SCRAPPAGE IS DEFEATED ON U.S. SENATE FLOOR !

Attention SEMA Board of Directors, SEMA Staff, Automotive Enthusiasts and Friends:

Thank you all for your hard work in opposing, and now defeating, the old car scrappage provision in the Energy Policy Act of 2002 (Section 822 of S.517).

In case you haven't heard the news, Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell's (R-CO)
amendment to eliminate scrappage from the legislation was - astonishingly
enough - passed by unanimous consent. In the end, even the principal
sponsor of the scrappage provision, Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), was not
willing to oppose the Campbell amendment!

This is fantastic work, work that would not have been possible without the
literally thousands of phone calls, faxes, emails and letters to U.S.
Senators that SEMA member businesses and SEMA Action Network vehicle clubs
and individual enthusiasts were able to muster. Hobbyist efforts were cited
by Senator Campbell and Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) as a compelling force
in defeating this scrappage provision.

SEMA sincerely thanks everyone for their dedication, hard work, and
willingness to protect the vehicle hobby today and to preserve for it for
our children. We are also very indebted to the efforts of Senator Ben
Nighthorse Campbell. Without his exceptional effort and support, victory
would have been impossible.

This is an amazing victory and a testament to the powerful connection
between the specialty aftermarket automotive industry and the American
vehicle hobbyist community.

Job well done.
