Press release:
Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) today joined the effort to oppose the Black Box Mandate. The proposed law would require all cars sold in the United States from 2015 forward to be equipped with a black box data recording device, similar to those currently found on airplanes.
“The Black Box Mandate would give the government huge amounts of personal data regarding the habits and movements of private citizens,” said Taxpayers Protection Alliance president David Williams. “This legislation not only violates Americans’ protected rights, but burdens manufacturers with an onerous new regulation whose cost will eventually be passed down to the consumer.”
The Oppose the Black Box Mandate Pledge launched last week and provides Americans the opportunity to join with TPA in opposing this intrusive and overreaching legislation.
The Oppose the Black Box Mandate Pledge:
I pledge to urge my members of Congress and President Obama to oppose any federal action to mandate the use of black box data recorders in personal vehicles. Whereas mandating black box data recorders;
- Is an infringement on personal privacy and freedoms.
- Would be a slippery slope for Government to track citizen's transportation habits and location.
- Is both an unnecessary expansion of government police power and an undue mandate on consumers and business.

Where am I living? In Communist Russia, in Nazi Germany, this kind of snooping was routine; in the United States of America, it is an abomination, as is the Current Occupant in the White House. DOWN WITH THIS BILL!

When are the American people(specifically those who live in Barbara Boxers utopia of Cali) going to wise up & vote liberal socialists like her out of office? Wake up people. Next to the Mombasi Prince, she & Diane Feinstein are two of the biggest threats to your freedom (honorable mentions go out to Bawwney Fwwank, Christopher Dodd, Chuck U Schumer, anyone with the name Kennedy, Clinton, Pelosi, Obama, Eric Holder, Leon Panetta, Janet Napolitano, George Soros, Al Gore,Liberman, the socialist
United Nations Organization whose sole purpose is to swweep the U.S. into their "one world government" & anyone not mentioned who are stiving mightly to take our freedoms away daily. To get Congressional voting scores, go to http://www.jbs.org and view the “Freedom Index” which rates all 435 Congressmen and 100 Senators.
This is the latest iteration of the Boxer Rebellion. She is frustrated that her socialist/fascist vision of America has not come to pass, so now she is trying to impose her Nazi-vision on America through this disgusting bill that would make Heinrich Himmler and Stalin's Beria of the KGB proud.
I doubt this bill could pass the House, but if it does, the Republicans are finished. Here that Speaker Boehner???

These clowns in Washington are enough to drive you insane. They think their gods and what ever they say goes, except for them of course. They should all be brought up on charges of treason, except the tea party congressmen and women who care about this country. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would look great behind bars, along with the whole Democratic party, the black caucus, and many Republicans who aren't conservatives.
