Save Our Trains Michigan
Conductor
Once again, the Bush Administration is trying to cut much needed funding from Amtrak. Their 2007 budget request of $900 million for Amtrak--while an improvement over last year’s zero funding--would still result in the elimination of all Amtrak service. Besides the fact that the capital budget is cut nearly in half, operating funds are for all intents and purposes eliminated.
Please ask your Representative to reject this cut and instead support Amtrak's request for $1.8 billion so that they can continue to safely run trains nationwide.
Passenger rail ridership has grown every year since September 11, 2001 because it provides Americans a travel choice that reduces our dependency on foreign oil, mitigates congestion in urban areas, and provides badly-needed transportation in rural regions.
