Should Crash Victims Support Sen. Bernie Sanders?
March, 2016
Dear Care for Crash Victims Community Members:
Hillary a Hypocrite
Ralph Nader’s work has resulted in saving an estimated 3.5 million American people from crash deaths. See https://www.careforcrashvictims.com/blog/blog-unsafe/
Ralph Nader who I have found to be an accurate citizen in describing the many problems Americans face and possible solutions has noted Hillary Clinton’s hypocrisy. Seehttp://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/274253-ralph-nader-dubs-clinton-hillary-the-hypocrite
Secretary Clinton’s charge against Sen. Sanders’ vote on gun violence and not a word against vehicle violence, substantiate her dependency on corporate contributors. Seehttps://www.careforcrashvictims.com/blog/blog-hillaryguns/
Numbers of Crash Victims
The U.S. Crash Death Clock now has recorded 3,686,202 deaths and nearly 1 billion injuries from vehicular violence. See https://www.careforcrashvictims.com/clock.php
And the U.S. Crash Meters show that currently on every average day 100 Americans die of crash injuries + 400 suffer major crash injuries + losses = $2 billion. See https://www.careforcrashvictims.com/clock.php
The numbers of family members who suffer from crash losses is unknown but clearly is in the billions.
What if they vote for Sen. Sanders? What if they contributed $1 to his campaign?
Remember: We are all crash victims – past, present, and future – as people injured physically – and financially as tax payers and insurance premium payers.
Note: Sen. Sanders’ position on Health Care for All as a Human Right would have major benefits for crash victims. See his Seattle speech last night at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRafrFgsgJA
Crash Victims’ Organizing Efforts
Consider the attached letter from over 250 Public Health, Safety and Consumer Organizations and Crash Victims’ Families to Congressional Conferees Don’t Sacrifice Safety for Special Industry Interests.
Consider the Marianne Karth family petition on a Vision Zero Policy with more than 20,000 signatures delivered to DOT. See http://www.thepetitionsite.com/417/742/234/save-lives-not-dollars-urge-dot-to-adopt-vision-zero-policy/
Imagine these efforts growing to impact the election this year and ending crash deaths and serious injuries in or by new vehicles in a decade – the next two terms of a President determined to act for the people – not the corporate contributors. This is a realistic goal if enough of us act in time to overcome the corruption.
As former Clinton White House Counselor Bill Curry has written “It’s the corruption. stupid”. See http://www.salon.com/2016/02/23/its_the_corruption_stupid_hillarys_too_compromised_to_see_what_donald_trump_understands/
