Press release - leads the blind nonsense
NewsReleaseWire.com
This is how "news" about "Bell the Hybrid" gets spread about. An organization writes a press release and then for about $1,000, they hire one of these press release services to bombard every news office and political office they can. Seeing one ensures it will be echoed again and again.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 2009 – Congressmen Edolphus “Ed” Towns (D-N.Y.) and Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) have proudly introduced H.R. 734, The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. This legislation mirrors a previously introduced initiative in the 110th Congress. The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act would require the Department of Transportation to research and ultimately set forth a standard for minimum information that must be provided by hybrid and electric vehicles required for blind and other pedestrians to travel safely and independently in urban, rural, and residential environments.
“ACB has a long history of being the leader in the blindness community regarding pedestrian safety issues,” said Mitch Pomerantz, President of the American Council of the Blind.
