Sen. Kurita: 'Red ribbons serve as DUI reminder'

Sen. Rosalind Kurita is asking citizens to tie a red ribbon on automobile
antennas during this holiday season as a reminder of the consequences of
drinking and driving. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) red ribbons can
be obtained, free of charge, by calling Sen. Kurita at 1-800-449-8366, ext.
12374.
"More public involvement is needed in the fight to prevent drinking and
driving," Sen. Kurita said. "I'm asking concerned citizens to join me again
this year in the annual campaign to help raise public awareness about the
seriousness of DUI. During this holiday season, please tie a red ribbon
around your automobile antenna to show support for safe, sober driving."
The Tie One on For Safety awareness program was created by MADD to bring
attention to driving sober during the holiday season and throughout the
year, Kurita said.
"DUI tragedies impact all of us. That's why I'm asking everyone to join in
this life-saving effort to remind drivers that DUI is a crime. Fatalities
and injuries are caused by people who commit the crime of DUI. Let's join
together to make this holiday season safer and happier for our children and
families."
