Drunken Legislators told “No More!”

Lawmakers in Oregon told not to show up drunk.

As a culture the Americans have little tolerance for drinking and driving.  We have seen the damage that a drunk driver can inflict upon society.  Somehow we as a society have missed the effects of drunken lawmaking can have on our society.  Citizens in Oregon have seen the light and have told their elected officials that it is no longer acceptable to show up on the job drunk.  Now if we could only get the people of Massachusetts to convey that to Sen. Edward Kennedy.

It is somewhat hypocritical for legislators to be voting on public drunkenness laws, DUI laws, or possession laws while intoxicated.  Maybe there is hope that one day our lawmakers will get some common sense and some common decency.  There is hope that this legislature will take this recommendation to heart.

1. In order to bring attention to the Kennedy cover up, a group of like minded conservatives have banded together to produce the successful “Kennedy Sobriety Checkpoint,” held this past week in D.C.

   They stood together, fighting the good fight, making the roads safer for you and me.

   Their video can be seen at the Public Advocate Website. http://www.publicadvocateusa.org/
