Maybe Save The Salt is not the organization to take on the fight. I just called the contact listed on their site -
Stuart Gosswein
Sr. Director, Federal Government Affairs
Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA)
1317 F Street, NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20004
202/783-6007, ext. 30, stuartg@sema.org
and he didn't seem to be aware of the issue at all. I forwarded him all of the links listed above.
