VOTE TODAY! IT'S PAYBACK TIME FOR THE"CASH FOR CLUNKERS" FIASCO!

We saw this today at Car Craft.com, and we agree completely!

If you're not at the opening of the SEMA Show today, please remember to get out and VOTE!

Sure, Car Crafters tend not to be into politics. But the politicians elected today will be deciding our automotive future. They'll decide whether "cap and trade" and big hikes in Corporate Average Fuel Economy will doom our beloved V8s! They'll decide emissions laws, energy policy, highway funding and even laws that will make it harder to keep our race tracks open. Voting today is particularly important in the battleground states of California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, Louisiana, New Hampshire and North Carolina.

But even if you don't live in a battleground state, your vote to protect our Automotive liberty and freedom to Car Craft is vital.

But who should you vote for? Vote Automotive!

Vote for the candidates who are most likely to oppose EPA/DOT/CARB power grabs. Vote for candidates who recognize personal liberty. Vote for candidates who opposed schemes like "Cash for Clunkers" -- an expensive mess destroyed hundreds of thousands of V8s that Car Crafters, restorers, and gearheads could have used (even after SEMA-SAN stopped the car haters from crushing pre-1984 classics).

The "Cash for Clunkers" vote is a good bellweather for whether or not a politician "gets" Automotive freedom or not.
