Dear Fred, Please read Heather Coil’s important email below. Missouri House Bill 1976 needs to be brought to the floor for a vote immediately, so please call and email Representative John Diehl now: Phone: 573-751-1544 E-Mail: john.di...@house.mo.gov Then click here to sign Missouri Campaign for Liberty’s NO MORE RED LIGHT CAMERAS Petition <http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/19432913:20220392486:m:1:618953597:4006919608788AE3439D0931C8AFE2C8:r> . In Liberty, Deb Wells Senior Director of State Operations Campaign for Liberty Image removed by sender. Campaign for Liberty TWO YEARS. That’s how long a staffer for House Majority Leader John Diehl threatened we will have to wait to pass legislation to BAN Red Light Cameras and Automated Traffic Devices. Why? Because he is upset that we called him and his cronies out for receiving money from American Traffic Solutions. Do you think we should have to wait TWO YEARS to get rid of these invasive, money-grabbing machines? Should Missourians be robbed of their due process rights for TWO YEARS just because leadership would rather keep getting checks from the Red Light Camera companies than represent you? I SAY NO! If John Diehl cares about your rights, he won’t make you wait two years. He won’t make you wait another minute! And he won’t let the money he received from the Red Light Camera companies stop him from doing the right thing and bringing HB 1976 to BAN Red Light Cameras up for a vote IMMEDIATELY! Please call and email Rep. John Diehl today and demand he support and hold a vote on HB-1976 IMMEDIATELY. Rep John Diehl (R-District 87) Phone: 573-751-1544 E-Mail: john.di...@house.mo.gov We can do this RIGHT NOW. . . this legislative session. But I need your help.

Time is of the essence. The legislative session is quickly coming to a close. House Majority Floor Leader Rep. John Diehl is holding our bill to repeal Red Light Cameras hostage in the Missouri House of Representatives. It is Diehl’s job to bring bills up for perfection and a vote, but he is refusing to give his support and dragging his feet. Why won't John Diehl allow an up or down vote in the House on HB-1976? Maybe it's because Diehl receives more campaign contributions from American Traffic Solutions (ATS) - the company that runs the Red Light Cameras - than any other member of the Missouri House. ATS gave him $1500 in 2013 alone - and first quarter campaign donation reporting for 2014 shows that ATS is paying off more of our legislators every single day. Every Red Light Camera in Missouri is an ATM machine for John Diehl and his cronies in the Missouri House and Senate. Instead of cutting out wasteful spending to make ends meet, John Diehl supports the “scamera” scheme to rob us of every penny we earn. Please call and email Rep. John Diehl today and demand he support and hold a vote on HB-1976 IMMEDIATELY. Rep John Diehl (R-District 87) Phone: 573-751-1544 E-Mail: john.di...@house.mo.gov The bill is on the calendar – it’s ready to be brought up. We have done everything we need to do; it’s time for Diehl to represent Missouri and bring HB 1976 up for a vote and BAN Red Light Cameras once and for all! Tell John Diehl: ***** We will NOT accept stall tactics. ***** We will NOT accept him waiting until the end of the session - giving us NO TIME to get it through the Senate and put into law – to bring this to a vote. ***** We will NOT allow him and other members of the legislature to water this bill down with amendments until it is useless. ***** We will NOT be bullied out of our safety, privacy, and constitutional rights by an elected official ***** We will NOT wait TWO YEARS! You see Fred, John Diehl is the Majority Leader in the House, and he thinks he runs the state of Missouri. But he's wrong - this is our state. For too long he's been able to kill bills in the House just because he doesn't like them. We must FORCE Diehl to support our bill and hold a vote in the House on the bill IMMEDIATELY. Tell John Diehl we won’t wait two years – and it is wrong of his staff to even threaten it! Insist that Diehl represents the PEOPLE of Missouri, not the Red Light Camera companies that are paying him. It's downright immoral and against common sense not to repeal Red Light Cameras in Missouri, but then again: ****** John Diehl probably doesn't care that in 2012, a Kansas City, Missouri study found that accidents increased 29% in traffic lanes with Red Light Cameras. ****** He probably doesn't care that one Kansas City intersection had a 121% increase in collisions after installing a Red Light Camera. ****** He probably doesn't care that 87% of the increase was attributed to rear-end collisions, which is what happens when motorists have to slam their brakes to avoid shelling out big bucks for a Red Light Camera ticket. John Diehl must not give a rip because the Red Light Camera company - American Traffic Solutions - is paying him, and to Diehl, money must be more important than your safety. Missouri deserves better. Fred - The time is NOW to repeal Red Light Cameras. Remember, the greatest source of pain for a politician is mobilized, angry voters from within their districts. The time is NOW to repeal Red Light Cameras. In Liberty, Heather Coil Saint Louis County Coordinator Campaign for Liberty P.S. Please call and email Rep.
