Went to SummitRacing.com to do some browsing and on the front page, saw this:

Scrappage Bill Defeated!
Your phone calls, letters, and e-mails have paid off! Thanks to the combined efforts of the high performance industry and performance enthusiasts like you, the proposed old-car scrappage legislation, Section 822 of U.S. Bill 517, has been defeated. Your hobby, along with countless classic cars, performance parts, and jobs, has been saved. Thank you

Just in case you hadn't seen that, thought you'd be interested.

Yep,
I saw it last week. It just goes to show you that we still have people willing to fight for our freedoms. The letter I got from SEMA is posted on the SCoIA site in the articles section. If you have a minute go read it! Here's the link: www.albeedigital.com/supe.../articles/ (http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/articles/)

It's good to see that there are enough of us out there that take "freedom" seriously enough to take the time to express our feeling to our elected officials. There were alot of aftermarket companies and groups like SEMA that are always looking out for the automotive hobbists, but individuals still carry alot of weight when we stand together.

Expressing personal views to our leaders is not only our right, it's our responsiblity. If we don't take a stand no one will know how we feel and what we believe.

All I can say is: WE DID IT ....... and I'm sure we'll hear from Senators Daschle (D-SD) and Bingaman (D-NM) again next year and we'll have to do it again!
