In Liberty, Deb Wells Senior Director of State Operations Campaign for Liberty Campaign forLiberty <http://www.chooseliberty.org/images/Header-3.jpg> Dear Fred, Cha-ching, cha-ching. . . This is the sound that inspires Representative Dave Hinson. This is the sound that gets his attention. It's also the reason he supports plastering every roadway in Missouri with Red Light Cameras. Every Red Light Camera in Missouri is an ATM machine for Dave Hinson and his allies in the Missouri House and Senate. Instead of cutting out wasteful spending to make ends meet, Dave Hinson invents new schemes to rob us of every penny we earn. Every time you're blinded by the flash of a Red Light Camera in Missouri, you can thank Dave Hinson. Every time you have to slam on the brakes at a shortened yellow light, thank Dave Hinson. Every time you're hit with a Red Light Camera ticket that costs you and your family big bucks – even when you weren’t even driving the car - thank Dave Hinson. Dave Hinson is assessing the Red Light Camera stealth tax unfairly on drivers. And even worse, Dave Hinson and his colleagues are treating you like you are stupid. You see, while we have been working tirelessly to promote House Bill 1976 which BANS Red Light Cameras and Automated Traffic Devices (like speed cameras), Dave Hinson and his money-hungry friends in the Missouri House and Senate probably think you aren’t paying attention. They probably think they can sneak a bad bill past you and pull the wool over your eyes. They probably think that you don’t care enough about your constitutional rights, privacy, and safety to stop them. But they are WRONG! Hinson’s bill, House Bill 1557, which LEGITIMIZES Red Light Cameras, passed the Missouri House earlier this session and has been moving quickly, but quietly, through the Senate. We must stop this bill immediately!

But before you do, let me explain why this is so important. Missouri courts have been throwing out Red Light Camera tickets for years. But Dave Hinson wants these tickets to stick – and he isn’t concerned about compromising you and your family’s safety to do it. You see, current Missouri law states that running a red light is a moving violation and must assess points to your drivers license. Since most Red Light Camera tickets don’t assess points and violate this Missouri law, they are often thrown out in the courts by anyone who challenges them. But since the company that runs the cameras, American Traffic Solutions, donates to Hinson’s campaign, he found a way to please his donors and trick the public at the same time. Hinson introduced a bill to make it legal for Red Light Cameras to not assess points. This little change to Missouri law in Hinson’s bill makes Red Light Cameras LEGAL in Missouri. And he probably thinks you are too stupid to realize it. He probably thinks you don’t care enough about your privacy to care – that you don’t mind him putting your safety at risk so he can secure more campaign donations for himself and his colleagues. So won’t you sign our No More Red Light Camera Petition <http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/19513088:20287750044:m:1:618953597:9FBDC25DFC929FA320B4C6D7145415C6:r> and then click here to find your Missouri Senator <http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/19513087:20287750044:m:1:618953597:9FBDC25DFC929FA320B4C6D7145415C6:r> , and call and email them and DEMAND that they vote NO on HB 1557 and support nothing short of a FULL BAN on Red Light Cameras before it is too late? Why am I so insistent that you do this? Because your constitutional rights, privacy, and safety are too important not to. Because you are too good to stand idly by while a politician passes laws to line their pockets. ELEVEN members of the Missouri Senate are receiving donations from American Traffic Solutions - just like Hinson. That is almost 1/3 of the Senate! We must let them know they were elected to represent the PEOPLE – not the Red Light Camera company that is paying them! The following Missouri Senators received donations from American Traffic Solutions in 2013: Brown, District 16 Chappelle-Nadal, District 14 Justus, District 10 Keaveny, District 4 Kehoe, District 6 Munzlinger, District 18 Nasheed, District 5 Richard, District 32 Schaefer, District 19 Sifton, District 1 Silvey, District 17 And they probably don’t care that in 2012, a Kansas City, Missouri study found that accidents increased 29% in the traffic lanes with Red Light Cameras. They probably don’t care that one Kansas City intersection had a 121% increase in collisions after installing a Red Light Camera. They probably don’t care that 87% of that increase was attributed to rear-end collisions – which is what happens when motorists have to slam on their brakes to avoid shelling out big bucks for a Red Light Camera ticket. They probably don’t care because the Red Light Camera company is paying them, and to them, money is more important than your safety. Missouri deserves better. And we shouldn’t let Hinson get away with passing this terrible bill disguised as “reform.” The politicians still don’t get it. We don’t want reform. We want repeal. The time is now to repeal Red Light Cameras, but we have to stop House Bill 1557 to do it. Legislators in both parties tell us they’re “with us,” but when it comes to voting in defense of our liberties, they fail the test. Now it’s time to hold these politicians accountable. We must not advocate for reform or modification of the law; we must fight for complete Red Light Camera repeal and nothing less. In Liberty, Heather Coil Saint Louis County Coordinator Campaign for Liberty P.S. We need your help NOW to stop Representative Dave Hinson’s bill to legitimize Red Light Cameras in Missouri (HB-1557). We need all hands on deck to stop this bill.
