[Transportation for America <http://www.t4america.org/~info>]

Thanks for sending a message to the President urging him to address his plan to 
pay for the country's transportation investments! With the State of the Union 
one week away support for his encouragement is crucial. Use the links below to

The steep drop in gas prices offers the best opportunity in years to raise the 
revenue we need to rescue our transportation trust fund and build for the 
future. And, for the first time in recent memory, leaders in both parties are 
calling for a gas tax increase to avoid foisting monumental repair and 
construction bills on the next generation. 

President Obama is keenly aware of the needs. In just about every State of the 
Union address since he was elected, he has called for more robust investment to 
fix our aging network and build what we need to keep people, goods and our 
economy moving. But the Presidentâ??s proposals to fund his vision have been 
short on realistic funding options. And he has opposed raising the gas tax in a 
weak economy. Today, though, times are better and gas prices are sinking. 

This time, the President must use the Jan. 20 SOTU address to say how he would 
pay for the investments he knows are needed. 

Join me and send a message to the President urging his crucial support.
