Cancel "Platon" billing system for long haul tracks in Russia

Created by K.M. on November 21, 2015

Dear mr. President,

Recently in Russia, a disastrous new toll for long-haul trucks has been adopted, threatening to put them out of business. Acc. to Russian lawmayker Evgeniy Fedorov, this was done by US agents in the Russian government in direct violation of Vladimir Putin's promises made in last year's State of the Nation address. Fedorov believes the long haul truck driver protests sweeping across Russia threaten to disintegrate the country, causing enormous human suffering just like Ukraine's Maidan protests did.

We kindly ask you to influence the US agents in the Russian government to repeal that toll, eliminaing the cause for these potentialy disastrous protests threatening Russia's stability.

Sincerely,
Concerned citizens of Russia.
