[...] The League of American Bicyclists sent out the following email blast to members like me who helped defeat yet another shameful attempt in the U.S. Senate to strip funding for bikeways and sidewalks. This one was led by Kentucky’s own Senator Rand Paul. The League would like to thank you for taking the time to contact your Senators in response to Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) amendment to divert Transportation Enhancement funds to bridge repairs.

I was very disappointed to see Sen. Portman, R-OH, vote with Rand. He’s a young, energetic fellow from my district who was tapped by Pres. Bush to move up when he was in the House. He took the 2nd OH Senate seat recently. I sent him a nastygram urging him to reconsider and to support projects that promote cycling and recognize theimportance of cycling in the national transportation policy.
