Dear American Energy Supporter,
I
just got this email update from our State Director (email is below) and
I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for all of your hard work. If
you haven't done so already, I encourage you to submit
your comments to EPA. If you have already submitted your
comments, please scroll to the bottom of this message and pass it along to a few friends.
The
Obama Administration is considering giving the State of California the
power to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles. This will
increase car and truck prices across the nation. According to the
Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, these regulations could hike
prices by $3,000 per vehicle.
The
already-struggling automakers may need to cut back on or eliminate
certain models to comply with California’s dictates. Not only will
this harm the American auto industry, it will limit your car and truck
options.
This quote from a Wall Street Journal article sums up the current assault on the auto industry by unelected federal bureaucrats:
"GM
was also told in no uncertain terms that it must learn to make money on
smaller cars–not just trucks and sport-utility vehicles."
This regulation would only make matters worse. That is why the Obama Administration needs to hear from you.
Tell
the Obama Administration not to force you to pay more for your next
car. Tell them not to restrict your freedom to choose the kind of
automobile that best suits you and your family's needs. Tell them you
know that this regulation will do little, if anything, to help the
environment. Tell the Administration that you oppose California’s plan
to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles.
The period for comments closes Monday, April 6, so send in your comments today and don’t forget to forward this email to a friend. Every comment counts!
Tom

Tom,
I
wanted to give you a quick update on the California waiver petition. In
just three days, we've had nearly 5,000 signatures. This is a great
number and proves that there are a lot of people that don't want the
government to regulate what kind of car they drive.
We're hoping to garner at least 10,000 signatures by next week.
Dan
