After Thanksgiving, the Michigan legislature will be back in session for just two weeks or so before ending for the year. Called the Lame Duck session, it could mean big progress for the RTA!
As I’ve reported before, we’ve got a majority of the Michigan Senate committed to supporting the RTA once they finally get a chance to vote on it.
Senate Majority Leader Richardville may hold the vote their first day back – Nov 27. But vocal opponents and other issues could still distract, as they have before.
Please keep up the pressure! Help us get 1,000 calls to Leader Richardville!
Call Senate Leader Richardvilleat 517-373-3543 and tell him to schedule the vote!
-
Join with partners across the state for big call-in days every week on Nov 14, Nov 21, Nov 26 and Nov 28!
-
Or if you prefer, you can email Senators Richardville with our easy online action tool.
Got another minute or two to help?
- Call Sen. Meekoff too (toll-free 866-305-2130). He manages the Senate schedule, so urge him to put the RTA on the schedule!
- Senator Coleman Young who claims he supports transit may vote against the bill. Everyone in downtown, midtown and the east side of Detroit should give him a call too at 517-373-7346!
Plus keep the calls coming to all the Senators and House members, so they’re ready to pass the RTA!!
You can also help spread the word by downloading, printing, and distributing this factsheet / action alert / FAQ (pdf) to your friends and colleagues! This information and more is also available online.
And thanks!!
