This is the sort of legislation attempt that must be vigilantly watched
for. Politicians are constantly trying to save us from ourselves. If your
state has a Car Council, and many do, I urge you and or your club to join
it and support it.
It is simply amazing the things proposed in legislatures nation wide.
Some have good intentions(that aren't), some are trying to take away what
we do for entertainment. Occasionally, they do things that are to our
benefit.
I'll get off my soap box now.
Thank you,
William G. Rosenbach
President, Old Car Council of Colorado
