Gentlemen,
<p>
As a `traditional` (or should I say <b>real</b>) American, I believe more strongly than ever in individual freedom and responsibility.  
<p>
There should be <b>no</b> laws restricting individual freedoms so long as the freedom brings no <b>direct</b> harm to others.  The left-wing argument that we are owned by the state-community is categorically un-American.   The idea that individual freedoms must be curtailed in favor of community interests is a bottomless pit into which <b>all</b> individual freedoms must inevitably fall.
<p>
Please vote to repeal the helmet law as it is a specific example of <b>big-brother knows best for you</b> legislation.
<p>
Thanks for your service to our state and American principles.
<p>
