In Ohio, a 1983 referendum to raise the beer age from 19 to 21 failed by a 2-1 margin. So of course our wonderful Dimocratic senators vote in favor of the MADD-pushed federal blackmail. This push meant that MADD was no longer an anti-drunk driving group...it became a prohibitionist group.

Fortunately, we no longer have Dimocratic senators.

One of the games the MADD crowd plays is to overstate the drunken driving statistics by the use of the "alcohol related" phrase. If in addition to the driver if any of the passengers has any alcohol in their blood stream the accident is deemed "alcohol related".

So say you are stone sober and driving a drunk friend home and you are rear-ended, your accident will be alcohol related and used as a statistic against drinking.

"Fortunately, we no longer have Dimocratic senators. "

In Ohio, one has to question whether that's really a victory!

EXACTLY RIGHT!

Click here, here, and here to learn more about MADD's prohibitionist agenda.

The federal 21-to-drink defacto prohibition law is a national disgrace and needs to be repealed as long as adults aged 18 through 21 minus 1 day are in harm's way defending our liberties.
