Boy if we don't get our you know what together and oust all the current congress and the president we will end up having to get a permit to go p---. Someone on here has said to vote out all the incumbents looks to be right. Again we need to educate the young people of the freedoms we are losing I really don't think they know how it use to be.
doug - first: if the driver has a cell phone and was NOT on a call the cell phone records would show that - ticket beaten; second: lawmakers are not trying to do away with your freedom of speech - freedom of speech refers to the right to speak without being censored for what you have to say - NOT the ability to make a phone call or not! neither of those facts, however, negate the fact that we should Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians.

btk - you are so right about the folks who think that the cell phone law would be a good law BUT that it should apply to someone other than them!!! since this story hit the news yesterday, the interviews on air and in the papers with the stories of personal justification for being exempt from this potential law are hysterical!
