to amend the new Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Act so that public transit will no longer be included in the Highway Trust Fund.</P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; MARGIN: 15px" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 15px;">What does this mean? <STRONG>If these amendments pass, it means public transit will not receive federal funding.</STRONG></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; MARGIN: 15px" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 15px;">This is a worst-case scenario, and we only have a few hours to keep it from coming to pass. Your Representative needs to hear from you ASAP.</P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN: 15px" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left; margin: 15px;"><STRONG>Now is our chance to tell them: Make sure public transportation is funded at least as much as outlined in the Senate version of the bill.</STRONG> We have to make it clear to Congress that America wants increased funding for public transit.</P>
