Federal Safe Routes Program Under Attack	Take Action!
Urge Your Representative to Support Safe Routes To Schools
House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) has targeted the federal Safe Routes to School program established under the 2005 Federal Surface Transportation Bill (SAFETEA-LU) as wasteful government spending in his weekly "YouCut program". Each week representative Cantor asks people to vote for which of five options they would cut from the federal budget. Republicans then hold a floor vote in the House of Representatives to try to eliminate the program that gets the most votes. This week, the federal Safe Routes to School program is one of Rep. Cantor's targets. He argues that SRTS duplicates other bicycling and walking programs, and that bicycling and walking infrastructure is a local government responsibility. We need your help making sure that Members of Congress understand the value of Safe Routes to School and support it. Please take a few minutes to send a message to your Member of Congress to ask them to vote against any effort to cut Safe Routes to School. Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter.

Urban Omaha- the Ultimate Adventure!

A bit of shameless promotion for Activate Omaha here. :)

Our 2nd annual urban adventure race will be held on Saturday, June 5 this year. We'll be starting and finishing at Midtown Crossing!

What, you don't know what an urban adventure race is? Think "Amazing Race" tv show, or go check out one of the Alley Cat races that Mr.Douglas organizes from time to time. Your main mode of transporation is bicycle, but you'll also be running/trekking, paddling, climbing and doing various mystery team challenges as you try to located hidden checkpoints throughout the city.

Last year's event had about 450 racers, and with KMTV as a media sponsor this year, we expect particpation to be even greater!
