<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">UPDATE: Cara Simpson has taken the first step. She has made a $100 donation to MADD and provided a receipt as proof.</span></p>
<div>To the Editor:</div>
<div>I wanted to let you know I have gone ahead and made a 100 dollar donation to MADD. I copied the text below. (I did remove my address information. I hope you don&#8217;t mind.)</p>
<p>I have done this with the full realization that you have not agreed to remove anything, and have no obligation to do so. But, I do respect your mission. I hope the money goes to a good use helping victims of a serious problem in our county.</p>
<p>Cara</p></div>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I am requesting you to please take down the mugshots you have from my arrest. I went to trial for the charges and pled guilty to <span style="font-family: arial black,avant garde; font-size: 16pt;"><strong>reckless driving,</strong></span> with all other charges dropped. I can send you documentation, if you so wish. </span></p>

I fear that your blogpost could be an impediment to my future success. If necessary, I plan to seek further measures to insure the removal of the photographs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thank you for your time,</span></p>

<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">NOTICE TO CARA SIMPSON: </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">1. If and when you submit a 1,000 word essay apologizing to the citizens of Maryland for driving while intoxicated on the highways upon which we all have to drive <span style="color: #ff0000;">and</span> explain how a family can get the name of a loved one killed by a drunk driver off of a tombstone; and <span style="color: #ff0000;">IF</span> the essay is worthy, it will be considered to deleting the information and replacing it with your apology.</span></div>

Sheriff&#8217;s Deputy</figcaption></figure>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2. ..and you provide a receipt from MADD of a donation of $100.</span></p>
</div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You should understand that your initial arrest will remain on the court records of Maryland and it was YOUR ACTIONS that &#8220;&#8230;could be an impediment&#8230;&#8221; to your future success. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Your wording is insincere and indicative of you having learned nothing except,<span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt;"> <em>don&#8217;t get caught and if you do get a good lawyer</em> </span>who can get a great plea deal out of St. Mary&#8217;s States Attorney Richard Fritz.<br />
Just because the charge was dropped as a result of the plea deal doesn&#8217;t remove the fact that you were arrested for DUI. </span></div>
