Senate Bill 1766

[moparts]

Senator Tome Daschle (D-SD) and Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) are pushing Senate Bill 1766 onto the senate floor for a vote in Feb. Sec. 803 of the Energy Policy Act of 2002 (S. 1766) would direct the U.S. Department of Energy to provide funding to states so they can offer cash incentives for motorists to scrap vehicles that ar 15 years old or older. The legislation would also provide credits for the purchase of newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles.
We must inudate all of the Senators by encouraging everyone to immediately write, fax, or call their Senators. Request that they immediately remove this section from the bill. We need to let the Senate know that this bill affects the livelihood of many. If this bill passes it will affect anyone in the business of repairing or selling autos and parts.

RE: Strike Sec. 803 of SB 1766
Dear Senator:

My livelihood comes from the repair and maintenance of vehicles and I am writing today to seek your support in removing Sec. 803, Assistance for State Programs to Retire Fuel-Inefficient Motor Vehicles, from the Energy Policy Act of 2002 (S.1766)

The bill proposes to pay motorists with federal tax dollars to scrap their older cars for a new, fuel-efficient car. I am concerned that this proposed program will have a negative effect on the automotive aftermarket. I cannot support something that proposes to use my tax dallars to consequently work against me. The result of this could even put me out of business.

Vote to strike Sec. 803 of the Energy Policy of 2002 (SB1766).
Thank you.


Sorry for using the board for this info-mercial but this is a toppic that will affect us all eventually.
