Please consider signing this petition, re importation

Stop using Homeland Security funds to seize imported vehicles, and change the DOT/EPA exemption to 15 years!

The Department of Homeland Security spends a shockingly disproportionate amount of its budget not on security initiatives, but on customs seizures. In particular, importers of grey-market vehicles have been targeted by monies taxpayers have intended to be used to secure our country against terrorism and terrorist activity. We call upon the Executive Branch to immediately cease this wasteful activity, and furthermore to change the DOT/EPA exemption time on grey-market vehicles from 25 years to 15 years (to match the vehicle regulations of Canada), recognizing that the 25-year rule was enacted due to support from special interests such as Mercedes Benz North America.

I am constantly amazed at the amount of money spent on Homeland Security without any review if the spending is in any way effective or just gives the average American a feeling of security.
