Senator DeMint (R-SC) has offered an amendment to SPECIFICALLY prohibit funding for bicycles, walking and offroad vehicles. The amendment ONLY goes after bicycle, walking, and offroad vehicle funding.
The Amendment has been offered but not introduced. We do not have a schedule for when this will be introduced and voted on, but we need to alert all Senators to urge them to vote against such amendments and ensure that funding for bicycle infrastructure remain eligible under the transportation funds provided in the stimulus package.
More info here.

Good for you, Senator DeMint. Walking is for gay anarcho-syndicalist elves and other haters of freedom. True patriots drive their SUVs out to the mailbox in the morning to get the mail and the paper. If brilliant political ideas were money, you, sir, would be "DeMint."
