Reconnect America with Solutionary Rails
I have been a reader of Daily Kos for years but have only written anything a few times. I am good friends with and a supporter of Bill Moyer who co-founded Backbone Campaign during the Bush build up to invade Iraq. Backbone supports artful activism and has a presence around the country providing useful and fun visual props to support non violent actions and demonstrations.

Bill co- wrote a book – “Solutionary Rails” in 2018 and since has been working hard to promote the use of railroads to help boost the energy transition.
Bill has started a bare bones podcast that I want to share with the folks at Daily Kos. It explains the history and potential future for the rail system in our country.

I hope this helps spread the word about a positive way we can help make this a better world for all.
Full disclosure- I am a supporter of Backbone Campaign, helping out as a builder – If you look at the Backbone site you will see a number of things I helped work on –inflatable Salmon (20’ long), Orca (25’ long) as well as the LED letters used for banners. Peace and a better world for all!
