Scions,
An earlier post of mine on the new "Smog Check Phase II" laws
now active in Califonia, USA, did not generate much traffic. This
is something that will affect ALL American motorists, so allow me to
stir the pot a little....
As explained by Investigative Reporter Karen-Lee Bixman, Guest
Speaker, on the Lee Rodgers & Melanie Morgan Talk Radio Program aired
on KSFO Radio 560 AM (San Francisco), Saturday, July 20, 1996 (please
see their website at:
http://www.iwe.com/ksfo/
for all details and references), that.........
FACT: The new EPA Phase II Law is designed to ban all gasoline and diesel
cars, trucks and vans in California that are ten years old and older. Also
to be banned are two stroke engines on motorcycles, outboard engines,
chain saws, lawn mowers, etc.
FACT: The vehicles will be labeled "gross polluters" by the EPA then
confiscated and supposedly crushed. The objective of the EPA is to
remove approximately 75% of the vehicles now in use in California during the
next five years.
FACT: The long range goal of the EPA is to allow only vehicles four years
old and newer to be operated in the State of California. The rest of the
United States will then be expected to follow suit a short time later.
FACT: Twenty states have voluntarily accepted this plan. Colorado and
New Jersey now have this plan in effect. Japan has this law, and several
European countries have similar laws.
FACT: The EPA Smog Check Phase II was passed by the EPA in 1990. It has
been in limited effect up until now. It is scheduled to be put into
full effect by November 1996.
Etc, etc, etc.
Wake up, America.
