Thank you for joining us in our efforts to construct a third bridge between Polk County and Salem, Oregon. To date, we have received 1,108 letters in support of the third bridge. It is critical that we show legislators how much public support exists for a third bridge.

Clicking on the email links below will open an email window (pre-addressed to the Polk County Board of Commissioners), complete with sample text inserted into the body of the email for you. All you have to do is add your signature and confact information (required) and then click the Send button.

Please be sure to add your address following your signature to verify that your signature was not forged. You will not be contacted nor placed on any kind of a mailing list. Thank you in advance for your efforts.
