Dear Concerned New Yorker
February 28, 2011
On Monday, February 28th, the New York State Senate will be voting on a bill to add 50 more Red Light cameras in Nassau county - adding to the existing cameras in New York City and Long Island. Their plan is to spread these cameras county by county throughout the state as a means to increase revenue while drastically increasing risk to you and your family's safety. Call your state senator today and let them know they should vote no on adding more Red Light cameras to our state and should instead ban them entirely.
Red light cameras are an effective means for local governments to raise money to pay for their out of control budgets.
Many citizens wrongly believe the use of these cameras promotes safety and targets "law-breakers" - making the cameras a "public good."
Studies have suggested the number of collisions increase by 54% to 65% in intersections where these cameras are used, as motorists who fear a ticket slam on their brakes and cause rear-end collisions.
Reports from across the country - and right here at home - seem to support the claim that the timing of yellow lights is shortened at many of the intersections where these cameras exist.
And what about those law-breakers? According to our friends at CameraFraud, "There is no independent oversight to ensure the accuracy of the cameras and sensors."
These cameras take photos of license plates. The registered owner then receives a ticket in the mail - regardless of whether or not he or she was the driver that triggered the camera to snap the photo. The owner of the car is then in the position of having to prove himself innocent in a country where the law insists the burden of proof should be on the state.
New York State, county, and municipality authorities have implemented the installation of Red Light automated traffic ticketing systems in a number of locations and are now seeking to expand to more counties and eventually throughout New York State. The supporters of these systems claim it aids in safety, but numerous studies show it significantly increases both injury and fatal accidents.
In 2005, The Washington Post found:
"The analysis shows that the number of crashes at locations with cameras more than doubled, from 365 collisions in 1998 to 755 last year. Injury and fatal crashes climbed 81 percent, from 144 such wrecks to 262. Broadside crashes, also known as right-angle or T-bone collisions, rose 30 percent, from 81 to 106 during that time frame."
A 2007 Virginia Department of Transportation study found:
"The cameras were associated with an increase in total crashes... The aggregate EB results suggested that this increase was 29%... The cameras were associated with an increase in the frequency of injury crashes... The aggregate EB results suggested an 18% increase, although the point estimates for individual jurisdictions were substantially higher (59%, 79%, or 89% increases) or lower (6% increase or a 5% decrease)."
A 2008 University of South Florida report found:
"Comprehensive studies conclude cameras actually increase crashes and injuries, providing a safety argument not to install them.... public policy should avoid conflicts of interest that enhance revenues for government and private interests at the risk of public safety."
Other counties and states throughout the United States have started to ban Red Light cameras, as they have been shown to cause more danger and higher costs to the public, and New York needs to follow suit.
Call your state senator NOW to tell them they should ban the use of these Red Light cameras that put the lives of your family, friends, and neighbors at risk. Then forward this email to your friends and other concerned New Yorkers and groups to get the word out and stop this danger.
IMPORTANT! CALL TODAY:
You can find your senator at: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/officials/congress/
Enter your address or Zip Code to find your NY State Senator (right side). Click on your Legislator and click on the contact tab to get their phone number.
Tell them to vote NO on bill S2580-2011, as national studies show these automated cameras significantly increase injury and fatal accidents.
Finally, forward this email to friends and other active groups.

Generating Revenue with Good Planning
For anything to work well, care must be taken to make firm, workable plans to execute it and the same goes for website designs. With a well thought out website design, you will be able to create a site that generates multiple streams of revenue for you. In fact, may websites turn into online wasteland because they are not well planned and do not get a single visitor. Gradually, the webmaster will not be motivated to update it anymore and it turns into wasted cyberspace.
The crucial point of planning your site is optimizing it for revenue if you want to gain any income from the site. Divide your site into major blocks, ordered by themes, and start building new pages and subsections in those blocks. For example, you might have a "food" section, an "accomodation" section and an "entertainment" section for a tourism site. You can then write and publish relevant articles in the respective sections to attract a stream of traffic that comes looking for further information.
When you have a broader, better-defined scope of themes for your website, you can sell space on your pages to people interested in advertising on your page. You can also earn from programs like Google's Adsense and Yahoo! Search Marketing if people surf to those themed pages and click on the ads. For this very reason, the advertisement blocks on your pages need to be relevant to the content, so a themed page fits that criteria perfectly.
As Internet becomes more widespread, advertising on the Internet will bear more results than on magazines or offline media. Hence, start tapping in on this lucrative stream of profit right away!

3 Tips For A Successful Landing Page
I'm not going to lie to you. Affiliate marketing is hard if you don't know what you're doing. Sure it's easy to sign up with all the affiliate merchants, collect your affiliate link and banners for as many products as possible with the intention of promoting all the products but it's just not going to happen unless you have a proven strategy.
Here are 3 tips to help you create powerful landing pages that will not only add more buyers to your subscriber list but also rank you high in the search engine results page.
Tip 1 - Include a sign-up form to build a buyer's list.
This is important! You want to collect the names and Emails of every single person that lands on your page. If they've happily given you their information you are allowed to follow'up with them and finalize any missed sales. Not only that but you'll be able to build a database of trusted buyers who will respond highly to you in the future if you've got another interesting product to promote either as an affiliate or a product of your own!
Tip 2 - Include a bonus package for buying through you!
People actually 'Google' product names for reviews and bonuses. They want to see what exactly a product is about without all the hype and want to see what bonuses are available for that product. When they've made a decision to buy they want to see who's offering the best bonus package. Make a mental note of this because this is your chance to shine and out-do your competition!
Tip 3 - Optimize your landing page for specific keywords!
Don't waste your time trying to target the highly competitive keywords that all the mainstream websites are after. You're much better off picking a handful of high-targeted keywords based around the product's name, a review of the product's name, problems with the product's name, the product's name with 'bonus', and so on. Add these keywords and phrases to your title tags, meta description tags, h1 tags, h2 tags and on the first and last paragraph of your page. Not only will you find it easier to rank highly in the search engine results page but you'll be attracting the 'buying' traffic that you're after.
Creating quality templates can be a time-consuming process but fortunately, you can pick up a new free template every month from Killer Preseller. The free templates come with minimal presentation but with enough pre-sell copy for you to make affiliate commission. They do give you the chance to upgrade your templates so it's worth checking out!
For special access, load this link in a new browser http://www.killerpreseller.com/?hop=spendwisly now to get your hands on your free website templates whilst they're still available! It's worthwhile to be , I they're shutting the sign up form fairly soon to the amount of individuals coming into their website!
