Below are just a few comments from my petition. Please take the time to read them.
"My 2 children’s safety"
"A distracted driver is responsible for the death of my daughter."
"My Jessica"
"Jessica was a dear friend of mine, and I know that this young lady’s efforts must not go unheard. There has to be change so no one else has to try to navigate through life after such a devastating loss. The Butler Family is one for the strongest family units I have ever have to privilege of knowing. They’ve all been such a blessing to my family and I in this lifetime."
"I love and miss Jessica and want to save life’s!"
"I don’t want another person to die as a result of someone texting and driving!!"
"People are wreckless and killing people"
"Cell phones are a major distraction."
"Too many young people are dying due to distractive driving"
"I want my child to drive safely."
"To keep all of us safer!"
"Safety!"
"Make the roads safer"
"Hoping you are watching this from heaven. It’s pretty amazing. We all miss you ♥️"
"every life is valuable and important to someone, whether they are a stranger to you or not. It’s just considerate and precautious to not text and drive, you could be the one saving a life or being saved."
"I agree with you. No one should lose a loved one, or have a loved one harmed by distracted and/or impaired. Thank you for your commitment, and I am sorry for your loss. Stay strong, and thank you! Sharon"
"Safer roads for my family and friends"
"Too many people die every year from idiots reading their phones and driving."
"I’m signing to make every driver safer."
"What a wonderful project. Thank you!!"
"Safety of my kids and yours!"
"Jessica was a great person, gone too soon. It’s worth the wait, get there safely, and do everything you can to make sure other drivers around you do too!"
"For the safety of everyone!"
"In 2011 I was riding my motorcycle and was struck and injured by car driven by a distracted driver who was sending a text as she was turning into two lanes of traffic. I was watching the driver, head down and texting, as I approached. I had nowhere to go in the traffic. I was one second from going past the car when I was struck directly on the right side. Distracted driving yields the same results as DUI related crashes. It’s time we started treating distracted driving like DUI!"
"Thank you for your support!"
"I want to see change!"
"I knew Jessica. I believe the law should be changed!!"
"Jessica was a high school classmate and friend. Im signing because Alex is turning her tragic loss into something that could save others!"
"It’s wrong. It hurts people and their families when they lose someone due to distracted driving, texting. Texting is the worst because you cannot be completely aware of your surroundings. Texting endangers not only the person doing it but others out there driving while people are not paying to what they are doing. Texting kills, please don’t text and drive"
"believe this is a great cause and new this beautiful lady."
"This is a serious issue and I know many people who have senselessly lost a loved one due to distracted driving. I have teenage nieces and nephews on the roads and I worry about their safety."
"I have had way too many close calls with distracted drivers. Please make AL a hands free state!"
"I’m signing this because I believe this is a worthy cause! No text or phone call is worth your life or a life of others. You are saving your life and others by not being hindered by a phone. If it’s important pull over and handle that. Set automated text that will send someone informing you are driving and will return their message. So simple but can save a life that could be yours!"
"We knew Jessica from Moody High School"
"Great job Alex. Spread awareness"
"I believe in this!!"
"If u can help ppl from having accidents"
"I'm signing because I have children, nieces and nephews. I wouldn't know what to do If someone hit the automobile that is carrying my family. It needs to be against the law, too many people have been so quickly taken due to being distracted because they wanted to read a message, watch a tik tok or post a photo, IT CAN WAIT, watch the road, your surroundings and realize that you could take someones life because you think you look pretty today and need to post a pointless photo."
"I’m signing this petition because I have seen people run red lights, change lanes into cars and never knew they did it. Hands free will allow them to stay more focused on driving."
"My brother was seriously injured by a distracted driver on their cell phone"
"Just a mom with a broken heart for this family."
"This matters..."
"I care about saving lives!"
"We have lost too many over texts and phone calls."
"Girl Scout Sister Support"
"Please help. A cause near and dear to my heart." "I knew Jessica and her family. This tragedy needs to end."
