"Rallies in Denver have quickly been organized to take place in the coming weeks. The first rally will happen at
10:00 am on December 20th at the Colorado State Capitol building."

Now if MSM would give this rally some exposure on the evening news, it would help bring the problems with
this issue to a conclusion.

I topped a hill one time about 40 mph driving a 5 ton wrecker and seen a long downhill with a single lane bridge
at the bottom followed by a sharp (15 mph) right turn. Brakes that had always worked good were on vacation.
I know exactly what it feels like to lose brakes through no fault of your own.
