Controlling our movement is the goal - with $7 gas the means. They were on their way to achieving that when Carter was pres...fortunately, he got ousted in time to stop it. But they are going to go hell bent to pass every one of their Marxist plans before they lose this power they have now - they have been waiting for this level of power for decades. We stand and fight - we stand together or we fall apart.
They don’t even try to hide it.

In Policy Shift, Transportation Department Embraces Bikes
By LEORA BROYDO VESTEL
From our colleagues at Green Inc:
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has announced a “major policy revision” that aims to give bicycling and walking the same policy and economic consideration as driving.
“Today I want to announce a sea change,” he wrote on his blog last week. “This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of nonmotorized.”
The new policy, which was introduced a few days after Mr. LaHood gave a well-received speech from atop a table at the National Bike Summit, is said to reflect the Transportation Department’s support for the development of fully integrated transportation networks.
It calls on state and local governments to go beyond minimum planning and maintenance requirements to provide convenient and safe amenities for bikers and walkers. “Walking and biking should not be an afterthought in roadway design,” the policy states.
