In a press release by Jay Friedland of Plug In America, we learn that the non-profit organization helped organize many thousands of emails to various congressional representatives in support of favorable provisions to be added to the stimulus bill.

Maria Cantwell (D-WA), which extended a 10% tax credit to three-wheeled electric vehicles, electric motorcycles, “Neighborhood” Electric Vehicles, and gas/hybrid cars that have been converted to plug-ins.
