Trying to get a letter together that we can start sending to senators and house members, this bill needs to pass! Anyone interested in helping?

There is no petition. Follow the link I posted in post # 3 to find your representative and send him/her an email stating your support for this bill!

No petition. Just follow the link that hughes posted to find your rep, and email them asking them to support H.F. No. 1071. Give them a reason too, not just 'please support this' say something like 'If properly displayed, one plate is more than enough for a vehicle. Having second plates disrupts cooling flow to the engine, induces drag (thus hurting fuel economy), and adds production cost to the state.'
Do NOT copy/paste, use your own words!

Who all did you email? It's not in the senate yet is it? Only the house has a status of the bill so far.

The state would save money by only needing to produce 1 license plate per
vehicle. The money we save from converting to one license plate would be
better used on our roadways and transportations systems.
We will also produce less waste for the environment by cutting the number
of license plates in half. Being that this is Earth Day I urge you to
remember the impact this will have on our earth. It is another way
Minnesota can make a difference.
Last month I was in a car accident where I was rear-ended and the main
damage to my car was from where the screws of the front license plate of
the other car scraped my bumper. Had there not been a front license plate
on this car it would have cost much less to fix the damage as the bumper
would only have needed to be reset instead of completely replaced. So by
removing front license plates I believe the citizens on Minnesota would be
able to reduce collision damage and therefore insurance rates.
Please take these comments into consideration and please support H.F. No.
1071.
Sincerely,
|
