H.R.1380 New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions Act of 2011
I am writing as your constituent in the 4th Congressional district of California. I support H.R.1380 - New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions Act of 2011, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.

I wrote you in May, 2011, asking for your support for this bill as well as for the Pickens Plan. Unfortunately, I received only a generic reply.

Sure, George Soros would benefit from the passage of this bill. T. Boone Pickens would benefit. YOU would benefit, I would benefit and the people of the United States would benefit.

It is ESSENTIAL that we discontinue our dependence on oil which comes from our enemies. The use of natural gas to power most of our transportation assets in the US would go a very long way toward making the US more energy independent.

I STRONGLY URGE YOU to COSPONSOR H.R. 1380. I hope to be able to make this point with you during your next townhall phone call.

Sincerely,
James Donovan

Note to Congressional staff & elected officials reading this: this letter was sent through Contact-Congress features on OpenCongress.org, a free public resource website, but in the future we seek to compel the U.S. Congress to adopt fully open technology for constituent communications. For more information how your office can better handle public feedback through an open API and open standards, contact us -- even today, there are significantly more efficient and responsive ways for our elected officials to receive email feedback than the status quo of individual webforms. For greater public accountability in government, we must make the process of writing one's members of Congress more accessible and empowering. Looking ahead, we will release more data from Contact-Congress letters and Congressional response rates back into the public commons. This will result in a new open data source on bills & issues people care about, as well as encourage best practices in constituent communications and make it possible to grade members of Congress on their responsiveness & citizen satisfaction.
