How to promote license revocation and vehicle confiscation for those who text and drive?

My state is mulling over new penalties for those who get caught texting while driving. They mentioned the possible penalty for the first time offense would be (permanent) license revocation and vehicle confiscation. I'm all for it and contacted my senator and congressman. What else can people do to help pass this law?

    I hope you meant your STATE Senator and Congressman.

    How about contacting the Governor as well?

    Even Mayors.

    Create petitions, have folks sign them and send them in too.

    Call/write/email:

    TV stations. Ask for a reporter to do a story on your efforts.

    Newspapers. (the same) or maybe they'll publish you on opinion page.

    Radio stations. Talk show hosts might put you on the air.

    Go door-to-door with petitions.

    Hand out informational packets on the streets.

    Put up signs in businesses (with permission, of course).

    Hold public meetings.
