JRamsey: /* Canvassing */

<blockquote>'''''For the third time in ten years, the MBTA is offering its riders a choice between draconian service cuts and draconian fare increases in an effort to close a budget gap caused by legacy debt...We will not let our government balance its books on the backs of working people any longer... Debt relief for the MBTA can close the budget gaps without asking the poorest among us to carry a heavier burden and is good for T riders, T workers, T management--good for the entire 99%!''''' - ''from a [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xssJ1y0Gedlt-gOGqSygGoFfld0oDOHcendgJaOor5U/edit?hl=en_US draft statement] we are working on''</blockquote>
