I am currently gathering local accident reports to present to the transportation committee. Post this link on Facebook and tag your local representatives to demand a higher fine for distracted driving. Do not stop pushing until the law reflects the danger caused by texting behind the wheel.

The momentum behind this push to increase texting and driving fines is undeniable. Post the campaign link to your Facebook feed right now to keep the pressure on our local officials. Send an email to your representative today demanding that they take this threat to our roads seriously.
