Right now the U.S. Senate is considering an amendment to the economic recovery plan that would invest more resources to build America, creating an additional 655,000 badly needed transportation jobs.

Congress is considering a massive, $800 billion-plus economic recovery plan. With a 15.3-percent unemployment rate among the men and women who build America - equating to 1.4 million construction workers who are jobless - the investment is urgent. Senators Murray and Feinstein have proposed an amendment to include an additional $25 billion investment for roads and transit.

Tell your Senator now to invest more resources in building our transportation systems and our roads by amending the economic recovery plan.
