I just recently received an email about House Congressional Resolution 305 (H.CON.RES.305). It asked that we contact your Senator on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) , and ask her to support Congressman Blumenauer's National Bike Bill (HR305).

House Congressional Resolution 305 (H.CON.RES. 305), dubbed the National Bike Bill sponsored by Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), which passed the House of Representatives on May 21, 2008, is scheduled to be considered by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, this Thursday, July 31, 2008, at 10am. Please take a moment to contact your Senator on the Committee to thank them in advance for their support of this resolution which recognizes the importance of bicycling in transportation and recreation. Calls are more effective than email.  Call 202-224-5922 and say "Please ask Senator Hutchison to support Congressman Blumenauer's National Bike Bill (HR305) when it goes before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.)

I called these 2 numbers: 1-20-224-5922 and 1-202-225-2401 (representative) to let them know of my support for the bill. (It's quick.) More info click on: http://thomas.loc.gov/ search under Bill text and then enter under search: h.con.res.305 for additional information. There are 4 versions: H. CON. RES. 305; HCON 305 RH; HCON 305 EH; and HCON 305 RFS.

I have attached a copy of all of them for your convenience. Or you can just make a quick call in support just call.

To know who your representative is go to www.house.gov and in the upper left hand corner, type in your zip code and the 4 extra numbers to search for your rep. (Mine is Michael McCaul, zip is 78759-3838) if that helps. My call was maybe a total of 5 minutes.
