&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;By 5/15/2008, pass legislation to eliminate the REAL ID Act of 2005, helping solve illegal immigration and keep Mexico&#039;s Trucking Companies from having any of their trucks coming beyond the current 2-25 mile limit into the U.S.A. where they exchange freight with U.S.A. trucks. President Bush should enact this legislation by 5/19/2008. By 5/28/2008, the U.S.A. Congress and President Bush should enact the Absolute Advantage Foreign Trade Policy (at least for Mexico) explained below in Urgent Issues 2 and 3.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We (signed below) have several urgent concerns regarding the impact of the construction and operation of the Ethenex Ethanol Plant at Jeffrey Energy Center on the surrounding environment and residents and their property.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We therefore ask for a public hearing on the permit application for the proposed Ethenex Ethanol Plant at Jeffrey Energy Center to address these concerns and to make sure there is ample time for local residents to participate, even those with limited time in their busy work-schedule.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Concern for Impact on the Environment&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Concern for Impact on Traffic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Concern for Taking of Private Property&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Concern for Limited Availability of Important Details&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Concern for Redress and Damages&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
