Specifically, we asked you to tell your House members to kill HR-7 (the House version) and ask your Senator to support the Cardin-Cochran Amendment to the Senate bill. Read the<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bicyclealliance.blogspot.com\/2012\/02\/act-now-on-key-senate-and-house.html\"> alert<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">You responded! According to the League of American Bicyclists, members of Congress received 50,000 messages asking them to support biking and walking programs in the transportation bill. You made it clear that many Americans care about safe streets, Safe Routes to School, transit and trails. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Speaker of the House John Boehner, who is <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/grist.org\/politics\/boehners-last-stand-house-leader-wants-to-kill-transit-funding\/\">no friend<\/a><\/strong> to folks who bike, walk or use public transit, reacted to the outcry by delaying the vote on HR-7 until the week of February 27. The Senate will likely vote on the Cardin-Cochran amendment that same week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">If you were one of the thousands who responded to the call for action already, thank you!
