I was No. Calif YAF Chairman in the late 60's (appointed by Dana Rohrbacher) and Wyo state Chairman in the 70's. (Also a Wyo delegate to 1980 Rep Nat Conv in Detroit - pledged to Reagan of course.) Now on the issue. Yes, equality before the law is the ideal. BUT, why does that equality have to be making every business equally restricted? The true Free Market solution is to put UPS under the same LESS restrictive rules as FedEx. Keeping FedEx there creates an incentive for UPS and others to lobby to be placed under the same freer (although still not truly free) rules. Hey all you YAF Alumni – put me on your lists.
