Nevertheless, since this issue has political overtones, racers and others need to get involved in the petitions. |
It is a huge pain in the rear end to have to pay attention to this kind of crap. We all have better things to do with our time than to try to stay informed about this big government crap that has a major affect on all of us, who's trying to sneak what through now, email and call elect officials who are supposed to responsible for this, and in general, try to keep up with these endless attempts to control everything we do.
My involvement in other non-PC interests has taught me that we often need to be activists, be involved in national organizations that represent our interests, and be a large, loud, angry voice in the ear of our representatives. Otherwise, people like Administrator McCarty will do what they want, take what they want, tell us what we can and can't do, and not look back. Unfortunately, that's how it is.
The good news is, large numbers of people expressing their opposition to these types of initiatives are often effective in delaying or preventing them from becoming reality. People who have to be voted into office every few years, pay attention to which way the wind's blowing. You just need to take the time to rattle their cage.
