I mentioned that I was calling her while on a crowded BART train and that it might be loud and I might lose the call going under a tunnel but that it was the middle of the day and the train was full with people of all ages and backgrounds and that everyone of these people have chosen public transit over other forms of transportation and that we were all hoping she would support the Nadler amendment.

I heard about the Brown amendment from the Midwest High Speed Rail Association. I hadn't heard about the other (Hare) amendment. She said she would pass the message along to the congressman.
