[QUOTE]Originally posted by palmland: [QB] My congressman is John Spratt (D-SC) and he was re-elected last night and is assistant to the Nancy Pelosi and is thought to hold a senior position in her new reign as majority leader in the House. He is also ranking democrat on the House Budget Committee and presumably will be Chairman now. In response to a letter I wrote him last year, he replied that "I have signed a letter advocating full funding for Amtrak at $2 Billion a year and will contiue to push for as close to this funding level as possible...". Also "Rest assured that I will continue to be an active supporter of Amtrak in the coming years and that I will do whatever I can to maintain a vibrant passenger rail system in this country." While my politics are generally to the right of Mr. Spratt, I did get a chance to meet him in Washington and I believe he sincere and a career politician in the best sense of the word. So I think the election will certainly make it easier for him to help Amtrak. [/QB][/QUOTE]
