Red face Warning for California Pickup Owners!

This legislation orders state bureaucrats to reduce greenhouse gases from California cars and trucks. It doesn’t say how. AB 1058 gives the California Air Resources Board a blank check to decide what you drive and how many miles you drive.

AB 1058 will limit your choice of vehicles. It really is an attempt to force Californians into smaller, less powerful cars. That’s not fair to low and middle income families and working Californians.

Tell them to STOP AB 1058 NOW!

“A recent (March 2002) joint report by CARB and the California Energy Commission offers some insights into several strategies to reduce gasoline consumption, and thereby reducing carbon dioxide:

• Another 50-cent-per-gallon increase in gasoline taxes.
• A two-cent tax on every mile driven for all passenger vehicles.
• Extra fees of $3,500 on minivans, light duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, and others to discourage consumers from buying them.
• Reduction of the speed limit to 55 miles per hour.
• Recommending new designs for vehicles and engines

To all,

I have never been so ticked off than I am now. I will no longer post any more info on this subject, but I would like to urge all California voters to pass on a form letter of protest to this Assembly Bill that is being "FAST TRACKED" to the govenor.

The following web site provides a means to let our voices be heard. Please take a minute and check it out!

Thanks for your support,
Doug M.
