Haha! No more guns and now no more cars! Better sell those registered pre-bans and buy horses!

From a forwarded email:

The Senate gutted and amended a bill (AB 1493) on Saturday afternoon, June
29, 2002, and put in the language previously contained in AB 1058 (the SUV
tax bill).  It was sent back over to the Assembly, where it passed behind
closed door session on Monday, July 1, 2002.  It has now gone to the
Governor.

For those that do not remember, AB 1058 enabled CARB to create standards to
contain carbon dioxide emmissions.  Their plan for doing this was the
following:

       A.  Raising taxes on gasoline by fifty cents a gallon;
       B.  Taxing the miles you drive at two cents per mile;
       C.  Raising taxes on SUVs and minivans by $3500;
       D.  Reducing the speed limit to 55 miles per hour (again);
and
       E.  Requiring everybody to have a "tire check" certification, much like a smog check today.  

The Democrats that passed the bill are saying that they have amended the
bill to take the concerns of opponents into consideration.  This is
semantics.  The bill still does exactly what it originally did.  It is now
on the Governor's desk, and it is imperative that the citizens of this State
let Governor Davis know that they do not want this bill passed.  Therefore,
please contact the Governor and share your opinion with him.  Ask him to
veto AB 1493.  He can be reached as follows:

Governor Gray Davis
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, CA 95814

Phone: 916-445-2841

Fax: 916-445-4633

Emails to the Governor's office are ineffectual as they are automatically responded too and there is no way to know if they are actually looked at.

Don't laugh. It won't be long before the liberals here come pouring out of California like a wave of pure idiocy to engulf everyone else. Man, that's depressing.

If the INS builds a fence at the mexican border, can we have them go north along the california border??

If they'd all leave for AZ, we'd be in great shape.

I don't know where that information came from, but the bill states (twice, no less):


 
Sounds like a lot of hoopla to me.

Imbroglio you are just believing the hype that the anti-1493 advertisers are spouting out.  The bill specifically states what Mattja posted in the text of the bill. All this bill is gonna do is require additional smog requirements on California cars just like when there used to be a 49 state car and a California car from manufacturers in the 70's-80's.

Self-hatred is a terrible thing...

I told you guys last year......


We sholda traded Kali to China for our downed pilots....


But nooooooo, you guys wouldnt listen to me!

i was reading the paper this morn and it said that comrade davis was considering signing it.
   also stated that his office has received many phone calls about it and to my surprise 3-2 in favor e mails were pouring in too at 4-1 in favor.this was from his office i myself find this hard to believe the results but not the lie about it!!

If this crap was coming out of any other state but this one...I'd have called the men in white coats.  Since it's my old home state...I believe every friggin word!

Those dumbass liberals will do anything to regulate society and steal your money so they can do social engineering.  What a load of manure.  My daughter still lives there in Ojai.  She called her mother last night and mentioned this...I just passed it off as another goofy idea.  Now I'm a believer.

Grey-Out Davis will sign the damn thing too...have no fear, you liberals.  You get to rip off the citizens again...and feel real good in the process...plus, now you have more of the public's money to play with!  Won't THAT be fun?

[pissed]

what money?  this bill doesnt have anything to do with raising money. I wouldnt vote for it but why don't you guys read the stupid bill at least, talk about uninformed
