I just got this as an email from IMBA. They have a link that shows local trail systems that are impacted and there are a lot. The following link has a template letter that you just need to put your contact info into. It takes 2 minutes to do.

International Mountain Biking Association - Save Federal Funding for Bicycling
We urge you to send a short email TODAY to your members of Congress.
Tell them that you want to see funding for biking and walking programs preserved.
If some congressional leaders, like Representative Mica and Senator Inhofe, get their way, dedicated funding for three crucial programs Safe Routes to School, Transportation Enhancements, and Recreational Trails will be eliminated.
Cost-effective federal investments that are building and improving our nation's trails and bike paths could disappear if we don't take action. Your message is critical please contact your members of Congress RIGHT NOW!
Why does this matter to mountain bikers?
Many of the at-risk federal programs directly help improve mountain biking in the United States. For example, the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) is incredibly valuable no other federal funding source comes close to creating the trail opportunities that RTP puts on the ground in all 50 states. More than likely one of your favorite trails was funded in part by RTP.
