Suggested message points to consider when drafting your correspondence:

Please stand up for my community and help protect us from the proposed DM&E coal train project. This project cannot be allowed to go forward as it currently exists.
DM&E’s proposed upgrade and expansion would bring dramatic change to our community – as many as 50 trains a day; speeds up to 60 mph; unlimited shipments of poisonous, explosive, flammable and other hazardous materials. DM&E’s plans pose threats to people and businesses in our community.
For more than 20 years, DM&E has had one of the nation’s worst safety records. The project poses a serious threat to public safety and the economic vitality of all cities along its line.

Tens of thousands of taxpayers joined forces to oppose giving a $2.33 billion federal loan to DM&E, a small company with big political connections, and in February 2007 the Federal Railroad Administration rejected DM&E's application, echoing our position in labeling the loan an "unacceptably high risk to federal taxpayers."

DM&E's ambitions have not changed, and informed citizens remain concerned about multiple aspects of the company's rail construction plans. What can you do?
