[urq] SEMA Urgent Legislative Alert: California Lawmaker Trying

[brian hoeft]

I think it was Steve B to quote stating, "preserving your rights as an
owner" ,,and that is the real issue here folks, Property Rights. None of us
truly own our quattros and if we did there wouldnt be this issue. Weve
contracted our rights away and got the 'priviledge' of emissions testing,
inspections, etc. for our 'safety' .. Now only getting worse with Co2
fraudsters..

One of the keys to ur-quatt private property ownership without prejudice is
obtaining the Manufacturers Certificate of Origin. Maybe someone here is
well associated enough with Audi to obtain these records if they werent
destroyed after the so called sale. I would sure like to see one and am
learning how to obtain an actual un_a_lien_able title for my own since MCO's
are hard to obtain, unless you bought your q in lawful money,(ie
gold/silver) in full, originally, and specifically requested it..

If you want a better handle on what im getting at, feel free to learn here:
