Reinstate 55 MPH

[Raceco]

This was taken off a blog, and certainly will be of interest to all of us. Unfortunately, there is a presidential candidate seeking nomination from "her" party, that will likely push for this reinstatement. Here's the blog:

Dear NMA member,

There have been periodic statements by public officials and media outlets
that the high price of motor fuels would be reduced if the federal
government brought back the 55 MPH national speed limit. This is nonsense,
but we still need to counter this absurd line of reasoning. We have just
posted a blog on our web site that addresses this subject:

Reinstating "55," Are They Crazy?!

I want to encourage you to read and circulate it to friends and media
outlets that may be discussing this subject. Also, feel free to take parts
of this document,or specific points, and use them to craft editorials to
your local papers and web sites that post visitor opinions.

Let's nip this in the bud and make the point loud and clear that the last
thing this country needs is another siege of the 55 MPH national maximum
speed limit.

Jim Baxter
NMA President
