[Healeys] CA AB 3053

[Healey Bruce]

Patton, I'm late to this discussion due to a week of business travel.  As 
has been pointed out, we have a strong network that monitors legislative 
activity.  Check out the Association of California Car Clubs 
(http://www.acccdefender.org/).  I am working with our local Austin Healey 
Association to join the Association.  Their publication, The Defender, is 
most helpful on keeping tabs on legislative activity.  We are also fortunate 
that we have a strong and very visible ally in Jay Leno.  He has been very 
vocal in opposing legislation detrimental to the hobby.
