We Won!!!  Thanks to your help, car dealers in New Jersey will NOT be allowed to put precious lives at risk in dangerous unrepaired recalled cars.

More than 154,000 people signed my petition, calling on legislators in New Jersey to reject attempts by car dealers to pass their “License to Kill” bill.  Last night, the legislature adjourned without passing that horrible bill.  If it had passed, it would have allowed car dealers to get away with selling defective used vehicles so hazardous the manufacturer has issued a safety recall, and it would be a federal crime to sell them if they were new.

Thank you to everyone who signed my petition, especially everyone who commented and shared it with others. I know the deadly results that can occur when profits are put over lives. An unrepaired recalled car killed my beautiful, talented, treasured daughter Jewel. She was just 26 years old, with a Master’s Degree and preparing a plan for her Ph.D. at Stanford. A gifted gymnast, gymnastics teacher, and model, Jewel was full of life, and devoted to making the world a better place. After receiving her doctorate degree, she intended to write children’s books and open her own family therapy practice.

But almost exactly five and a half years ago, she was in a fender-bender with several other cars. Everyone else walked away, and her rental car was not badly damaged, but a defective recalled Takata airbag exploded, like a hand grenade going off in the car, propelling metal fragments that sliced an artery in her neck, and she bled to death.

My whole world changed. Now I am on a mission to honor Jewel and her life, by saving the lives of others endangered by the more than 57 million unrepaired recalled cars on America’s roads. No one else should have to suffer such a horrendous loss, which is why I deeply appreciate your help in telling lawmakers in New Jersey that dangerous recalled cars don't belong on the road.

Together, all of our voices were heard, and made a real, positive difference.

I will continue to fight back against car dealer “License to Kill” legislation in every state where corrupt legislators introduce such bills, because I believe that everyone who buys a car from a licensed car dealership deserves to get a vehicle that is at least safe to drive, even if they can’t afford to buy a car that is brand new, or they simply prefer to buy one that is used. You shouldn’t have to worry about dealers charging you top dollar for a car that is hazardous, with life-threatening defects like catching on fire, steering loss, sticking accelerator pedals, brake failure, or exploding Takata airbags.

Thank you again for helping save precious lives!!
