+  %h1 What is NoTicketForMe.com?
+
+  %p
+    Almost everyone knows the feeling of after doing your shopping, eating at a
+    restaurant, or just doing your daily errands, when you rush back to your car to
+    find that your parking meter has expired and within minutes you have received a
+    parking citation. HELLO! That was not $50-$80 you are planning to spend that day.
+  %p
+    Politicians say that parking fines are not designed to be a “revenue-generating
+    source” but don’t hesitate to raise parking rates and fines in an attempt to close or
+    reduce budget shortfalls and spend millions of dollars to make the collection of that
+    income and “fine revenue” more efficient. Parking management companies promise
+    cities billions of dollars to privatize parking meter collections and fines. Common
+    sense says that no giant corporation is that benevolent, unless they’re making
+    money (lots of money).
+  %p
+    We wanted to try and apply a little common sense to one part of your life. We
+    always thought that the government was supposed to help people, not make them
+
+    a target for generating income. Parking has almost become an “athletic event” with
+    an “us against them” mentality. We want to have more of “us” than “them”.
+  %p
+    What we do is to always be on the lookout to help another member of NTFM if it
+    looks like one of our members may get hit with a $50 parking fine. Putting 25 cents
+    into a parking meter will not save the world but it might help someone save some
+    money: and if you get a chance to win a little that also makes it even more exciting.
+    The average person does not get a chance to “Stick it to The Man” very often and
+    especially for only 25 cents. You can help as many people as you like or as few but
+    helping even one person gives you an amazing feeling of power. That’s what we are
+    trying to accomplish.
