Thank You, Mr. President

This just in from the Midwest High Speed Rail Association...

"The Senate approved the stimulus package today.  The conference committee hopes to have a finished bill on the President's desk by Monday.

"But that isn't why this action alert is so important.  Earlier today, President Obama listed high-speed rail and transit as a high priority at a town hall meeting in Fort Meyers, FL.  This is really exciting.  It is the first time that a President has been so favorable to expanding transit.

"Any major shifts in transportation policy are going to be driven by the President's energy policies.  He made the connection between transportation and energy at Fort Myers today. We need to reinforce that connection by getting as many thank you messages to the President as possible.

"Please click here to send the thank you."

This is not surprising, since I heard the President say the same thing many months ago in a small group gathering.  It's nice, though, to hear him make it part of his sales pitch for the stimulus package.
