A short while ago I got the following email from our great senator, Bill Nelson. I wrote him and suggested that maybe Congress should shut off the funds and then none of the states will be able to take it. I also asked him why bother spending money to create phony jobs when all they have to do is give it to the unemployed. They still don't have a clue!
If you want to give him your opinion go here:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"A bipartisan group of the state's political and business leaders have pursued high-speed rail in Florida for decades, because it means more than $2.4 billion in economic aid, thousands of construction jobs and a modern transportation link between several of the state’s largest cities. That’s why I support it. I’m joined by state lawmakers and many members of Florida's congressional delegation, who also question the governor’s decision to kill high-speed rail. One is U.S. Rep. John Mica, the Winter Park Republican who chairs the House Transportation Committee. Also, federal transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, a Republican, has expressed disappointment. If Florida doesn’t take the money, another state will. So, some of us will look for ways to save the rail project. Meantime, please don’t hesitate to pass along your thoughts.[/FONT]"
