These are the guys who will determine the fate of high-speed rail funding in the US Congress over the next several months. The Democrats support Obama's $53 billion authorization for HSR. The Republicans oppose it. Whether you are a Democrat, Republican or whatever, you should oppose it for all the reasons we have been hammering on in this blog.
Remember, if you are emailing them, be sure to give them your home address if you are not in their congressional district. They obviously care more about their own constituents. But, HSR is a hot-button issue and if you have something brief and intelligent to say, please say it. (No snarky ranting, like I do on this blog!)
