Chico resists SUV invasion

by moth
SUVs are pushing their way into Chico by coercing Chico city council to increase non-truck road carrying capacity from 6,000 to 14,000. SUVs reduce air quality and increase petroleum dependency, continuing the US occupation of Iraq..
Tuesday 16th evening at Chico City council gas-guzzling SUVs are given green light to ride on non-truck roads that suddenly increased their carrying capacity from 6,000 lbs to 14,000 lbs in a moment's notice. Somehow the words of the city council Tuesday night will add so much support to the pavement that the tree roots underneath will not be suffocated by the increase of pressure from the SUVs. Never mind the children playing outside who breath air..

American soldiers and Iraqi civilians are killing one another in the streets of Fallujah, Baghdad and throughout Iraq so that petroleum is available for SUV consumption. Bush, Cheney and other petroleum interests continue to profit at the excess petroleum sales in our SUV gas guzzling culture.

The increased combustion of oxygen by SUVs also depletes the air quality of cities like Chico, LA, Fresno, etc. and offers childern a carbon monoxide/nitrogen dioxide mixture that has shown to cause asthma, lung cancer, low level carbon monoxide poisoning (more CO, less O2 4 iron in hemoglobin), and other respiratory ailments..

Maybe the people of Chico will express how they feel about this at the public comment, our outside city hall in protest of the continued killing in Fallujah by the GW Bush-Queda/Saudi petroleum cabal and their SUV culture..
