My position on this issue is ........... And by the way sign up for my newsletter."
I'm seriously getting the idea that I'm one of the few that is actively lobbying Congress. It's really frustrating that we have such a strong community that just won't make a move. We complain about the end of our company, but for some reason we can't be motivated to get out of our comfort zone to do 10 minutes of research to figure out our elected officials' phone numbers.

Our community alone has enough people to sway Congress. We have as many members as a lot of interest groups. All we have to do is call Congress. Find your public officials' phone numbers and start demanding change! Demand an end to CAFE, support for domestic industries, and money invested in the future of American cars.
