NMA Ohio Alert: Vote for Motorists’ Rights on Nov. 8

Next week residents in several suburban Cleveland communities and in Ashtabula will vote on ballot measures that either eliminate or place limits on photo enforcement cameras in their communities.

The National Motorists Association opposes red-light cameras and other automated traffic enforcement systems. Contrary to what camera supporters state, research shows that red-light cameras do not improve safety. (Learn more about the NMA's arguments against red-light cameras here.)

We urge residents to vote as follows on Nov. 8:

South Euclid: Vote YES on Issue 97 to ban the use of photo enforcement cameras.

East Cleveland: Vote YES on Issue 49 to ban the use of photo enforcement cameras.

Garfield Heights: Vote NO on Issue 56 to forbid placement of photo enforcement cameras in school zones and recreational parks.

Ashtabula: Vote YES on Issue 54 to require a law enforcement officer to be present at the photo enforcement camera location to issue the citation.

Many concerned citizens have volunteered countless hours to get these measures on the ballot. Show your appreciation for their hard work by going to the polls next Tuesday. If you have family or friends in these communities, let them know what’s at stake and ask them to vote as well.

Thanks for your support and let's secure a WIN for motorists in Ohio.

NMA State Alert for Virginia: Effort to Repeal Radar Detector Ban Fails

On January 22nd, we sent you this e-mail alert about VA House Bill 674 to repeal the statewide ban on radar detectors.  There was guarded optimism as HB674 moved out of the House Transportation Committee and on to the floor of the entire House for a vote.  Earlier this week, the House voted 61 to 38 to defeat the bill, which was originally proposed by Transportation Committee Chairman Joe May.

Here is a tally of the voting.  We suggest that you convey your appreciation or disgust with their respective votes accordingly.  E-mail addresses for each of the delegates is provided here.  From the same link, under Membership/Contact Information, you can also find individual telephone numbers if you prefer.

Joe May has been a steadfast proponent of repealing the radar detector ban in Virginia.  You might want to send him a sincere thank you for his continuing efforts.

NMA State Alert for Virginia: Online Petition to Repeal Ban on Radar Detectors

The National Motorists Association has set up an online petition at its website www.stoptheban.org to accept signatures from those who oppose Virginia's ban against radar detectors.  We have seen increased interest recently in Virginia to change the law.

 

Spread the word to all you know; it will take a grassroots effort to gather enough signatures to grab the attention of state politicians.  With a significant number of signatures on the petition, we will make sure it is delivered to key politicians with a commensurate amount of publicity.

 

Remember that the November elections are not that far away.  Now is the time to sign up to fight the ban of radar detectors in Virginia.
