				  Action Alert
				  ------------
	Legislature  poised  to  make  decisions  about  bicycling  in

				Massachusetts, USA

	Your call or letter urgently needed to support bicycling!

	Legislative hearings in the next few days...
	Decisions in the next few weeks...
	Now is the time to act!

	State legislators are very receptive to calls/letters from
	constituents. It really makes a difference!

	Here's what to do:
	Get the names of your state representative and senator from your
	city/town hall, or the State Elections Division, @617-727-2828.

	Get phone numbers (if still needed) for your legislators from the
	State House info line @617-722-2000. Or write your rep/senator at
	State House, Boston, MA 02133

	Call both your state rep & senator. Say that you're a constituent
	and ask to speak with the legislator, or an aide. All you need to
	do is urge them to support bicycling, and tell them why you think
	it is important. If you want to, say more...

	Urge them to support bicycling on roadways as well as on separate
	paths, via *proposed* amendments to the state transportation bond
	issue (*this is critical*). Ask them to support *bicycle related*
	bills filed by Reps. Cohen, Gardner and Gray. If they're positive,
	ask them to convey their support to:

	The Committees on Ways and Means (bond issue amendments)
	Public Safety (program office, H.5032)
	Taxation      (program fund,   H.4816)

	For info call:
	BABC 617-491-RIDE,  Andy Rubel 868-8948,  Bill Taylor 983-9463
