Bravo Dave and Jennifer Lawson. I wrote about this father and daughter in recent blog where they had lost Dave's wife and Jennifer's twin. There is a powerful video from Wave t.v. in Louisville that details this Kentucky Wrongful Death Car Wreck and the ensuing battle that this family is waging to change safety laws. Watch this video and you will be inclined to join their fight for new cable barriers for all of Kentucky's Highways and Interstates.
The Lawson's website, Barriersnow, (barriersnow@comcast.net) will be launched very soon. Please visit this site often and lend your comments and help to this family. With the Lawsons taking the lead, we could petition enough lawmakers in Frankfort Kentucky to make the changes and alot the money necessary to install the barriers.
Other states such as Illinois in particular have already erected these safety barriers. There is research and case studie that these safety measures do indeed save lives. This battle may seem to some as an uphill fight at first glance. However, Dave Lawson has already fought in Vietnam and in Desert Storm so he is used to fighting the good fight.
If Dave and Jennifer can get our support, this is another battle that can be won. Please leave your questions and comments below and feel free to leave the Lawson's any message that you want as they are frequent visitors of this site.

Thanks again, Daryl. I'm embarrassed at the praise. But some one has to start some thing. It's not just the two of us. My other remaining children, Jeff and Jolene, and their spouses are behind this too. Jennie and I are just the most available to the media. We feel like we were chosen as well as made the choice to kick the collective government posteriors to make the barriers happen. The website is now operational More ... The temporary email is barriersnow@comcast.net (see the website for updates). I urge everyone to join us. If somebody had done this before, my wife, child, and 3 members of the other family would be alive today.ThanksDave
Dave Lawson, his family, and friends would like to announce that the web site More ... is finally up and running. We are no longer "under construction", but we will be constantly developing and changing to fit the purpose of spurring the Kentucky government into action. We hope to convince the present administration that all the studying has been done by their own experts. The research has been done and published by The News Enterprise, many more newspapers, WAVE 3, many other television stations, and even by people in power in Frankfort. These cable barriers on I 65 can and will save lives. How many more deaths does it take to act and put them up? Is there a dollar value on the number of lives? Is $180,000 to $250,000 per mile of cable barrier, and saving even one life, a less important project than widening 31W to accomodate the BRAC changes comming in 2010 or 2012. Our web site is a starting point to waking the powers that be. With the help of the people of this state we can effect change. Visit the site. Join the fight. Lets save lives.
