Urge your Representative to pass a bonding bill that includes Northstar Commuter Rail. Funding this year for Northstar's construction would fulfill the state's commitment for construction of the project and allow the state to apply for federal funding.

Write a personal letter to your Representative. Some points you may want to include:

• Thanks for supporting the Northstar Commuter Rail project (if your Representative has supported the project in the past).
  
• The Minnesota Senate's passage of a bonding bill that includes Northstar now leaves the future of the project in the hands of the House of Representatives.
  
• Please support Northstar funding during the 2006 legislative session.
  
• It is critical that the project receive the remaining state funding commitment this session to gain the federal support needed for Northstar's construction.

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

Sincerely,
