Oppose Federal “Cash for Clunkers” Program

Washington lawmakers are drafting a large economic stimulus package to help create jobs and rebuild infrastructure. They want to include a nationwide scrappage program which would give U.S. tax dollars to consumers who turn-in older cars to have them crushed, as a misguided attempt to spur new car sales. The lawmakers need to scrap this idea.

The stimulus package is being drafted right now. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wants to introduce the bill on January 6 and have it approved by Congress by January 20, so that President Obama can sign it into law after he is inaugurated.

Contact House Speaker Nancy Pelosi IMMEDIATELY To Oppose Cash for Clunkers!

Talking Points
Oppose the Use of U.S. Taxpayer Dollars for Cash for Clunkers

• I am [calling/writing] to urge lawmakers not to include a “Cash for Clunkers” provision in the economic stimulus bill. Owners who turn in vehicles for crushing would receive a "minimal" payment to purchase a new car. This is a misguided attempt to spur car sales and claim that the country’s air quality or fleet fuel mileage is being improved.

• I work for [company name] located in [city and state]. My company is part of the specialty automotive industry, an industry which enables consumers to enhance their vehicle’s appearance, performance, comfort, convenience and safety. “Cash for Clunkers” programs deny our small businesses the availability of older cars necessary to develop and market their products and services. The programs will hurt my company and our customers.

• “Cash for Clunkers” programs threaten enthusiasts nationwide with the loss of valuable parts and parts-cars for repair, restoration, and customization projects. The programs also risk destroying classic, historic and special-interest vehicles, our American heritage.

• Cars turned in for scrappage often barely run, or are rarely-driven second or third vehicles that have a minimal impact on overall fuel economy or emissions.

• “Cash for Clunkers” programs will reduce the availability of affordable transportation and repair parts used by low-income drivers. It will also compete with the Salvation Army, the Purple Heart and other charities that rely on vehicle donations to raise money.

• “Cash for Clunkers” ignores better policy options. If Congress wants to act, support for repair and upgrade is a better choice and a win-win for consumers, dealers, manufacturers and repair shops. Significant emissions and fuel economy improvements can be achieved in older vehicles through relatively simple and inexpensive means: repaired/replaced exhaust systems, tune-ups, etc.

• We hope we can count on you to reject “Cash for Clunkers.” Thank you for your consideration on this very important matter.

Yet another example of those Facist bastards who call themselves "liberal" eating away at our personal freedom! The tree huggers who run this state are going to jump right on this! It is odd that CA being the center of the car culture in the USA has such a set of restrictive "liberal" laws as they apply to our vehicles. These guys want us all driving faggoty a$$ little electric cars! Golf carts belong on Golf Courses!
My cars are late model, but I have done restoration in the past.... Whatever I can do to help squash this, I will do.

And nobody also thought that the Cell Phone Use ban would ever pass here in California, but it "eventually" did.

In fact, starting today a new law goes into effect here in california that stops anyone from Texting while driving. That in itself is not so terrible, but part of the law includes that you cannot "read' texting on a cell phone. Now, how do you enforce that? What if someone is calling you while you are driving and you pick up the phone just to see who it is without answering it??? Bam! ticket.

A friend was pulled over and asked by the LEO where his cell phone was?? He said, in the center console....why do you want to make a phone call? The LEO said no, I thought I saw you using it, then proceeded to check over his drivers license, Reg., the car etc. Then let him go. Just another reason to get pulled over.

Sometimes I wish I drive a truck so I can just run those people over. Especially down here in Chula Vista on the 5 and 805. Someone please tell those with Baja plates that the speed limit sign here are posted in MPH and not KPH as it is in Mexico. Going 65 KPH is not cool in the passing lane (#1 Lane).

It is being added as a part of the stimulus package:bs:, an all or nothing vote, need to get it removed before it hits the floor for vote.
