So David,
What are the Insurance Companies, Auto repair people and car clubs doing
about this? Has GGAHC, Sacramento and San Diego clubs sent a notice to
their respective membership insisting that they contact their legislators
with letters, faxs and emails. Provide them a letter, provide them a script
for their telephone calls, provide them with a fax# - forf every Member in
Sacramento. Make it URGENT! That's how you get it done. Having been in
the legislative advocacy business for 20 years I can tell you that these
brain-dead idiots in Sacramento WILL pass this law if they think that nobody
cares. It isn't enough to post here - we MUST protect our interests or we
will all find ourselves with lovely museum pieces in our garages.
