EVERY DAY 12 AMERICANS ARE MURDERED BY MEXICANS AND 8 CHILDREN SEXUALLY MOLESTED!
Here’s How A Liberal Father Whose Son Was Killed By An Illegal Alien Is Fighting CA’s Sanctuary Law
Here’s How A Liberal Father Whose
Son Was Killed By An Illegal Alien Is Fighting CA’s Sanctuary Law
California
could easily become ground zero for the immigration fight. It became a
sanctuary state earlier this year, prompting a Department of Justice lawsuit,
saying the state is hampering federal agencies enforcing federal immigration
laws. Los Alamitos already voted to opt out of
the sanctuary law. Orange County Sheriff’s Department said that not only do
they support the DOJ
lawsuit against California’s sanctuary status, but will publicly post inmate
release dates to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement
arrest illegals who shouldn’t be here. Yet, for one father, the fight began
almost ten years ago. Don Rosenberg of Westlake Village, California, which
rests outside of Los Angeles, is not a raging Tea Party conservative. He’s a
liberal. His son, Drew, was also a liberal, went to college, spent a year in
London, and had visited San Francisco many times. Drew spoke highly of
then-Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom. On November 16, 2010, Roberto Galo,
killed his son in a motor accident. He was an unlicensed driver, who had
entered the country illegally, though the district attorney told him that Galo
had Temporary Protective Status. Rosenberg still maintains that an illegal
alien, who was spared the justice of the law, killed his son. He blames Newsom,
who instituted a policy of not impounding cars of those who did not have a
driver’s licenses. Townhall was given Rosenberg’s letter he sent to Newsom in
2013. Rosenberg said that he spoke with Newsom’s Chief of Staff at the time,
Deidre Hussley, who assured him that Newsom would see the letter. Five years
later, he’s still waiting. Below is an excerpt from his letter to Newsom. The
full letter is posted below.
Little did he know that a “policy” (an illegal policy at that)
that you instigated just two months after he arrived would lead to his death
almost to the day a year later.
That “policy” of course was your decision to stop impounding
cars of unlicensed drivers. At 5:30 P.M. on November, 16, 2010 Roberto
Galo, an unlicensed driver, made a last second left turn at the corner of
Harrison and 16th street. Drew who was coming home from law school on his
motorcycle collided with the front corner of Galo’s car. As it was rush hour
Drew was going about 10 MPH. Galo who had been at a complete stop only drove
about 20 feet so he wasn’t going fast either. Drew flew over the front of
Galo’s car. Galo instead of stopping accelerated and drove over Drew’s body.
His helmet had come off and lodged under one of Galo’s tires stopping his
forward movement. He then backed up driving over Drew a second time and then
trying to flee drove forward again. A driver had gotten out of his car and
stood in front of Galo’s. Only then did he stop. His tire was on Drew’s abdomen
and five men had to lift the car off of him.
We were told the next day that Galo was here illegally but a few
days later we were told that he was in the country legally. Actually he was in
the country under Temporary Protective Status (TPS) but I was never told that
by the DA’s office. We were also told that he had been stopped a few months
before for driving the wrong way on a one way street, driving without a license
and driving without insurance. We were told that his car was impounded but that
he got it back the next day. I asked the DA’s office for months how that case
was adjudicated. It took months to get an answer. At his hearing in late
July 2010 (after he had been driving again for 45 days)the driving without a
license and without insurance charges were dropped in return for him
pleading guilty for driving the wrong way on a one way street. What a
tough deal that must have been to negotiate. The DA’s office to this day
refuses to tell me if he ever paid the ticket.
The full story is
enclosed in a document entitled “My Story” so I won’t go into all of it here
but let me add one more thing. He was eventually convicted of vehicular
manslaughter and driving without a license and sentenced to six months in jail.
He served 43 days. Once I found out he was in the country legally which meant
he was eligible to get a driver’s license I immediately told the ADA on our
case that there is a reason he doesn’t have a license and it is important to
know what that reason is. After bugging her for months she told me that DMV
wasn’t responding to her. I kept badgering her and she told me about a month
later that DMV didn’t keep records on non-licensed drivers. I knew that she was
lying and had that confirmed months later when I spoke to a high level DMV
director who told me that they basically kept records in perpetuity. She told
me that if he had failed the test that would remain on his record until he
passed. Of course because of privacy reasons she couldn’t tell me what, if
anything, was in his file. The afternoon after Galo was sentenced I found out
that he had failed the driving test twice before he was caught in June 2010 and
then once more before he killed my son. I was also told by the new ADA on
the case that it took him one phone call and 5 minutes to get that information.
So you drive without a license, fail the test twice and when you’re caught the
charges are dropped.
Rosenberg makes it clear he’s not immigrant bashing. This isn’t
about the immigrant community; it’s about the illegal immigrant community and
the hurdles he had to go through just to get some basic answers from the DMV.
Someone who reportedly was not supposed to be here killed an American
citizen—and the state made it difficult for a grieving father to find
answers.
Now, Newsom is lieutenant governor of California, seen very much
as the successor to Jerry Brown. Newsom has taken a different attitude towards
ICE, calling the agency chief, Thomas Homan, an “A-plus prick,” even though as
mayor he referred illegal
aliens who were minors to ICE. Even after the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors voted to adjust the policy to refer those illegal aliens who were
minors to ICE upon conviction of a crime in 2009, not a merely for just an
arrest, Newsom simply ignored them.
As
Rosenberg waits for a reply from Newsom, he’s been active in a group he’s
leading called Fight Sanctuary
State. His goal: to prevent the tragedy that struck his
family from happening to anyone else:
I’m trying to stop this from happening to other people,”
Rosenberg said of losing his son Drew, a street-savvy law-school student who
took a keen interest in news and politics like his father.
Rosenberg was among families from across the nation who attended
the official launch of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Victims
of Immigration Crime Engagement Office on Wednesday in Washington, D.C. The
office is designed to support victims of crimes committed by “criminal aliens.”
“I’m really happy
they’re doing this because I know what my wife and I had to go through — you’re
finding your way because no one was really giving us any help,” the retired
entertainment executive said.
Rosenberg, a former
Democrat who today doesn’t identify with any political party, usually receives
several calls a month from bereaved family members seeking information about a
criminal living in the country illegally or they are searching for legal and
financial help in the wake of a crime. He shares his personal experience, he
said, and now will refer them to the VOICE office for greater support.
“The illegal aliens are
not victims; they are the perpetrators,” Rosenberg said. “Many of them are
nice, hardworking people … but there’s more than enough crime” that they
commit.
In November, Rosenberg
spearheaded a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the FBI, the Federal
Bureau of Prisons and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice
Programs in order to obtain crime statistics involving undocumented immigrants.
The suit, filed by the Washington D.C.-based Immigration Reform Law Institute —
the legal arm of the Federation for American Immigration Reform — has resulted
in the release of some data that he and the nonprofit law firm are now
reviewing.
“What
I’ve hoped to accomplish all along is to get the truth out so people can make
the decisions based on truth and not lies,” Rosenberg said.
This issue is one of many that have exposed how far left the
Democratic Party has become; a) they don’t understand that for many of these
families who had loved ones killed by illegals, these people would still be
alive if political correctness didn’t get in the way of enforcing the law; b)
what’s so controversial about deporting people who shouldn’t be here? This
isn’t a game of running bases; you just don’t get to be safe and live here just
because you evaded authorities at the border. The law says you have to
go.
The group has been working on an amendment to the California
state constitution, which contains rational provisions, which will surely
infuriate the more left wing members of the Democratic Party. The outline and
proposed text of the amendment was given to Townhall. Here’s a rough outline:
1.The re-establishment of local law enforcement working with ICE
when they arrest someone suspected of being here illegally.
2.If this person is an illegal alien, the call to ICE is a no
longer a political treacherous endeavor. Local agencies, like the DMV and local
county registrar of voters also occurs,
3.The abolition of driver’s licenses to those who can’t prove
their legal status.
4.Only citizens can vote in elections, with registration forms
verifying citizenship under penalty of perjury.
5.The county must save evidence of citizenship for new voters
for at least four years.
These are hardly controversial provisions. We’ll see what
happens. While the state of California keeps fighting those victimized by
illegal aliens, Mr. Rosenberg and Fight Sanctuary State are carrying on with
their agenda to ensure that federal immigration laws are enforced and
honored.
Full Letter:
January 2, 2013
Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom
State Capitol, Suite 1114
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Lt. Governor Newsom:
In August 2009, my son moved to San Francisco to begin law
school. Although he grew up in Westlake Village, attended college in Arizona
and lived in London for a year he visited San Francisco many times as many of
his friends went to undergraduate school there and many remained to live and
work.
Having grown up in an extremely liberal and political household
the politics of San Francisco were not a concern for him and was actually a
selling point. In fact, he thought you were a great mayor and sometime after he
moved there he sent me a very positive article about you in one of the city
papers. He was also excited when he heard that you were going to run for
governor.
Little did he know that a “policy” (an illegal policy at that)
that you instigated just two months after he arrived would lead to his death
almost to the day a year later.
That “policy” of course was your decision to stop impounding
cars of unlicensed drivers. At 5:30 P.M. on November, 16, 2010 Roberto
Galo, an unlicensed driver, made a last second left turn at the corner of
Harrison and 16th street. Drew who was coming home from law school on his
motorcycle collided with the front corner of Galo’s car. As it was rush hour
Drew was going about 10 MPH. Galo who had been at a complete stop only drove
about 20 feet so he wasn’t going fast either. Drew flew over the front of
Galo’s car. Galo instead of stopping accelerated and drove over Drew’s body.
His helmet had come off and lodged under one of Galo’s tires stopping his
forward movement. He then backed up driving over Drew a second time and then
trying to flee drove forward again. A driver had gotten out of his car and
stood in front of Galo’s. Only then did he stop. His tire was on Drew’s abdomen
and five men had to lift the car off of him.
We were told the next day that Galo was here illegally but a few
days later we were told that he was in the country legally. Actually he was in
the country under Temporary Protective Status (TPS) but I was never told that
by the DA’s office. We were also told that he had been stopped a few months
before for driving the wrong way on a one way street, driving without a license
and driving without insurance. We were told that his car was impounded but that
he got it back the next day. I asked the DA’s office for months how that case
was adjudicated. It took months to get an answer. At his hearing in late
July 2010 (after he had been driving again for 45 days) the driving without a
license and without insurance charges were dropped in return for him
pleading guilty for driving the wrong way on a one way street. What a
tough deal that must have been to negotiate. The DA’s office to this day
refuses to tell me if he ever paid the ticket.
The full story is enclosed in a document entitled “My Story” so
I won’t go into all of it here but let me add one more thing. He was eventually
convicted of vehicular manslaughter and driving without a license and sentenced
to six months in jail. He served 43 days. Once I found out he was in the
country legally which meant he was eligible to get a driver’s license I
immediately told the ADA on our case that there is a reason he doesn’t have a
license and it is important to know what that reason is. After bugging her for
months she told me that DMV wasn’t responding to her. I kept badgering her and
she told me about a month later that DMV didn’t keep records on non-licensed
drivers. I knew that she was lying and had that confirmed months later when I
spoke to a high level DMV director who told me that they basically kept records
in perpetuity. She told me that if he had failed the test that would remain on
his record until he passed. Of course because of privacy reasons she couldn’t
tell me what, if anything, was in his file. The afternoon after Galo was
sentenced I found out that he had failed the driving test twice before he was
caught in June 2010 and then once more before he killed my son. I was
also told by the new ADA on the case that it took him one phone call and 5
minutes to get that information. So you drive without a license, fail the test
twice and when you’re caught the charges are dropped.
You not only set this “policy” in motion but you hired George
Gascón for Police Chief and you then appointed him to fill DA Harris’s position
when she was elected Attorney General. You and many others are as responsible
for my son’s death as Roberto Galo. You and many others are responsible for the
death of many other people at the hands of unlicensed drivers and thousands of
injuries and tens of thousands of collisions. Of course the question is why
would you do this?
I’ve not only been researching this issue for the past two years
but I’ve testified twice in Sacramento, numerous times in front of the Los
Angeles Police Commission and appeared on many radio and television programs
and news broadcasts. There are three reasons:
1. Kindness and a big heart – People
feel the plight of illegal aliens and want to make their life better.
2. Political Pressure – All of the
immigration groups (really illegal alien groups, in fact a September survey
showed that 49% of Hispanics in California who are citizens do not want illegal
aliens to have driver’s licenses) scream and yell and certainly in California
the politicians give in more often than not. [VOTES]
3. Ignorance – This wouldn’t be the
first time that a decision was made without doing any research or thinking
about the repercussions from those actions.
I won’t attempt to classify your reason except to say everyone
else I’ve dealt with from the California Legislature to the LAPD has succumbed
to political pressure. This isn’t to say that these people aren’t kind but they
were either already aware of the dangers, should have been aware or were definitely
aware after my presentations.
Let’s look at some of the statements made by you, Gascón, police
spokesperson Mariles and some anonymous police when you initiated this “death
sentence” for so many.
You:
• “police Chief George Gascón
worked hard on this policy and felt “it was the right thing to do.”
• The policy is intended to
balance the immigrant communities concerns with those of the police and to
“build trust in the community”
• You rejected the idea that
the new policy would allow undocumented immigrants to flout the law
• “Changing the policy – for
20 minutes –to me is not skirting that.” “The issue is being blown out of
proportion”
Gascón:
• “We recognize that this is a
problem within the Hispanic Community, where people working here can’t get a
driver’s license because of their immigration status”
• Unlicensed drivers will be
cited and subject to fine. “We’re stopping them from driving. We’re replacing a
licensed and uninsured driver with a licensed and insured driver”
• Gascón also argued that the
new policy should “discourage unlicensed drivers from fleeing the scene.”
• Gascón asserts that the new
policy “has nothing to do with immigration per se” –as it could apply to people
who can’t afford to get a license or undergo driver training. “It’s a much
broader population.”
• San Francisco is “trying to
be sensitive to all of the communities we serve.”
• “unlicensed drivers will
still be cited. If they don’t learn their lesson and repeat offend, the car
will be impounded.”
Police Spokesperson Mariles:
• “This is not a policy about
undocumented residents, it’s about unlicensed drivers and it applies to
everyone regardless of immigration status.”
• Acknowledged the policy
arose out of immigrant community concerns, including financial hardship.
• “But we think this is
definitely a way to ensure better, safer streets.”
• “And we think it’s
progressive, we think its forward thinking, and we think other (police)
departments will take notice.”
Anonymous Police Officers and a Traffic Cop:
• People without licenses are
often lousy drivers – and the change means more dangerous streets for
everyone.”
• “These are the same people
who are sailing through stops signs and injuring people’, said one traffic cop
who asked not to be named for fear of retribution.
So how hard did Gascón work on this policy? Did he look at any
of the numerous studies done by the DMV and the two (at the time) done by the
AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. They all said that unlicensed drivers were
5x’s more likely to cause a fatal collision. They said that unlicensed drivers
were 5x’s more likely to drive drunk and 10x’s more likely to flee. Did
he look at state law? Vehicle Code 14607.4 says:
(f) It is necessary and appropriate to take additional steps to
prevent unlicensed drivers from driving, including the civil forfeiture of
vehicles used by unlicensed drivers. The state has a critical interest in
enforcing its traffic laws and in keeping unlicensed drivers from illegally
driving. Seizing the vehicles used by unlicensed drivers serves a significant
governmental and public interest, namely the protection of the health, safety,
and welfare of Californians from the harm of unlicensed drivers, who are
involved in a disproportionate number of traffic incidents, and the avoidance
of the associated destruction and damage to lives and property.
Or how about Vehicle Code 14607.6 which states:
(c) (1) If a driver is unable to produce a valid driver's
license on the demand of a peace officer enforcing the provisions of this code,
as required by subdivision (b) of Section 12951, the vehicle shall be impounded
regardless of ownership, unless the peace officer is reasonably able, by other
means, to verify that the driver is properly licensed. Prior to impounding a
vehicle, a peace officer shall attempt to verify the license status of a driver
who claims to be properly licensed but is unable to produce the license on
demand of the peace officer.
No, he felt that it was “the right thing to do”. Screw the fact
that it was/is illegal.
You think we need to balance the immigrant communities concerns.
What other laws is it okay for them to break so as to balance their concerns?
How many law abiding people’s injuries and deaths are acceptable to balance the
immigrant communities concerns? And don’t blame this on the immigrant
community. You are talking about the illegal alien community.
You rejected the idea that the new policy would allow
undocumented immigrants to flout the law. The recidivism rate is over 90% and
there are estimated to be over 1.2 million illegal alien drivers. Would you
like to retract that statement?
“Changing the policy – for 20 minutes –to me is not skirting
that.” It’s not the 20 minutes. It’s the fact that the unlicensed driver is
getting right back behind the wheel as soon as the police leave. The person who
comes to get the car parks his car a few blocks away and walks to pick up the
unlicensed drivers car. He then drives back to his car and the unlicensed
driver drives away. “The issue is being blown out of proportion” Will you say
that to my face?
Gascón recognizes that this is a problem within the Hispanic
Community, where people working here can’t get a driver’s license because of
their immigration status. What’s wrong with that statement? Well first don’t
blame the Hispanic Community. Blame the illegal alien community. Second, those
people aren’t allowed to work here. But the main issue is they can’t get a
license to drive because it’s against the law. And he’s the police chief and
now the District Attorney.
Gascón said, “We’re stopping them from driving” Is he a
fool or does he think everyone else is?
The new policy should “discourage unlicensed drivers from
fleeing the scene.” I’m also enclosing a story that was published in LA Weekly
last month. The story is about how in Los Angeles in 2011 the rate of hit and
run injury collisions was 48% compared to a national average of 11%. They used
statistics that I got from LAPD. Do you think San Francisco is any better?
In what could be one of the dumbest statements ever made by a
police chief and should have gotten him fired (instead you made him the DA)
Gascón said the new policy, “has nothing to do with immigration per se as it
could apply to people who can’t afford to get a license or undergo driver
training.” Well of course it has everything to do with (illegal)
immigration. But that’s not the dumb part. No, it’s not dumb it’s outrageous
and insulting. The cost of a driver’s license is $31 for five (5) years. If you
can’t afford that how can you afford to drive or buy insurance, even at the
minimum level which is essentially worthless? The next part is doubly
outrageous and insulting. In case you didn’t know there is no requirement to
pay for drivers training. Anyone with a license over 18 can train you. But
that’s not the worst part. Even if you had to pay for driver training the chief
of police is saying even if you don’t learn how to drive it’s still okay to
drive. And you were okay with that?
“If they don’t learn their lesson and repeat offend the car will
be impounded”. Call your buddy George and ask him how many cars from repeat
offenders have been impounded since this policy began. As you will see in the
new DMV study released on December 20, 2012 unlicensed drivers frequently give
fake names when caught so they never show up as repeat offenders and since San
Francisco’s policy is to never prosecute unlicensed drivers (until they kill someone
and even then not always) they never know who it is they are issuing a
citation. In fact I have been told by various police in San Francisco that most
of the time they never pay the ticket because there is no way to trace a fake
name and a fake address. I know in Los Angeles there are over 1 million
warrants for failure to pay these tickets that match up to no one.
Police spokesperson Mariles said that this wasn’t a policy about
undocumented residents, it’s about unlicensed drivers. Yes and Virginia’s trans
vaginal probe law isn’t about women, it applies to everyone. In February 2012 a
bicyclist killed a 72 year old man. Gascón got personally involved in the case
(he’s refused to ever speak to me and my wife). He said there would be a
crackdown on bike riders and that, “the rules of the road apply to everyone”.
In 2011, 899 pedestrians were hit by automobiles. Bicycles hit 17 people.
San Francisco has the highest per capita pedestrian collisions, the
highest per capita pedestrian death and the highest per capita auto collisions
and fatalities in the state. Are cars being impounded? Are unlicensed
drivers being prosecuted? I think not.
Mariles acknowledged that the policy arose out of community
concerns, including financial hardships. So we jeopardize public safety for all
because people who have already broken the law coming here have financial
hardships. I pay taxes so their kids can go to school. I pay taxes so their
kids (and them) can get medical attention and then you let them kill my son
because they have financial hardships?
And the topper of them all. This one is so good that LAPD chief
Charlie Beck is even using it. “But we think this is definitely a way to ensure
better, safer streets.” Of course when I asked Charlie how allowing unlicensed
drivers to drive makes the streets safer he refused to answer. So let me ask
you. How does allowing people who have never demonstrated knowledge of our
driving laws, many of whom can’t speak English and read the traffic signs and
none of whom have been eye tested to see if they can even see the signs
possibly make the streets safer?
And last but certainly not least. “And we think it’s
progressive, we think its forward thinking, and we think other (police)
departments will take notice. Well here’s what I know. It is pandering to a
specific group to garner votes. It’s so forward thinking that we should also
dissolve the DMV. Everyone hates them anyway and think of all the money we
would save. And many police departments have taken notice and have adopted the
same policy. Maybe that is why California was one of the few states that
actually had an increase in traffic fatalities in 2011.
When I first testified in Sacramento in July 2011 against “One
Kill” Gil Cedillo’s bill to stop impounding cars of unlicensed drivers at
sobriety checkpoints my focus was on public safety. I didn’t want this
discussion to turn into immigrant bashing. The Public Safety Committee (or
should I say the Democrats on the Committee) did not give a damn that my son
was killed. All they cared about was the sob story from an illegal alien who
had his car impounded and lost his job. They listened to every lie spewed by
Cedillo and passed the bill. Jerry Brown signed it. I then went to testify in
front of the LA Police Commission. Commissioner John Mack had the audacity to
say to me, “Have you no compassion”. I never started to research illegal
unlicensed drivers. I started at unlicensed drivers and it took me to illegal
aliens.
I have been a liberal my whole life (much longer than you). This
tragedy has not changed my politics. However, I have never been an ideolog.
Just as the Tea Party and many Republicans refuse, despite all of the evidence,
to accept global warming I will not refuse to see the dangers caused by illegal
aliens despite all of the evidence which extends way beyond driving.
From everything I knew about you prior and my son’s affection
for you I believe you are a good man who truly has some forward thinking
visionary ideas. I would have supported you over Jerry Brown in a second. I
said I wouldn’t classify your reason for making this decision but I will. I
believe like everyone else you took that position for votes. You knew you were
going to run for governor. Kamala Harris supported it because she knew she was
running for statewide office and Gascón was probably thinking (and still is) of
running for mayor. Although it’s certainly a character flaw I will assume you
didn’t get any statistics or research before you made your decision. If you did
and made the decision anyway this whole letter has been a waste of time.
So you owe me a debt you can never repay. My son is dead and
nothing will bring him back. As I have said to that rotten DA’s office in San
Francisco, “You will not make my son a statistic”. I have been active in trying
to get the laws enforced for one reason and that is to try and save other lives
and the pain and suffering my wife and I, my other two children and my son’s
girlfriend (to have been his fiancé after law school) will endure for the rest
of our lives. I’m doing this because had someone else taken a stand before
November 16, 2010 my son might be alive today. If you are the man I think you
are you will contact me and help me fix the deadly mess you helped create and
perpetuate.
You should know that I have worked closely with Senator Pavley’s
office. They have been wonderful. Ex-Assemblywoman and unfortunately my new
congresswoman Julie Brownley and I are not on speaking terms anymore. My
ex-Congressman Henry Waxman has been helpful and I have also met with Congressman
Adam Schiff. Adam was an ex-federal prosecutor. He examined the record of how
the San Francisco DA’s office handled this case. His response in writing, “The
way your son’s case was handled in SF is beyond appalling”. If you read “My
Story” you will see why.
Despite San Francisco’s leadership in collisions and deaths last
year Assemblywoman Ma introduced a bill to stop impounding cars of unlicensed
drivers for almost any reason. I testified against that bill in front of the
transportation committee. When Chairman Desaulnier asked her if she was aware
of the latest AAA study (also enclosed) she said she had never seen it.
Fortunately, the committee defeated the bill although almost no one is
impounding cars in California anymore anyway.
Senator Pavley’s office hand delivered two letters to your “good
friend” Jerry Brown. He refused to even acknowledge them. I have written to
Kamala Harris three times. The first letter took 8 months to get a response
that at best was insulting. The second letter was never responded to and the
third hand delivered by Waxman’s office this past September has never been
responded to. I have enclosed them all.
I could bury you in case after horrible case of people getting
killed not only by unlicensed drivers but repeat unlicensed drivers. Over 7,000
people a year are killed by unlicensed drivers in the United States. While that
also includes people with suspended and revoked (S/R) licenses, as I have been
told by many police and some DA’s, “How can we crack down on them (S/R) when we
do nothing to the people who drive without a license”. Unlicensed driver deaths
are second in number to drunk driving deaths but while drunk driving deaths are
declining unlicensed driver deaths are not. In fact on a per capita basis
unlicensed drivers kill more people than any other crime in the United States.
Since the massacre of 20 children and 6 adults in Newtown on December 14, 380
people have been killed by unlicensed drivers. About 75 were children.
A few weeks ago, speaking about marijuana you said, “These laws
just don't make sense anymore. It’s time for politicians to come out of the
closet on this." It is. It’s also time for them to come out of the closet
and demand and strengthen the laws on unlicensed drivers.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Don Rosenberg
