I received an email from President Obama this week in response to a message which I sent to him in March on the whitehouse.gov Contact Form–asking him to read the Vision Zero Petition Book 3rd Edition which we had delivered to him. The news is not really that great. This is what he said:  Email from President Obama

He expressed sympathy and thanked me for writing, but he did not say that he would do anything about the problem or the requested solution/action/strategy. Please help me make sure that he knows that the people of this country want him to make Traffic Safety a National Priority.

On D-Day, Monday, June 6, 2016, STARTING at NOON (EST), help me flood the media with this message in reply to President Obama (see the sharing links below):

• Share on Twitter: @PresidentObama @POTUS  Do something about 33,000 crash deaths/yr. Make Traffic Safety a National Priority! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX-3CPyGA7c 
• Send a message to @President Obama on Facebook: President Obama, Make Traffic Safety A National Priority 
• Share this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/dOP9H_rOi4w

For more information, see previous post: I got an email from President Obama this week.

President Obama, Do something to help us move more quickly toward zero crash deaths! Make Traffic Safety a National Priority. 

Last night, Pres. Obama referred in the past tense to crash fatalities as a public health problem.

And don’t forget about the crash injuries. In 2013, approximately 2.31 million people were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes.
