[NARP] needs you to reach out to your Representative and tell them to vote “NO” on these amendments to H.R. 3354:
- Amendment #33. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL): Ends Amtrak's National Network through the elimination of $1.1 billion in grant funding.
- Amendment #32. Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) [Ellison (MN), Williams (TX), Mitchell (MI)]: Eliminates a $900 million allocation for the upgrade of an Amtrak rail line between Newark and New York City by increasing funding for national New Starts Projects by $400 million and applying savings from the elimination of the TIGER Grant program to deficit reduction.
