From the League of American Bicyclists:
The League is currently hosting the 2014 National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C. — uniting the voices of bicyclists on Capitol Hill.
Maybe you’re here in D.C. with us. Maybe you weren’t able to make it — but you still want to be involved. Either way, make sure Congress hears bicyclists’ voices loud and clear today.
If you’re here at the Summit, we appreciate the time and energy you’re putting into Lobby Day today. For those of you at home, we want to make sure you’re in on the fun. Tweet your members of Congress and let them know that, just because you can’t be in Washington, doesn’t mean you don’t care about bicycling.
Find your elected officials’ Twitter handles at www.tweetcongress.org, and tell them to co-sponsor these important bills that increase the safety and equity of bicycling.
Here is the official “ask” tweet you can use:
.[@MemberX] Please co-sponsor these bills for bicycling https://bit.ly/1i63UyJ #nbs14
(Don’t forget the period at the start, if you want the public to see. Without it, only your member will see the message.)
It may feel like one tweet to you, but it makes a big difference. Thank you for your help!
