National Alerts
HR 229- Transportation Safety Enhancement Act of 2011
*National requirement for vehicle inspections*
Call your Congressmen and tell them you OPPOSE this bill.
It's another bill that tries to blackmail states (by withhold funds) & adds fees.
This bill would amend title 23 United States Code to establish national standards for State safety inspections of motor vehicles and for other purposes.
Would require states to implement MANDATORY inspections for vehicles. Would withhold funding to states that did not comply.

How to Strip a Citizenry of It's Liberty
"Let us consider that arbitrary power has seldom or ever been introduced into any country at once. It must be introduced by slow degrees, and as it were step by step, lest the people should see its approach. The barriers and fences of the people's liberty must be plucked one by one, and some plausible pretenses must be found for removing or hoodwinking, one after another, those sentries who are posted by the constitution of a free country for warning the people of their danger. When these preparatory steps are once made, the people may then indeed, with regret, see slavery and arbitrary power making long strides over their land, but it will too late to think of preventing or avoiding the impending ruin"
Lord Chesterfield, English statesman,(1694-1773)
