Here is a workable sample that can be modified to suit your style. I'd also modify one to send to your Senators and Representatives.
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500-0004
President Obama
I am asking for your support for a project that will protect the environment by reducing the carbon footprint, reduce our demand on foreign oil, save the taxpayers millions of dollars, and create at least 1,500 new American jobs.
This project is Elio Motors,
http://www.eliomotors.com, and I believe that it provides a unique opportunity to reduce our demand for oil and provide a fuel and cost efficient vehicle for the public. This vehicle supports the American auto worker by creating 1500 new jobs at the old GM plant in Shreveport, LA; it is made in America with 95 percent American made parts; has a 5-star crash rating; priced at $6,800; and gets 84 miles per gallon;
In 2012 the government established fuel efficiency standards equivalent of 54.5 mpg for cars and light-duty trucks by Model Year 2025." Currently electric vehicles qualify for a $7,500 tax credit and hybrid vehicles qualify for up to a $7,500 tax credit based on vehicle's battery capacity and its gross vehicle weight rating.
The sections of the IRS code that concern tax credits could be expanded to provide a similar tax credit for any vehicle that meets or exceeds the 2025 standard of 54.5 mpg regardless of power source. There are two sections of the IRS Code
http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Plug-In-Electric-Vehicle-Credit-(IRC-30-and-IRC-30D) and
https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxevb.shtml that could be applied to Elio vehicles to further encourage public support for fuel efficient vehicles and reduce our demand for foreign oil.
The applications for the Elio are unlimited. It could replace many of the Government owned vehicles that cost in excess of $25,000, get less than 30 miles per gallon, and routinely transport one person. The fuel efficiency alone would result in significant savings to the taxpayers. The savings in acquisition costs are astronomical since the $6,800 cost of an Elio represents a reduction of over 70% over the standard government vehicle cost of $25,000.
There are four things your administration can do. First, publicly voice support for Elio Motors. Second, approve an energy efficiency grant to Elio Motors to help get the Elio into production. Third, start replacing government owned vehicles with Elios and contract to purchase a minimum of 1000 Elio vehicles to demonstrate government support of fuel efficient vehicles. And finally, provide tax credits for the purchase of fuel efficient vehicles that exceed the 2025 fuel efficiency standards, regardless of power source.
I am not affiliated with Elio Motors, I am just a concerned citizen and supporter of the American worker and American made products. These actions will help Elio raise public awareness of fuel efficiency standards, employee American workers, increase the American industrial base and enhance the “Made in America” mantra.
It’s time to help reduce our dependence on foreign oil, protect the environment, help the American worker, taxpayers, and the American economy. I encourage you to do everything in your capacity as President to help this happen.
Sincerely
