Washington lawmakers are drafting a large economic stimulus package to help
create jobs and rebuild infrastructure. They want to include a nationwide
scrappage program which would give U.S. tax dollars to consumers who
turn-in older cars to have them crushed, as a misguided attempt to spur new
car sales. The lawmakers need to scrap this idea.
The stimulus package is being drafted right now. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) wants to introduce the bill on January 6 and have it approved by
Congress by January 20, so that President Obama can sign it into law after
he is inaugurated.

Feel free to use any of the statements below as a starting point for your
message to Speaker Pelosi.
* I am [calling/writing] to urge lawmakers not to include a ³Cash for
Clunkers² provision in the economic stimulus bill. Owners who turn in
vehicles for crushing would receive a "minimal" payment to purchase a new
car. This is a misguided attempt to spur car sales and claim that the
country¹s air quality or fleet fuel mileage is being improved.
*
*
* I work for [company name] located in [city and state]. My company is part
of the specialty automotive industry, an industry which enables consumers
to enhance their vehicle¹s appearance, performance, comfort, convenience
and safety. ³Cash for Clunkers² programs deny our small businesses the
availability of older cars necessary to develop and market their products
and services. The programs will hurt my company and our customers.
*
*
* ³Cash for Clunkers² programs threaten enthusiasts nationwide with the
loss of valuable parts and parts-cars for repair, restoration, and
customization projects. The programs also risk destroying classic, historic
and special-interest vehicles, our American heritage.
*
*
* Cars turned in for scrappage often barely run, or are rarely-driven
second or third vehicles that have a minimal impact on overall fuel economy
or emissions.
*
*
* ³Cash for Clunkers² programs will reduce the availability of affordable
transportation and repair parts used by low-income drivers. It will also
compete with the Salvation Army, the Purple Heart and other charities that
rely on vehicle donations to raise money.
*
*
* ³Cash for Clunkers² ignores better policy options. If Congress wants to
act, support for repair and upgrade is a better choice and a win-win for
consumers, dealers, manufacturers and repair shops. Significant emissions
and fuel economy improvements can be achieved in older vehicles through
relatively simple and inexpensive means: repaired/replaced exhaust systems,
tune-ups, etc.
*
*
* We hope we can count on you to reject ³Cash for Clunkers.² Thank you for
your consideration on this very important matter.
