That being said... Stay involved in the local community, start a fund raiser, contact your DNR, get a grant for trail building and maintenance. Promote responsible advocacy groups, write a letter to the editor. I'm sure there's a safety angle to this that some legal whiz can spin... The feds, so far removed from reality, will do their own thing, promoting their special interest groups. Address them come election time- and that means at the community level, too.

Have fun, commute, get in shape. Americans are getting fatter and lazier. That is undeniable. The SAT scores were the lowest in 07 than ever. It will not be long before foreign interest own us. You can thank B00Shizlers like this woman and her ilk. But hey you cares as long as you get yours. Right? I would think that this would be a great way to tackle the collapse of this country.

I find it a little simplistic to call it pork when less than 1% of my states federal alocated transportation budget goes toward these projects. It's a hard strech to put a program that gets used a hell of alot more and gets people out of there cars in the same catagory as the "bridge to nowhere".The "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska would fund the my state's "enhancement" budget for 70 years!

I've seen the speech Patrick McHenry gave in Congress. This seems to be a standard GOP memo right now to attack sensible transportation as “Pork”.
