So, Bill Clinton saved a lot of lives. Jimmy Carter did the same by passing seat belt laws. [View all]

Number of deaths went down dramatically in car accident. 1979 55,000 deaths...last year..35,000

But 100,000,000 more cars, and 100,000,000 more people. far fewer deaths, far more people
,...Got that picture? ...........................................Check these numbers out..They are correct...
.........go to Deaths of the Highway ....Wikipedia...

I guess we save lives, and the Republicans take lives. It is that simple. Guess who cares more about
lives? Them or us?.............Ain't complicated...Is it?
