Since February I have sent may Congressman (Nugent from Florida) about Amtrak. I have received some nice well thought out replies. About two weeks go the Congressman's office even called me about something I said in one of the e-mails and wanted more input. Several days ago while watching C-SPAN, I thought a lot of time was being wasted doing nothing and I called his office and told them so. Well about an hour ago, my phone rang and it was the Congressman's office. Since I had called about wasting time they wanted to know what type issues I thought they should be taking up. I said infrastructure. Then they asked what type. I said rail and in particular Amtrak on the NEC. I pointed out about the $19B for the new tunnels, $1B for the Portal Bridge and $1.5B for the Baltimore tunnel.
If everyone on this forum started contacting their Representatives and Senators and flooding their offices with e-mails to let them know they need to support Amtrak we could get something done. Let them know if something doesn't you might not vote for them the next time. Matter of fact, I've started keeping very close eye on what Nugent supports and votes for. I'm yet to anything that he's done that directly affects his district. He may just have a Republican opponent next year in his primary.
