There is a groundswell of support across the United States for a thorough upgrade to America's infrastructure. Today, at 3 p.m CST, New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (D-CA), and Gov. Ed Rendell (D-PA) are calling on presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain to join a coalition of political leaders calling for a infrastructure overhaul.
