Amtrak and NPR

Links for info on writing public officials about the current zeal for cutting all funding for everything the general public uses, specificallly (this time) Amtrak and Public Broadcasting. Remember how we stopped that Iraq war from happening?

Amtrak stuff: Amtrak form letter at IBEW and Save Amtrak. Honestly, the Save Amtrak page is one of the most poorly designed sites I've ever seen, so this link goes straight to an anchor tag with good links to writing folks.

Save Public Broadcasting at KPCC.org. Links through the Pasadena public radio station.
