Dear
Fellow Sierran
Here's what's in this week's edition of CoolCATs Weekly:
1) Time is Ticking on the Obama Administration, Make Them Act
2) The Governor's Idea Forum
3) Transportation Talk Radio
1) Time is Ticking on the Obama Administration, Make Them Act
|
Did you see this editorial in the New York Times about the need for Obama to set high fuel efficiency standards? In a similar vein, the RI Chapter has produced a youtube video for the Go 60 mpg campaign. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out here. Once you're all riled up, take action by calling on your local legislators to sign onto a support letter urging the President to be bold.
|
2) The Governor's Idea Forum
|
The countdown is even more pressing at the Statehouse as the legislative session winds down. By now, you've probably sent a letter to your legislators asking them to establish a complete streets council (if not, click on the take action buttons on the right of the page). Now, you can tell Governor Chafee that the complete streets council is a good idea by voting for it on his Idea Forum.

3) Transportation Talk Radio
|
Long time RI Sierra Club activist Barry Schiller and I went on Senator John Tassoni's talk radio show last week to talk transportation. Follow this link to listen in.
