Just for reference (most of these numbers come from US Census quick facts sheet at http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/51000.html):

The population of Virginia is 7,642,884   

24.1% of the population is under 18 years of age, making the VA population that can vote (and therefore have political influence) 5,808,591.

CVAP (citizens voting age population that can and do vote) for 2004 was 59.8 meaning of the 5.8 odd million, only 3,473,537 voted.

The 54,370 who have signed the petition equals only 1.56% of the voting age population who ACTUALLY vote. So ? long way to go before this can be taken seriously.  But for only having been up a few days, not bad.

By the way ? math, not my strong suit. Someone may want to check my work, lol.

Peace,
R.

Good enough for me...  the math that is.  All you can do is spread the link to others you know... and hope for the best.

Many people don't even know about this, and many of those that do know misunderstand them as being punitive fees--- they aren't! They are civil fees enacted for the sole purpose of fundraising, it has nothing at all to do with safety!  Not to mention the fact that they are not applied equally to all drivers on the road, out of state drivers are exempt!

The very structure of this thing is unjust...

yeah, i was #129795. repeal, repeal, repeal.
and don't ever vote for rust or albo.
once we got rid of that law, i propose autobahn laws for virginia. it's either that or i have to go into exil to north carolina - just can't afford those new tickets in va.
