I just heard of this yesterday and I like the states that enacted the law. I strongly feel that driving and txting don’t mix, and many people’s lives may be in danger. Thanks for the info.

Over the Christmas holidays my family an d I traveled to Florida to visit with my daughter Heather who was employed at Walt Disney World. As part of this visit we planned to meet at Disney’s wedding planner to discuss plans for Heathers upcoming wedding. This meeting was scheduled for noon on Jnauray 3, 2008.

At 11;30am, while traveling to meet her mom and I at the wedding planner, stopped at a traffic signal, my Heather and ten other vehicles were hit an d run over by a tractor trailer driver who failed to notice the ten cars stopped at the light. My Heather was killed instantly along with another young woman in a different vehicle. The reason the driver didn’t notice is alleged to have been because he was text messaging when the accident occurred.

Since the accident we have started a letter writing campaign an dpetition drive to make Heathers Law a reality not only in our home state of Maryland but across the nation. Heather’s Law would be a comprehensive ban on hand held cell phones and text messaging while driving except in cases of emergency.

Studies now show that the use of cell phones are as dangerous while driving as DUI. Everyone has a Heather in their life. Its time we protect them. We have a new website under construction, http://www.4heather.com that you soon will be able to electronically sign our petition.

I urge you to check out the site, write your state legislators and make Heather’s Law a reality
