Yes on 1A - California High Speed Trains! Yes on 1A - Californians for High Speed Trains matt@campaignadvantagebuildingcommunities.com Please Support California High Speed Trains in November! Vote yes on Proposition 1A !!!!! <br /> California needs a real solution for energy and transportation. High speed trains can be a critical part of the solution to both of those problems. <br /> Califonia&#39;s population is expected to grow by over 10 million people by 2030, and we have an important choice to make. <br />We can stay dependent on foreign oil, spend hours a week sitting in traffic, and spend billions every year on pollution-creating highway expansion. <br />Or, we can put California on the right track for the future with High Speed Trains. The trains will: <strong><ul><li>Take travelers from San Francisco to L.A. in 2 and a half hours, with stops in every major city in between</li> <li>Take 92 million car trips off of the road every year</li> <li>Reduce our dependence on foreign oil</li> <li>Make getting around the state faster and cheaper </li> <li>Reduce air pollution and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 12 billion pounds.</li></ul></strong> <br />High Speed Trains are more efficient than either air travel or car travel, and it&#39;ll cost us less to build High Speed Trains than the highway and airport expansion we&#39;ll need without them. <blockquote><strong>High Speed Trains will: <br /><li>Create 160,000 construction jobs</li> <li>Create 450,000 permanent new jobs once completed</li> <li>Create a new economic engine, diving commerce and tourism all over the state</li></strong></blockquote> <br />Opponents of High Speed Trains claim we can&#39;t afford the $9 billion bond to build the train, but they want taxpayers to spend as much as $25 billion on new highways. <br />They kept Californians from voting on High Speed Trains in 2004 and 2006, but this year, with gas prices at record levels, we can&#39;t afford to wait any longer. <br /><strong>Your contribution of $10, $25, or even $100 will help us get the word out and guarantee win in November.
