An appropriate message to forward on National Bike to Work Day. But bicycle riding is not necessary to take some action on this.

Dear james,
It's okay. You can say it. "My commute sucks."
Feel a little better already, don't you?
There's more relief where that came from - at our new website, http://www.MyCommuteSucks.org.
Look, with see-sawing gas prices, crazy crowded streets, and noxious fumes - who would love their commute?
We're breaking out from the mold a bit on this one, we know. But we think it's worth it to give Americans all over the country - in big cities, small towns, and everything in between - a chance to let it all out and tell Congress exactly what we feel.
Visit our new website at http://www.MyCommuteSucks.org and tell Congress: "My commute sucks and it's not getting any better. Stop pouring billions into a broken system. Transportation shouldn't be an expensive, dirty burden. Fix it, clean it, make it work!"
At http://www.MyCommuteSucks.org, you can get in touch with Congress, vent your daily frustrations, upload photos and video, read and rate the stories of other troubled commuters, and learn more about how the transportation policy they cook up in Washington affects the lives of so many millions of people, whether they drive, ride, or walk their way to work, school, appointments, and life.
Letting it all out is the first step to changing the system...getting personal with Congress comes next. Rage against your ride, then help us turn the tide!
Sincerely,
Ilana Preuss Outreach and Field Director Transportation for America
P.S. You can let it all out while you're on the go, too. If you're a Twitter user, just include #mycommutesucks in your rage-filled tweets. We'll stream them live on our homepage!
