URGENT: ALL TX BICYCLISTS PLEASE READ AND ACT UPON !!!

Dear fellow Texas Cyclist,

Call Senator Todd Staples, R-Palestine, and urge him to vote for SB
859.

Not since the threat to ban cyclists from all FM roads has there been a
greater need for action.

Senator Todd Staples, R-Palestine, has repeatedly delayed and
obstructed SB 859. Despite the leadership of Senator Ellis, D-Houston,
and Senator Deuell, R-Rockwall, Senator Staples, is making it very
difficult to get past the Senate floor.

The Safe Passing Bill will save lives. It would require motorists to
pass cyclists at a minimum of three feet. 20 Texan cyclists a year who
are obeying all laws are hit from behind by negligent and reckless
drivers. To read more about the bill go to the BikeTexas Legislative
page: http://biketexas.org/lege/lege_home.html

Email or call Sen. Staples' office and express the importance of his
support for SB 859. (512) 463-0103

Email or call your Senator. If you don't know who your Senator is, you
can find out at http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/fyi/fyi.htm.

Tell your friends! We need to act quickly on this!

Thanks!!!
