LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT!

March 27, 2009

Rail Relo NOW! needs your help with passage of a bill that promises to be critical to putting money into the Texas Rail Relocation and Improvement Fund.

 

On the morning of Monday, March 30, the Senate Transportation & Homeland Security Committee will conduct a hearing on Senate Bill 1923, sponsored by Sen. Kirk Watson, who is vice chairman of the committee. The hearing will held in Room E1.016 of the Capitol Extension in Austin.

What can you do?

Attend the March 30 hearing. The more people who show up in support of the bill--people from across the state--the more likely it is that the bill will be approved by the committee. We will be handing out stickers for you to wear in support of SB 1923. (Testimony on SB 1923 is expected to start at 10 a.m.) After 8 a.m. on Monday, March 30, fill out a card expressing your support for SB 1923. In Room E1.016, ask the committee clerk for one of these cards. We already have witnesses lined up to testify, so you can indicate on the card that you are merely showing your support and are not testifying. If you are unable to stop by the Capitol on Monday, send us an email of support for SB 1923 and we will make sure the Senate Transportation & Homeland Security Committee receives it. Visit with your local state senator or state representative (by phone, by email or in person) to urge support of SB 1923.
