>> Dear Andrea Dorey,
>>
>> On March 27th, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is  
>> scheduled to vote on a change to their Zero Emissions Vehicle  
>> (ZEV) program that could delay production EVs another decade.  The  
>> Electric Auto Association urges you to take action to make  
>> California aware that you want production EVs back on the roads.   
>> We have set up a website to help.  The ZEV goals were once 2% in  
>> 1998, 3% in 2001, and 10% in 2003, but later the program was put  
>> off a decade.
>>
>> Now as the end of that decade draws near, CARB staff proposes to  
>> delay another decade.  Staff calls for 840 vehicles per year  
>> (0.04%) in 2012 through 2014.  The old 1998 target is fifty times  
>> what is now being proposed for 16 years later.  In 2015 CARB  
>> proposes only 0.4%. The 2012 goals do not even approach the number  
>> of vehicles previously shown to be possible.
>>
>> The EAA does not normally use email except for membership  
>> reminders.  Because of urgent upcoming decision that may affect  
>> EVs to years to come, we are sending this email to ask that you  
>> join a low-traffic mailing list that the EAA will use to alert you  
>> to developments where your emails, letters, faxes, phone calls,  
>> etc. could make a big difference.  Participation is optional, but  
>> please do consider joining and help us advocate for EVs in  
>> important battles, such the one that will be decided on 3/27.
>>
>> For further information about what you can do to let California  
>> know you want a meaningful ZEV program, please visit:

>>    http://www.eaaev.org/action/
>>
>> This page also has details on how to join our EV-advocacy mailing  
>> list to get future notices.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
