Petition to change the US vehicle import laws... Options

[3WayStunna]

know almost 100% of you would agree with this petition. Please put your signature where your mouth is and sign it. If you don't already have a whitehouse.gov account, you will have to sign up for one, but it's limited information and it's quick as they just need your address and a working email account that you can respond from.

Title of the Petition:
Stop using Homeland Security funds to seize imported vehicles, and change the DOT/EPA exemption to 15 years.

https://wwws.whiteho...-years/L50BZzwj

Here are the details of the petition:
The Department of Homeland Security spends a shockingly disproportionate amount of its budget not on security initiatives, but on customs seizures. In particular, importers of grey-market vehicles have been targeted by monies taxpayers have intended to be used to secure our country against terrorism and terrorist activity. We call upon the Executive Branch to immediately cease this wasteful activity, and furthermore to change the DOT/EPA exemption time on grey-market vehicles from 25 years to 15 years (to match the vehicle regulations of Canada), recognizing that the 25-year rule was enacted due to support from special interests such as Mercedes Benz North America.


I went on ahead and signed it for the poops and giggles of it all....who knows something might change?

im going to sign it but very doubtful this will work. i think the government is shown to be on matters like this interest of big business > interest of the people but it can't hurt to sign up.

Edit:Dam it i always mix up sing and sign and auto correct is no help >_<
