And In Other Attempts At Democratic Process

This Virtual Petition at the White House website is about letting the Department of Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Customs Service relax their restrictions on importation of used cars from overseas.

Right now, unless the specific model is already being imported for the US Market, you can't buy a car overseas and bring it back to the US unless it already qualifies for Antique license plates. The petition would change the car age limit to 15 years, which wouldn't hurt the existing importers any, and allow safer and better cars to qualify for import (and match the laws on the books in Canada).
