Long Term Goals...

I feel the emotions of the moment have been overpowering our full statement of what needs to be done. We have been thrust into this position of leading and organizing, and I must apologize for the slow growth of the site's content. I am building and maintaining pages as fast as one man can...as well as handling important emails.

So you are aware of our long term goals, here are a few to mention...

1. Immediate stoppage to the subsidies being given to big oil.
2. Release of Strategic Emergency Reserves and the suspension of current deposits to the SEP.
3. Immediate stoppage of oil exports from our Alaskan reserves, and divert those exports to our countries supply.
4. A decrease in refined diesel exports.
5. A reduction in tax credits being given to big business.
6. Institute a regulatory board to regulate brokers...immediate action to require transparency in broker fees. (ensure passing to drivers full surcharge and fair transportation rates)
7. Institute a regulatory board to regulate insurance brokers.
8. Uniform IFTA Fuel Tax rates for ALL states.
9. Pass legislation protecting the professional driver against shippers, receivers and companies from delaying drivers (causing thousands of uncompensated hours)
[ professional drivers are not rolling warehouses ]
10. Uniform fines for violations for ALL states.

We welcome comments regarding these issues and would like to here from y'all. Either post your comment here, or feel free to email me at silversurfer@theamericandriver.com
