Ask Your Representatives to Sign Bipartisan Letter in Support of Long-Term Highway Bill

Four House members from two committees most critical to the highway reauthorization are asking their colleagues to sign onto a letter to House leadership that expresses strong bipartisan commitment for addressing transportation needs by providing a long-term funding solution.  It is a bipartisan “Dear Colleague” letter that is now being circulated by Reps. Ribble (9R-Wisc.), Lipinski (D-Ill.), Reed (R-N.Y.) and Pascrell (D-N.J.) calling for an end to short-term extensions and a revenue source to support a long-term bill. The letter has been sent to all Republican and Democrat House offices requesting their support.  The letter will be sent to Speaker Boehner and Minority Leader Pelosi sometime next spring, demonstrating strong bipartisan support for this legislation.  We need your help in asking members of the House to sign the letter. Your support is vital to the success of this effort. Please visit Hardhats for Highways and send a message to your representative.
