This CONSERVATIVE ALERT prepared for William Paschall:

ISSUE: Oh Brother... It's Big Brother!! America's 24 million SUV
owners are under attack again. A pair of liberal, U.S.
Senators has fallen in lock step with the extremists who are dead set
on dictating what kind of vehicle you drive. And they have your SUV on
the most wanted list.

California's Sen. Diane Feinstein and Illinois' Sen. Richard Durbin
are licking their liberal chops at the prospect of passing amendments
to the Energy Bill that would essentially force SUVs, pickups and
minivans to meet standards equal to cars. We all want better mileage
but unrealistic government mandates will lead to serious tradeoffs
that most people don't want: vehicles that cost more, are smaller,
less powerful, less safe, and far less useful.

Picture the smallest SUV or pickup you've ever seen and that's the
type that consumers would be left with. But that's not stopping
elitist liberals, Hollywood millionaires or radical enviro-terrorists
from claiming to know better than you what kind of automobile to
drive. They don't care that SUV fuel economy has improved by 40%. They
snub many hard- working Americans who consider SUVs, pickups and vans
essential for work, like our hometown rescue squads and law
enforcement units. They dismiss the fact that SUVs are as safe as
cars. All they care about is taking away your vehicle, your choice and
your freedom.

These reckless amendments threaten the very existence of SUVs, pickups
and vans and roadway safety. If the Feinstein or Durbin amendments
pass then you, your passengers and your roadway neighbors are at risk
because the proposed standards would set extreme, unsafe, fuel economy
levels for SUVs, minivans and pickups. Legislating yet-to-be invented
automotive engineering advances is as irresponsible as legislating a
cure for cancer. It's a legislative menace to the safety of America's
highways and it's millions of SUV, minivan and light truck drivers and
passengers. Cars are not trucks!

You can do something about it.

ACTION ITEM: We need to put the brakes on these dangerous amendments
immediately. There is no time to lose. Congress will vote on the
Feinstein and Durbin amendments as early as Tuesday, July 29 and we
need you to take action against these destructive proposals NOW before
it's too late.

The Sport Utility Vehicle Owners of America (SUVOA) is recruiting the
24 million American SUV owners and others who depend on pickups and
vans to join the battle against these self-appointed Car Czars and
their anti-SUV obsession.

The first thing that must be done is to show Congress that we take our
freedoms seriously. And that we take attacks on our freedoms even more
seriously.

Right now you can do that by signing a letter rejecting the
irresponsible amendments proposed by Feinstein and Durbin and sending
it to your two U.S. Senators.

Together, we can stop this assault on our freedom to choose the
vehicle that best meets our needs. Together, we can defeat absurd
legislative proposals promoted by ambitious politicians and their
willing special interest zealots. But we can only do it with you.

environmental extremists. Thank you!
