Please  take about 5 minutes to send a message your state Senator on this legislator.  Click on the
link in #1 below to find your senator.  I sent an email message even thought the instructions say it
is not the preferred method of communication (I have had good results in the past with emails). 
Your decision.
Regards,
Bart C.

Subject: Action Alert from California Bicycle Coalition


ACTION ALERT
July 31, 2008     

URGENT ACTION NEEDED
Contact your State Senator today about AB 1358
After nearly a year of procedural delays, Assembly Bill 1358, the Complete Streets Act, is scheduled
to be heard by the full Senate next week, the last stop before reaching Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's
desk.
 
Sponsored by the California Bicycle Coalition and AARP, this bill would require cities and counties
to design roadways that safely accommodate all those who use them, including bicyclists,
pedestrians, transit riders, children, the elderly and the handicapped, as well as motorists. Read
more about AB 1358.
 
Following the instructions below, please send your State Senator a "floor alert" urging a YES vote
on this important bill.
 
Fax or mail your alert as soon as possible. Do not send it via email - it's not likely to get read. 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to write a floor alert for AB 1358 
 
1)  Go to your State Senator's website and find his or her State Capitol fax number and mailing
address.

2)  Address your alert this way:  
 
Honorable [your State Senator's full name]
State Capitol, Room [your State Senator's room number]
Sacramento, CA 95814
Fax: [your State Senator's fax number, if you're sending by fax]  
 
Senate Floor Alert  
Re: Support: AB 1358 (Leno)
 
3)  Using the text below as a model, briefly state in your own words why you are urging support for
AB 1358. 
 
I join the California Bicycle Coalition in urging you to vote YES for AB 1358, the Complete Streets
Act, because it will require cities and counties to design roadways that make bicycling and walking
safer, more feasible modes of transportation. As non-motorized transportation modes, bicycling and
walking can help solve a variety of the problems California faces: traffic congestion, poor air
quality, the threats from climate change, and worsening public health. It is imperative that roadway
design enables motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians to travel safely. AB 1358 will result in roads
that serve all users, not just motorists, as is now too often the case.
 
Thank you for supporting this landmark legislation to help make California cities more livable. 
 
Sincerely,
 
5)  Close with your signature and printed full name, mailing address, city, state, zip, phone number
(optional) and email address (optional).  
 
6)  Print, sign and fax or mail.
 
Thank you!
