GoldenStateRail logoA couple of friends of mine just released a new website that promotes passage of a measure on the 2008 California bond to create a high speed rail network in California. There are a couple examples of decent rail systems in California such as BART and Amtrak’s Capitol Corridor, but otherwise the state is very dependent on inefficient, environmentally inferior, and/or slow means of transport - car and plane. Strive for green throws its full support behind establishing a high speed rail network in California!

Here is the email my friend Barret from Golden State Rail just sent out announcing their website:

“If you’re like me, you’re frustrated with highway traffic and fed up
with our poor Amtrack system. After discussing California’s
transportation problem amongst ourselves, me and friends discovered
that a High Speed Rail system has been proposed for California. The
bond to fund this project will be on the 2008 November ballot.

We’ve put together a website to inform and motivate public support for
this bond. All we ask is that you take two minutes to view our
website and to sign the form showing your support. ALSO, we do not
have a marketing budget. We are counting on our friends to email
their contacts and organizations about this movement.”
