Vote for Rails-to-Trails

American Express is donating a combined $1,000,000 divided among five charities from unique categories. One charity in the running is Rails-to-Trails. Rails-to-Trails has played a key role in the development of several local, region and national trails; including the Capital Crescent Trail and Metropolitan Branch Trail. Right now they are trailing the National Trust for Historic Preservation (another good cause) by a scant margin. If you would like to support Rails-to-Trails and help them secure an extra $200,000 you can vote at takepart.com.
