user-gravatar Headshot

The U.S. Senate has resumed debate on the Highway Reauthorization Bill (H.R. 3) and U.S. Senators Hutchison (R-TX) and Nelson (D-NE) will offer their amendment to prevent tolls on existing lanes of the Interstate highways. The Senate could vote on this amendment as early as this afternoon (5/10). So far several thousand letters have been sent and phone calls have been made to U.S. Senators. We need your help in the following states: CA, CO, DE, GA, FL, HI, ID, IN, IL, KS, KY, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, NH, NJ, NM, NV, OH, OR, PA, RI, SD, TN, UT, WA, WI, WV. One or both U.S. Senators in these states have NOT made a decision on supporting the Hutchison (R-TX) – Nelson (D-NE) Amendment to H.R. 3: Prevent tolls on existing Interstate highways.

You can help by contacting your U.S. Senator and ask them to SUPPORT the Hutchison – Nelson Amendment to H.R. 3: Prevent tolls on existing Interstate highways. Also call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or write. A sample letter is available at this Web address: https://capwiz.com/ata/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=7532296. In addition, we are asking that you have all of your management team call and write their U.S. Senators as well. Your U.S. Senators must hear from you.

WHY SUPPORT THE AMENDMENT?
