What about a coordinated effort i.e. a formal letter with a petition/attachment?

I just read where Oregon is close to enacting a new law to protect vulnerable users of the road. Here are the specifics:"The bill provides that when careless driving results in injury or death of a vulnerable user, which includes cyclists, pedestrians, highway workers, horse riders, skateboarders and roller skaters, the driver would face a one-year license suspension and a maximum $12,500 fine. These penalties would not be imposed if the driver completes a traffic safety course and between 100 and 200 hours of community service." Use this info when sending in letters. It still doesn't go far enough in my book, but it's a start and holds the drivers reponsible for thier actions or inactions on the road.

1--jeff, whatever gets done gets done. i just want folks to DO something.
2--i would not even MENTION the community service option. i'd like 30 days mandatory minimum for death [it's a bit more serious than an owi, after all].
but i just want folks to get off their collective asses and DO something.
and to you two, thanks for reading and writing!
hey, rodrigo!
this is the united states, dude.
if you intend to spam and hack your way into my blog just to sell some stupid t-shirts,
the LEAST you could do is
do it in ENGLISH!
some of my readers won't understand what you're doing, and they're likely to think . . .
well, who knows WHAT the hell they're likely to think?
and getting them to think is MY job!
STOP DOING MY JOB! [see? nafta has lost ANOTHER american job!]
