Commuter Rail Is NOT The Answer!
No
Mica Pork for CSX
Orlando,
FL
STOP THE CONGRESSMAN JOHN
MICA - CSX - CFL PORK TRAIN NOW!!!
Anyone with a brain knows that this CFL commuter rail mega
public works project (billion dollar boondoggle) is a Congressman
John Mica scam to give money to his friends at CSX - free
tracks for CSX - paid for by taxpayers.
All taxpayers should be outraged about this rail scam. Contact
Congressman Mica and tell him to 1) fix the collapsing Interstate
highway first - remember Minnesota?? and 2) Stop selling the
Interstate highway system in order to fund a private corporations
such as CSX (and Bombardier).
I have said it before....just watch, Congressman Mica will
end up being a lobbyist for CSX and/or other transportation
corporations. My guess...he has already been offered a multi-million
dollar job!!!
Check out www.tollscreategridlock.org for more information
on transportation, wreckless growth management and corruption
by elected "servants".
Voters need to demand change now!!
Can you guess who wrote this??
Hint....NOT Alan Keen and/or the crooks of the OOCEA!

We will need wider highways to get the spawl livers to get to
work 20 miles away. Build up downtown and alternate modes of
transport form existing neighborhoods. Stop developing green
sites, where their are no jobs or shopping!"
Sorry to have to tell you this, but it sounds like you have
been mislead. In case you have never not heard the Mica CSX
Pork story.....CFL needs rail so that those who live in Volusia
country can work in Osceola county without driving on I-4. How
do you like that for "urban sprawl"?? My thoughts.....why should
all taxpayers pay to commute people from Daytona to Disney?
If you want to live in Daytona and work in Orlando or Kissimmee,
then go ahead, but don't ask the taxpayers to pay for it!!!
Not to mention, 99.999999% of these commuters will never use
the CFL rail. Additionally....you can be sure Mica will never
use this rail system - except for a photo opp.
Let's be honest about Mica's goal. It is not to improve transportation
in CFL. Have you asked Congressman Mica about the Feds decision
to sell our Interstate infrastructure to Cintra-a-non-American
corporation? This is related to the new "North American Union"
that George Bush created in 2005 via the "Security Prosperity
Partnership of North America". Furthermore...the Texas Super
Highway is part of this "master plan".
Have you asked Congressman Mica any of these questions? I have
and he won't answer. I wonder why?
So remind me again who Congressman Mica represents? There is
no way he represents me or the people of Florida. He is just
going for the pork and he does not care who or what he destroys
along the way.
Sorry to have to break this news to you, but face it, Mica just
wants the money for his friends and his new career as a lobbyist.

Search for the Holy Rail
Rail transit systems all over the country are losing riders
and hemorrhaging money, yet city governments keep building them.”

“IMAGINE THIS SCENARIO: The CEO of a large corporation calls
a meeting of the board of directors to deal with a crisis: The
business is losing four dollars for every dollar earned, much
of the capacity goes unused, and the customer base, never large
to begin with, is eroding at an alarming rate. The board huddles
and after a lengthy session the solution emerges: Expand.” Report
Card for Sound Transit “As reported below, Sound Transit has
revised the Plan considerably since 1996. Without apology or
explanation, the agency has ceased to make comparisons between
ongoing performance and the original commitments made to voters.
Costs have gone up, ridership results are much lower than planned
in 1996, and the schedule for completion has slipped.”Click

Light Rail: The Crooked, The Ignorant, and The Truthful

THE DOLLAR AND THE GUN AND THE IGNORANT
“The price tag for the South Corridor alone is $371 million
and is but a fraction of the overall bill to construct Charlotte's
new mass transit system, which will have spokes running from
downtown to five different points on the perimeter of the city's
sprawling development. Current cost estimates for the entire
project range as high as $6 billion”.

Light Rail Propaganda
October 25, 2005
Can you say, "Propaganda"?
“I would love to see the market studies on this. "Young professionals"
in 20 years? Who did they interview? Four year olds? "Yes, I
want to ride on the train, Mommy."”
“Seriously, there is no basis in reality of people demanding
light rail and wanting to live in "transit villages". I regularly
see San Jose, California's all but empty light rail system.
Even during rush hour it is at best half-full. And the San Jose
downtown is almost a ghost town. "Rush hour" is a 15-minute
flurry of cars. No one wants to live in uptown and light rail
has done nothing to increase it.”

Feds
say 'No Thanks' to invite to join $5 billion Dulles Rail Boondoggle
Posted Thu, 2008-01-24 14:24
"The Feds have turned down the request
from Virginia politicians for financial support for the controversial
$5 billion Dulles Rail project proposed for the median of the
Dulles Toll Road and Dulles Greenway. US Secretary of Transportation
Mary Peters told the Virginia governor Timothy Kaine and other
northern Virginia politicians today in a meeting on Capitol
Hill today. The thumbs down was formally announced in a four
page letter to Gov Kaine by the head of the Federal Transit
Administration James S Simpson."
