Good news! -- The Senate earlier today passed the Roth Amendment. That was the sense of the Senate resolution stating that the Senate believes there ought to be a dedicated funding source for Amtrak, as outlined in S.1395. This is a big step forward toward actual passage of the Amtrak half cent. The vote was 57-43. Thanks to every one of you who contacted your Senators -- it really made a difference.
