i was sent this e-mail by aDC environmental group. Ross WASHINGTON, DC CLEAN-FUEL BUSES Last week we asked those of you living in Washington, DC to support Metro's clean natural gas bus program. Although you sent more than 150 messages to Mayor Williams and his environmental advisor urging them to help ensure the purchase of 200 new natural gas buses and construction of a new natural gas fueling station in Rockville, Maryland, on June 17th the Metro board voted instead to buy 117 more dirty diesel buses and 100 experimental diesel-electric hybrids, and to put the clean bus program on hold. The good news is that the new buses are included in the fiscal year 2006 budget, giving us some time to pressure the board to reverse its decision before any new buses are actually purchased. Thanks to those Washingtonians who took action; we'll let you know when we need you to weigh in again on this issue. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but also treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
