Blumenauer Calls for National Movement 

Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) <http://blumenauer.house.gov/>  inspired a large crowd at The Bike  <http://www.bikegallery.com/> Gallery in Portland, Ore. according to BikePortland.org <http://www.bikeportland.org> . "Blumenauer rallied the troops and spoke of the critical importance of a 'citizen infrastructure...the people who've decided that they're going to make a difference.' Blumenauer wants to, 'make the cycling community a powerful political force.' He said that if one million 'cycling fanatics' around the country could get together than it would have 'a transformational effect on politics.'"
