I received this from a drag racer friend. It's of particular interest to Oregon enthusiasts, but keep in mind these ideas can spread from state to state like wildfire.
So you thought Big Brother wasn't coming after your car or pickup?
Read this, and then please contact everyone on this committee. First it will
be limits on tire sizes and suspension. Then it will be horsepower limits.
Then we'll be forced into hybrids or electric cars, all in the name of
"man-caused global warming" which is a giant fraud.
Oregon Introduces Bill to Prohibit Sale
of Aftermarket Parts
At the request of Governor Theodore Kulongoski, the Oregon Speaker of
the House has introduced legislation (H.B. 2186) to prohibit the sale and
distribution of aftermarket motor vehicle parts if alternatives are
available that "decrease greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles." The
bill is primarily focused on aftermarket tires and would authorize the
Environmental Quality Commission to implement enforcement regulations,
likely based on a rolling resistance calculation.
We Urge You to Contact Oregon Speaker of the House Dave Hunt and Members
of the Environment and Water Committee (Contact Information Below)
Immediately to Request Their Opposition to H.B. 2186
* H.B. 2186 would regulate vehicle fuel economy, an authority
reserved to the federal government.
* H.B. 2186 could ban tires that may have improved performance,
handling or appearance features, based solely on a rolling resistance
rating. In addition, this program could easily distract consumers from
focusing on more important safety issues such as tire inflation and
overloading of vehicles.
* H.B. 2186 would force consumers to purchase only original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires because the program essentially exempts
OEM-selected tires and unfairly implies that they are superior to
aftermarket products.
* H.B. 2186 could prohibit aftermarket parts designed to either
personalize or optimize specific vehicle performance attributes including
handling, towing, suspension, fuel economy, etc.
* H.B. 2186 provides broad authority to government regulators and
could limit a range of aftermarket parts currently available to consumers
based on the subjective determination of government regulators.
*
DON'T DELAY! Please contact Oregon Speaker Dave Hunt and the House
Environment and Water Committee immediately to urge his opposition to H.B.
2186.
