Greetings,

Yesterday, legislators returned to the State Capitol to start the 2006 legislative session. The bonding bill, which is expected to include funding for construction of Northstar Commuter Rail, will likely be a primary focus of discussion. This is a critical session for Northstar.

Join other supporters and transportation advocates in showing support for Northstar during a rally at the State Capitol on Monday, March 13.  A bus will be available for residents in the St. Cloud area.

Rally at the Capitol

8 AM - Leave St. Cloud (The bus pick-up location will be determined in the next few days.  All registrants will be sent an e-mail announcing the location next week.)
10 AM - Arrive Capitol Rotunda for Transportation Rally
11 AM - Meet with legislators
1:30 PM - Depart St. Paul
3 PM - Return to St. Cloud

Let us know if you can attend here: http://ga3.org/northstar/events/rally_stc/details.tcl?member_key=nar5bbmm7&

A strong turnout will let legislators know that securing this next piece of funding for Northstar is important to get the commuter train operating in 2009.

Contact your legislators and urge them to support Northstar funding: http://ga3.org/campaign/ontrack/nar5bbmm7?

Your involvement will help show legislators that Minnesotans want this viable transportation alternative.  For more information, call 763-323-5700 Thank you!
