Here's a multifaceted petition update:

1. Today I submitted an official complaint to the FTC with this petition and the 134 current signers. The complaint will go into a database for consideration and stay on file. I will let you know if I hear any response. That said, PLEASE continue to sign this petition since I am able to update my FTC complaint and add signatures.
2. You too can submit your own complaint to the FTC here: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/ (click Report Now >> Something Else category).
3. I was filmed recently via zoom for the documentary film project on the car ad topic that I mentioned in a previous update. I will let you know when I have more to share. To be honest, it was the film project that helped encourage me to officially submit the petition and not wait any longer for more signatures (but you can still sign!).
4. Lastly, there seems to be a bit more attention on car ads in the last few years, such as this LA Time letter to the editor. Keep speaking out! https://www.latimes.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/story/2022-08-24/car-ads-glorify-dangerous-driving

Thank you!
