wasnt trying to make other look bad, just want fair justice. i didnt see a spell check, i had a few words in question, but didnt take the time to look them up. my delegate is a friend of the family, so if he sees the last name hopefully he will read it.

i dont know if i would word that letter like that to be honest. main reason is the laws arent only enforced by local cops, but state troopers also, and their jurisdiction is highways only. so, murder/rape/etc isnt their job.

not meaning to sound like an ass or anything, but from me reading that letter you posted, if i were someone that didnt know alot about cars, i would think that some punk kid wrote it. again, i dont knock you writing it and all, since everyone is different, but i think there could be a more professional way of doing it.

basically, if EVERYONE gets together and does it to where it is like you are writing on behalf of car enthusiasts of all kinds, it may look better.

i am working on one right now, will post sometime.

to everyone doing this, and lets get it done.

*edit*

here is mine from me as a business, i am working on one for personal shit now.

The only way to make this bill pass through the legislature is to write in a professional way to all of our delegates. It's important for our delegates to know that we support this bill and wish to see it followed through with. My only concern is that the state legislature will reject/sit on this bill because passing it would hurt a big fundraiser of theirs. Virginia is strapped for cash. Perhaps we can suggest an alternate fundraiser?

I wrote that it would be advantageous to both sides because of the decibel limit. it would give true enthusiasts more leeway in modifying their cars, while still allowing law enforcement to crack down on the "I am/want to be a street racer" (aka ricer) crowd. maybe if we can get that point across, it will get passed. just try to show them that two things can be accomplished. that true enthusiasts can modify their cars, and law enforcement can still crack down on ricers which still generates revenue for the state.

Read the letter. Very impressive. That's exactly the message that needs to be sent.

Guys, make sure you put your address in the letter somewhere so they know they represent you.

Alright, here is the letter I wrote http://filebox.vt.edu/users/ahoai/Dear%20Delegate.doc

Everyone is free to copy it, or edit it and use it. Remember, include your name, address, district, and all that other stuff. Links to find that are posted in the nova thread.

Like I said though, its best to write your own letter.
