Dear NMA Members,

This is a quick note to let you know that our efforts against red light
cameras have garnered national notice. 

Eric Skrum, NMA Communications Director, just finished taping an interview
for NBC Nightly News regarding red light cameras in Virginia. 

Just last week, the Virginia House of Delegates refused to renew their
camera program. NBC wanted to discuss this and the issue of whether red
light cameras actually increase safety, so they came to the most vocal
opposition of red light cameras they could find. the NMA.

We won't see the final product until it airs, but Eric felt confidant that
he was able to articulate NMA's many arguments with the cameras. We'll just
have to wait to see which 10 seconds they choose to use!

If you wish to catch the program, we have been told that it will air
tomorrow (February 22, 2005) on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams at 5:30
central time.

Best regards,

James Baxter
NMA President
