You can use the following points, but make sure to personalize them to reflect your state and company's situation:

• The delayed highway/transit program reauthorization has created major uncertainty for state transportation programs.
• This uncertainty is diluting the impact of the Recovery Act's (i.e. stimulus') transportation investments and helping drive the disproportionate level of unemployment in the transportation construction industry.
• The proposed extension and its provisions to stabilize the Highway Trust Fund will provide the continuity necessary to help maximize employment and economic activity from the 2010 construction season.
• Please support the highway/transit program extension, H.R. 2847.
