We have a chance to bring the Delta Queen steamboat back to the American
Inland Waterways--all by private funding (no taxpayer dollars, no handout)
if we can get her exemption to the Safety for Ships at SEA law passed. The
bill has 22 bipartisan co-sponsors and has passed out of committee. It is
ready for a vote on the floor of the house. Please email your Federal
Representative right way to encourage them to vote in favor of HR 1961.

Here's a suggested email text, feel free to make up your own too:

Dear Congress person ______,
Please vote for passage of HR 1961, allowing the Delta Queen Steamboat to
operate again, providing jobs in an economically depressed area, and an
economic boost to the communities where she stops; all at no cost to the
American Taxpayers. In addition, this will keep alive an important piece of
our American Heritage.
Thank you,
