Harness Facebook to Protect Kids in Cars: HELP!

Pasadena is slated to become a “model city” in a State Farm-funded campaign to Cause an Effect---getting elementary school children buckled up safely-- IF Facebook members vote early and often for the SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. program to teach the 5-Step Test for safety belt fit to kids and adults.  This important information will show that most kids need boosters until age 10-12, booster seats that will reduce injury by 45%, injuries that can make lifelong changes in their health.

Through May 17, Facebook users can vote TEN times daily at

http://www.facebook.com/statefarm/app_376288832400015?app_data=Boosters-Are-For-Big-Kids

to vault the national non-profit organization into the TOP FORTY of the 100 projects in competition. The funds will focus on the diverse Pasadena community while allowing the group to reach out to other San Gabriel Valley communities to become model cities of elementary school student protection. After the voting ends on May 17, State Farm will announce the winners on May 22.

SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. has begun to engage Pasadena schools but cannot finish the job without additional funding. We are not asking for money but VOTES! Vote early and often! Go to www.carseat.org for more information on child passenger safety.

Jessica, I am glad to see the story is different from the original article I read. Once I see theRead More picture of your beautiful face on Patch news, I know everything is going to be O.K.

I've read a variety of articles about Patch over the years, including that one. Interesting to seeRead More what media is saying about other media and how often they can get it wrong. Ultimately, I don't consider speculation to be reliable. Thanks for weighing in, Marty.

For crying out loud! You can't even spell "secede" and you want to run your own state?

Caution - use of this device could cause lasting knee injury. Just sayin...

I think the main issue is the lack of the comment stream - you could see what people were talkingRead More about, and you were often drawn in - and could find the article simply by clicking on the comment. It was the main advantage AltadenaPatch had over AltadenaBlog - much more engaging. No more.

Lisa I am actually holding back, because my comment was up front for two days, and I don't want toRead More look like a hog. As for user friendly....well, maybe. But as with any major revamp, after the foreign feel to navigating, usually the new way feels comfortable eventually. I am not sure either way yet.
Lisa Hastings May 21, 2013 at 08:57 pm
And no one is commenting on any stories anymore. This is because the new format is not userRead More friendly.
Jessica Hamlin (Editor) May 21, 2013 at 11:16 am
That was a bug that has been worked out I believe, but thank you for the feedback. I appreciate yourRead More patience with our growing pains as part of our easier new layout.

No. no emails here. But it does look like everyone "has left the building". No one isRead More commenting since the changed. perhaps everyone is shell-shocked.
