This has been on "another" forum for awhile and it's kinda sad out of 50,000+ members there aren't even half willing to sign to make the minimum required. Maybe a better response here.
Signed #2 Maybe it will do some good...
The problem with this petition is you are asking the Federal Government to look into a State issue. The Helmet law was done at a State level. And that is exactly what the Federal Government is going to say if this petition ever got the 25K signatures that is needed. They will tell you to speak to your Governor's office.
I think many have realized this and that is why this petition is not getting any signatures.
