            Dear Friend of MORE²:

            Last week, 70 women, including a delegation from MORE², convened 
for Ntosake (a powerful training for women presented by the Gamaliel 
Foundation). After the training, 12 women descended upon Washington DC to meet 
with staff of ALL THE Members of House of Representatives (including Rep. Yoder 
(KS) and Rep. Cleaver (MO)) to discuss why mass public transit matters to us.  

            On Friday, February 3rd, the House Committee on Ways and Means is 
scheduled to mark up 
            H.R. 3864 the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Financing Act 
of 2012.  This Ways and Means legislation threatens to undermine three decades 
of successful investments in mass public 
            transit - originally started under President Ronald Reagan -- by 
ending the guarantee for 
            dedicated funding for public transportation that helps states and 
local communities 
            advance critical transportation projects.  

              H.R. 3864 would terminate all dedicated revenues - 2.86 cents per 
gallon of the 18.4 federal gasoline tax - that have been dedicated to mass 
transit since the Reagan Administration [under the vision of the Reagan 
Administration, this started out at 1 cent and it was intended that this amount 
would increase over time]

            Call your member of congress today:

            Missourians: Rep. Cleaver (202) 225-4535 or Rep. Graves (202) 
225-5211

            Kansans:  Rep. Yoder (202) 225-2865

                a.. Tell them that you are aware that H.R. 3864 proposes to 
terminate all federal funding for public transit. 
                b.. Tell them that you support funding for public transit as an 
issue of equity and fairness. 
                c.. Ask them to do what they can to make sure that H.R. 3864 
restores funding for public transit.  
           

      Let us know you acted!  lim-lampe@xxxxxxxxx
