Cliff Stearns joins Democrats in calling for more regulation of auto mufflers to make them louder.
Congressional Question of the Day. Are cars too quiet? Are they not quiet enough? Does a person
walking in traffic have a responsibility for his or her safety? Should they have to pay attention to traffic? Do you
support Cliff Stearns' new federal legislation requiring auto manufacturers to make autos louder for persons not paying attention
to danger. Should we add to greenhouse gasses by building more Power Plants that provide "Gas" for Electric
Cars promoted by Republican Congressmen Stearns and Democrat Congressman Edolphus Towns of New York. Both Congressmen
feel that "there is a beneficial trend toward quieter environmentally friendly autos that will require more high pollution
power plants that some feel belch too many greenhouse gasses into our fragile atmosphere. According to EDC Driector
B. Christopher Beville it is unclear if Rep. Town or Stearns know about the current federal laws requiring loud horns on all
vehicles to alert children, or adults not aware of their surroundings while walking in traffic.
Congressman Cliff Stearns feels unsafe when he and others walk in traffic. Should congressmen have to pay attention. Stearns asks for sweeping
federal regulations to make cars more noisy at low speeds. Congressman Stearns has Idea for more Federal Regulation
and founding a Federal Idea Museum. The Idea of Stearns finally retiring may be main exhibit in the Stearns National
Idea Museum.
Congressman
thinks new power plants and electric cars are the wave of the future. Paying ahead for new power plants is not sitting
well with voters. Candidate Don Browning is against new expensive power plant charges on utility bills, billing now
to support electric car demand. Government should get out of the Power Plant push to support electric cars. As
for electric cars let them pay for the power plants. Quiet vehicles have horns, Hybrids, Golf Carts, Bicycles,
and cars with adequate mufflers are not unsafe for persons not paying attention, walking in and near traffic? Each person
walking in traffic should wake up and watch for traffic hazards. We don't need more Federal Regulation to protect congressmen
from what they should do for themselves.
Question of the Day: Do you agree with Congressman Cliff Stearns and Democrat partners in the new Auto Noise Benefits
Bill, future autos must meet new federal regulations requiring cars to make more noise to help people walking in traffic while
not paying attention? Recent legislation is advanced after congressman and wife felt unsafe walking in traffic and paying
attention to on coming automobiles.
It is unknown how much it will cost to make cars
safer so Cliff Stearns and others can be safe without actually paying attention while walking in traffic.
Current
Federal Regulation requires auto manufactures to reduce noise with extensive muffling devices. New Cliff Stearns Bill
in congress requires additional sweeping regulation to create noise because many people apparently walk in traffic and more
noise is needed to help them AVOID INJURIES BECAUSE THEY OFTEN ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION WHILE AT RISK.
A Heart
of survey finds zero support for expanding the federal government to make cars quieter and louder than they currently are.
Congress must get a muffle on their expanded sense of importance. Drivers have horns currently mandated to achieve
what the congressman and his wife need for noise to help them pay attention according to EDC Director Christopher Beville.
