Moratorium to be attached to another bill!
Urgent calls /emails needed!

The next 24 hours is our most critical time for getting the private toll contract moratorium bills to the floor for a vote. The CDA moratorium language will be attached as a friendly amendment to Wayne Smith's bill HB1892 in order to bypass House Transportation Chairman Mike Krusee.

Perry, TxDOT, Krusee, et al, are using many strong arming tactics to get legislators to withdraw their support. Therefore, we want to flood the offices of our supporters and foes with phone calls that simply say:

"I support the two-year moratorium on private toll road agreements without exception. Please vote to support HB 1892 and the moratorium amendment to it."

Urgent Action Alert:
1. Send this email to your friends, family and contacts throughout the state.
2. Call your legislator today and Tuesday Morning!!! -- With the message in red above. Many offices are closed Monday, but continue to call, leave messages, and try to get a live representative today and/or tomorrow!
3. Please make calls today, through tomorrow.

Below is the link to the CorridorWatch.org scorecard of the reps for and against the moratorium:
