From wheelies on city streets to speeding on curving highways, the ads incite and excite drivers to rev their cars. Many years ago, ads about smoking and drinking liquor were banned fro TV because of the enticements to the people. Reckless driving is a major cause of accidents and deaths. BUT, these automobile companies are major contributors to THE TV CORPORATIONS and to our government representatives. Until there are laws requiring PUBLIC FINANCING OF FEDERAL AND LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES, the great USA cannot call itself a DEMOCRACY.

I hope you have the people to put the citizen vox in front and start eliminating the mean ones that are there.How can reporters tear us up like they do wih articles of choice to tears us. I don't thnik they-we realize lize how rotten they are/have been . We need good hesalth but it must start with our mind. Having people that are rotten people should not be leading us. 'We;' the people are the ones that started the USA. Public Citizen has a good idea here, will it get spelled out and put in practice? Let us get this moving.
