Bruce, suppression of our citizens right to vote is unfair. True. However, just as contributing our voice through voting is important, I think it is also important to offer our voice in these matters that can affect us. If we do not, we have only ourselves to blame.
Well intentioned people in positions of authority may have a focused goal to improve emissions. That is a worthy cause. However, low or no impact scenarios like ours can be affected because of the EPA being unaware of these consequences. I am not talking big money lobbyists. I am talking racers just like us.
For example, imagine if you hired an accountant to secure your children's inheritance and gave them full authority over your assets to complete this one, defined mission.
You would wake up and find your entire racing operation and many other quality of life activities that are clearly not needed to be divested.
Now, it isn't that accountants are bad people. They only fulfilled the mission under the ground.rules they were given. (Which was none in my example).
So, you find out all of the fun stuff you had in life, your race car and all supporting equipment was long gone.
When you confront the accountant to ask why in the @!#- he did that, he would only say "sorry, I didn't know"
All I can say is that this scenario would cut across any political spectrum. I would encourage thoughtful and productive communication to your representatives.

Passing laws that reduce polling stations and hours of operation is blatant voter suppression. There is nothing funny about voting. It is a serious matter.
Edit: cellphone issues with links. Google voter suppression - especially in PA. |
