[Mintwood-place] Take Action Against Ad Creep on Metro

[Adam Eidinger]

Dear Friends,

Are you riding the McDonalds train today?  Or maybe the your 
neighborhood stop has become "Haliburton Station"  or even "Heritage 
Foundation Station at Capitol South." Think it won't happen?  Think 
again. Our cash strapped Metro system refuses to make a strong case for 
increased funding from local governments and is instead giving into 
Corporate sponsorship to raise funds.  Once this get going, the distinct 
look of our Metro will be lost forever to mass marketing.  The Nation's 
Capital deserves better.  We already have one of the best Metro systems 
in the country. Don't let marketers turn it into giant glossy magazine 
ad that benefits mega corporate interests.  There are surpluses in 
regional government coffers to fund metro.  A new study shows DC has the 
third worst traffic congestion in the nation, but local political 
leaders are sitting on there hands.  Metro needs expansion and 
infrastructure improvements.  Tell Metro: Corporate sponsorship isn't 
the solution.
