This is the "wear your seatbelt" ad from the UK.<br />
<br />
It was started by some dude not hired to do it ....<br />
<br />
but because the cause is important to him, he came up with this idea.<br />
<br />
Now it's being hailed across the world as a "beautiful" commercial.<br />
<br />
The video has become so popular with the general public that people are forwarding it to friends/family on their own so quickly that it has spread all over the world in a very short time.<br />
<br />
As the Holiday season travel spike approaches, this ad could save many lives.<span class="s1"><br />

Dear Colleagues,<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, AAJ will launch Take Justice Back—a grassroots campaign to let everyday Americans know why they should care about protecting the civil justice system.<br />
<br />
We are out-spent by corporations that try to limit consumer rights, but we have the truth on our side.<br />
<br />

<br />
In <u>Donaldson v. Dep't of Transp.</u>, 262 Ga. 49 (Ga. 1992), Justice Weltner's dissent points out how affirmatively deceptive the ballot was. In his typical concise prose:</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 7.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">(b) It is difficult to imagine a plainer case of affirmative misstatement than this case. Consider:</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;">(i) The voters were asked whether they wanted the right to sue the state.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;">(ii) The voters answered "yes."</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;">(iii) Because they answered "yes," their existing rights to sue the state have been terminated!</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 7.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">The majority did not disagree; they stated the rule for framing amendment ballots thus:</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 7.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">The only limitation on the General Assembly in drafting ballot language is that the language be adequate to enable the voters to ascertain which amendment they are voting on.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 7.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">So, as long as the voters can determine that they are voting on something having to do with competition, and not with highways or public office, <i><span style="font-style: italic;">it doesn't matter what the Yes-No question says</span></i>. A concurring Justice put the matter very clearly:</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 7.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">The proper focus of this court's inquiry is whether the ballot language, <i><span style="font-style: italic;">even if deceptive as to the purpose of the amendment</span></i>, prevented the voter from knowing which amendment he was voting for or against.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 7.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">There it is. If the legislature wants to commit fraud on the public, this is how they can do it. Legally.<br />
<br />
And do it they did. The current constitution has for over a century contained a provision prohibiting the legislature from passing any law that would permit a contract that defeats or lessens competition. Ga. Const. Art. III, Sec. VI, Par. V(c). This has been held to prohibit enforcement of non-competition agreements, except for very narrow and extremely justifiable reasons. It has enabled professionals and other skilled workers to compete, unshackled by anti-competition agreements imposed upon them by their employers. There is a large body of clear and coherent case law on this.<br />
<br />
The proposed constitutional amendment will reverse this. It will enable the legislature to pass statutes that will allow employers to shackle employees, to keep them subservient, by requiring them to sign anti-competition agreements on pain of unemployment.<br />
<br />
So, to take Justice Weltner's format:<br />
(i) The voters will be asked whether they want reasonable competition upheld</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;">(ii) The voters may answer "yes."</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;">(iii) If they answer "yes," their existing rights to compete reasonably will be lost.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Century;"><br />
I don't know which is worse, this attempt to reinstate indentured servitude or this outright lie to the entire people. In either case, vote NO and tell everybody else to do likewise.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 7.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><b><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">Charles M.

Miller "told other officials in an e-mail on Jan. 16 that 'the time to hide on this one is over.'" Noting that Secretary LaHood said this week that Toyota waited some four months to relate its findings about unintended acceleration to the public, Bloomberg adds that "Miller, who retired from Toyota later in January, declined to comment." Nor would Toyota comment directly on Miller's email. </div><div style="color: #fff2cc; margin: 0px;"> The <a href="http://mailview.custombriefings.com/mailview.aspx?m=2010040801aaj&r=3911810-ec47&l=002-702&t=c" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank" title="http://mailview.custombriefings.com/mailview.aspx?m=2010040801aaj&r=3911810-ec47&l=002-702&t=c"><u title="http://mailview.custombriefings.com/mailview.aspx?m=2010040801aaj&r=3911810-ec47&l=002-702&t=c">Los Angeles Times</u></a> (4/8, Vartabedian, Bensinger) reports that Miller's email came in response to an executives' suggestion that his "colleagues to keep quiet about defective accelerator pedals. ...
