STOP THE MADNESS!

What does it take for you to see that alcohol kills more people them cigarettes.
Put a hefty TAX on ALCOHOL to pay for health insurance.

The COLD, HARD, SOBERING FACTS about alcohol and drunk driving in the United States:

* Fact: A total of 41,059 total traffic fatalities were recorded in the US in 2007. Of those, an estimated 12,998 (over 31%) were drunk drivers (Blood Alcohol Concentration above .08).
* Fact: On average, someone is killed by a drunk driver in the US every 40 minutes.
The effects of alcohol and intoxicated driving are far-reaching. Its effects go way beyond the number of killed and injured. We are all equally at risk.
Question:

How close does death or injury have to come to you or your family at the hands of a drunk driver, before you will do something active, not passive? Get involved now! THE LIFE YOU SAVE COULD BE YOUR OWN OR THAT OF A LOVED ONE.

Our governments, federal, state and local have declared WAR on drunken driving, yet the problem remains.

We have gotten MADD, SADD, BADD and more, and still the madness continues.
