POWER TO THE PEOPLE...

I live nowhere near San Francisco. Have never been there yet. Would love to visit and stay for awhile and take in the culture of one of America's most unique cities.

However, a recent story grabbed my attention, and what I'd like to do is post the link for you to read about a young lady who was struck and killed by a speeding car on a busy street in San Francisco. I read through this story, saw the photos, and decided that the intersection where this young lady was struck down needs some definite improvements somehow. This story touched me because it could be somebody I know or it could be someone you know. It was someone that obviously touched a lot of peoples' lives.

So, I am urging you to do your due diligence and click here to read the story and see the photos for yourself:

Then, if you feel so inclined, please click here to sign the petition to get this dangerous intersection upgraded so no one elso has to be hit or killed by simply trying to cross this busy street:

I signed this petition and I hope you out there do so as well. It would be nice to get to the magical 3000 mark...maybe even exceed it.

Just wanted to do what little I can, thanks to the magic of the internet.

Peace, Love, Sole,

JD
