| Get Involved! Here's How You Can Make a Difference...
Why get involved? Your life depends on it! Why common sense isn't enough -- click here!
#1: Set an Example and Stay Safe! #1: Set an Example and Stay Safe! If you use a cellular phone in your car, please stay safe and set a good example by pulling over and stopping before making or taking a call. Tell your friends and family to do the same for their safety and everyone else's. Awareness is the first step! If your phone allows you to change the greeting that appears when you first turn it on (and many do), change the greeting to "Morgan Lee" -- a constant reminder that your phone call is not that important!
#2: Write To Your Politicians! Write to your politicians, and let them know you support cellular phone legislation -- be specific! Tell them that you want drivers restricted from the use of cellular phones while driving and that you support strong punishment for those who do not comply. Include pictures of your children, if you have them. In addition to those listed below, please write to your state's Governor, State Senator, and Representative. You can even use the same letter as long as the headings are changed. See below for information on how to find the right addresses or visit the Car Talk website. It features a map of the United States -- just click on your state to find out where to write!

#3: Tell Cell Phone Companies to Take Action!
Next, we urge everyone to write to their own cellular provider and let them know that you support legislation to restrict cellular phone use while driving. Implore them to build and expand their product development in this area which will help alleviate this risk.
