Just letting everyone know, I cast my vote for Ron Paul this morning.  Hope everyone in a Super Tuesday State will too.

Dear James ,

We are sending you this Special Bulletin because our records show that you are a CorridorWatch.org Member living outside the state of Texas.

Today CorridorWatch.org has members in 44 of 50 states and even a handful of members outside the United States.

Democratic presidential debate in Texas.

As you likely know Austin, Texas, hosted a presidential debate between the two democratic candidates for president last week. The nationally televised debate came in advance of important primary elections to be held in Texas and Ohio.

Trans Texas Corridor, a National issue.

CorridorWatch and other citizen groups believe that the Trans Texas Corridor (NAFTA Superhighway) issue is important far beyond the borders of Texas. One of those groups, Independent Texans, sought to have a question about the TTC included in the presidential debate. In doing so they launched a campaign with their members to lobby CNN, a debate sponsor, to ask the candidates about the TTC (NAFTA) superhighway.

CNN agrees to include TTC / NAFTA question.

By February 20, it was widely reported that CNN would include a question about the TTC NAFTA highway. A blog from the San Antonio Express-News transportation writer and other media outlets, including Austin radio stations, told Texans that the question would be asked. In fact CNN's Political Director Sam Feist had contacted her asked Independent Texans to stop their e-mail campaign with the assurance that the question had already been prepared.

One question, that's all that was requested.

Despite the enormous importance of the issue and the national impact the TTC will certainly have on America we were satisfied with a single question. That question would give Texans and the rest of the country a meaningful insight as to where these candidates stand on the issue of a NAFTA superhighway. A highway to be operated by foreign interests, that will use government power to take private land by force to facilitate the rapid movement of predominantly Chinese imports into America and thereby generate private profits on the use of public infrastructure.

CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight spotlights the TTC.

On Tuesday and Wednesday leading up to the Thursday night debate CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight show airs two solid segments on the Trans Texas Corridor. CNN reporter Bill Tucker discusses the issue with Lou Dobbs on his nationally televised CNN program. It appeared that the stage was set for answers to these questions by the Democratic candidates.

"Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire."

That's how Linda Curtis of Independent Texans reacted when CNN failed to ask the TTC NAFTA superhighway question they had assured her organization would be included in the debate. In an open letter to CNN's Political Director Sam Feist, Curtis said, "Texans want federal action and a Congressional investigation. You could have aided in this effort, but what you did was even worse. You made a promise, and then you let us down."

A CorridorWatch.org Call To Action.

Although CorridorWatch was not directly active in pressuring CNN to ask the TTC NAFTA highway question, we certainly supported the effort to do so. The TTC is a vitally important issue, not only to Texans, but all Americans. Working together with groups and organizations, such as Independent Texans, CorridorWatch is raising awareness and educating citizens about the TTC.

We have sent you, our non-Texas members, this Special Bulletin as a request that you help us demonstrate that the Trans Texas Corridor issue is bigger than Texas. Because you care, and because you are beyond Texas, we believe you can have a unique impact on CNN's coverage of this issue.

Please take two minutes to e-mail CNN.

You are in an unique position to elevate this to the national discussion, something that our Texas members would have a difficult time accomplishing. A quick e-mail to CNN Political Director Sam Feist expressing your interest, concern, or issues with the TTC NAFTA highway, together with your name, city and state, will help us demonstrate that the TTC is not a Texas only issue.

Drop Mr. Feist a quick note. It is our hope that he receives e-mail from the hundreds upon hundreds of CorridorWatch members that reside in the 43 states outside Texas. To be effective we need your help and your voice today.
