RTC | Tell Congress: Protect Critical Funding for Trails! | Act Now

http://support.railstotrails.org/site/R?i=OjoGhg1C4iXnT_5WAldZ7w

Dear Robert,

When Congress returns in September, the very future of trails will be
at stake-in District of Columbia
and across the country.

That's why when lawmakers are at home during their summer
recess, they need to hear from you.

Take action now to urge Congress to defend the critical Transportation
Alternatives Program-the top federal funding source for trails,
walking and biking projects across the country.

It's been a whirlwind summer. In the weeks before Congress went
on vacation, we saw no fewer than three major attacks on funding for
trails, and walking and biking programs in the transportation bill.

Thanks to more than 13,000 people like you who have emailed and called
their elected officials over the summer, we were able to stop
them-so far. But while the Senate has already passed its version
of the bill, now it's up to the House of Representatives to pass
its own legislation-and both chambers will have to agree on a
final bill.

That's why we need your voice. Please write to your members of
Congress while they are at home and help defend critical funding for
trails.

Robert, the coming weeks will be a tough fight for
trails-and could determine their future for decades to come.
Several attacks to slash-or even eliminate-these critical
programs originated in the House of Representatives.

Please join thousands of trail lovers across the country to defend the
critical programs that make the trails that connect our communities
possible.
