How to stop Mexican trucks

Tomorrow, you must get out your ink pen and write to the government to say, "DO NOT open the border to Mexican trucks."

Do it tomorrow. Do it the next day, and the next. Do it every day for 30 days.

Here's why: The federal government must post an official notice in the Federal Register in order to open the border to Mexican trucks. The public has 30 days to submit comments. The government must read every single comment and respond to it before the border can be opened.

Let's send them so many letters they'll be retired by the time they can respond. The letters don't have to be long. They just have to give a reason for keeping the border closed. Click here if you need a reason.

Got your ink pen ready? Write this down: FMCSA-2011-0097.

That's the docket number. You have to include it in your letter to the Federal Register.
 
Now, choose one of four ways to send your letter:

1. On-line. (You don't need your ink pen for this one.) Go to: http:// www.regulations.gov.  Follow the instructions.
2. Fax. The number is 1-202-493-2251.
3. Mail to: Docket Management Facility, (M–30), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, West Building, Ground Floor, Room 12-140, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
4. Hand Delivery: Same as mail address above, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.  Or send it to the IBT and we'll deliver it.

Here's a sample letter:

FMCSA-2011-0097
April 11, 2011

Dear Sir:
An an American citizen, I am horrified by FMCSA's plan to open the border to Mexican trucks. Giving violent drug cartels more access to American highways is harmful to American interests. Mexico is in a state of war. Nearly 35,000 people have been murdered in drug violence in that country since 2007. Ciudad Juarez, which is right across the border from El Paso, is the most dangerous city in the world.
Sincerely,
Name
Address

Do it. Do it now.
