Approximately 27 school-aged children die in school bus accidnets each year. Seven were killed in Atlanta, Georgia on March 2, 2007 while riding a school bus. How would you feel if one of that 27 children were your\'s Not all buses have seat belts in them. We must change this and the percentage of deaths in the crashes. We need to get seat belts in public and school buses. In 2001 a bus from Waco Texas to Louisianna crashed killing 35 people, all were ejected or partially ejected. On March 2, 2007 5 young men lost their lives, all 5 were ejected or partially ejected. Many more were injured by ejection on the bridge or in the process of the fall. Many were thrown around the bus causing injury. Are you just going to sit there and let another wreck like the one that involved the Bluffton University baseball team happen Are you going to stand up and make a difference Lives are at stake!! Come on, Help out!! Let\'s get seat belts on all buses!! Do the right thing and join this group!! ***** ATTENTION:************* To those who sign this please do not sign it anonymously as this is going to the United States Congress and for it to be legal it needs to have names on it. If you do sign it anomymously then we will have to delete your signature and ask for you to resign it. Thanks- The Admin.

The feedback I have received from many of you highlights the urgent need for consistent safety standards on all passenger vehicles. I am currently compiling your experiences into a formal report to present to the relevant legislative committees. Your willingness to provide your full names ensures that this document carries the necessary weight for our upcoming official submission.

The momentum behind this initiative has grown significantly in recent weeks. It is becoming increasingly clear that the demand for mandatory seat belts on all buses is a priority for many people across the country.
