I believe this week, the Senate Subcommitee on transportation will be marking up the Amtrak issue. I'm confident, because there are numerous Amtrak supporters on this commitee, including a few Republicans, such as Hutchison, Burns, and Lott. I know Kerry, Dorgan, and I think Edwards are also supporting Amtrak. Below is a list of of the subcommitee. If yours is on here, give them a call this week, and next!

John Breaux, Louisiana, Chairman
Daniel K. Inouye, Hawaii
John D. Rockefeller IV, West Virginia
John F. Kerry, Massachusetts
Byron L. Dorgan, North Dakota
Ron Wyden, Oregon
Max Cleland, Georgia
Barbara Boxer, California
Jean Carnahan, Missouri
John Edwards, North Carolina
Republicans
