The Volkswagen campervan has gone by many names and models throughout the years, and these van's are an icon of freedom and freespirit in the United States. Because the van's are classified as a light truck in the United States, they accrue a 25% chicken tax on importation.

Volkswagen continues to offer a camper model in Europe called the "California". They have stated that they are not planning on bringing it to the US partially due to the high tax, which reduces interest as that tax is added to the purchase price.

Many of our parents, uncles and aunts, and even grandparents have stories relating to an old VW they had or knew. These vehicles inspired long road trips, time with friends, and many stories.

If we contact and show Congress, The President, and VW that this outdated, WWII tax should not be reflected in the current world economy, maybe we can bring this wonderful piece of machinery back to the US.
