High Speed Boondoggle is a statewide grass roots movement to raise awareness using visual aids, including lawn signs and videos, in an effort to control the wayward high speed rail project by driving citizens to the legislators because it is the legislators that pull the purse strings. They have a website here and a facebook fan page here. The website contains easy cut and paste forms with the critical legislators' e-mail addresses. The Facebook fan page will be used much like a petition to show the legislators how many people are not happy. In addition to these sites, you may request lawn signs by e-mailing them at the address on the website.
After over a year of frustration in trying to work with the High Speed Rail Authority to no avail, in a show of our own "vote of no confidence", HSR-PREP has decided to take a less neutral approach. In an effort to get citizens' concerns heard, we now support this very visual grassroots effort to drive people people to the legislators and to further raise awareness. We ask that you use the above sites as they are intended to drive the legislators to stop playing all sides and finally acknowledge the lengthy list of state recognized issues, and take action to correct things.
