. The big Idea: The parents need to form an alliance on drunk driving in order to keep any other
innocent kids or teens and adults out of harm and this alliance will be all the families that have
lost loved ones and families that do not want anything to happen to their loved ones they work
together and they travel across the world spreading the word that drunk driving needs to stop
and to get more to join the alliance to make it strong and strong.

. What's in it for your audience? This topic is very serious it is not a joke it has been to many innocent people being killed
because a driver thinks they are ok to drive home after having a few drinks. It only takes a few drinks,that can be your loved
one's looking at speeding head lights maybe you and it is still people with DUI's doing the same dumb stuff they did to get
their self in that mess and families that think it is not enough being done with drunk driving so neighbors call neighbors and
friends call friends they all get together in a community to talk to people that are tired of the drunk driving issue looking to
gather as much help to raise money to travel to spread the word and as they get more and more known for what they are
trying to do.

. The audience should listen to me because I lost a friend to this drunk driving it was hard to see
her face in the newspaper and on the news it brought heartache to the ones that she was so close
too. She went to college, had a job, and a good head on her shoulders and it was all taken away
just like that.

. Many lives can be saved if we put a stop to all this, if you are at the bar and you see someone to
drunk and the person has keys and is ready to walk out the door tell the bartender or the
manager to make sure they do not leave with out some one picking them up or call them a cab
because it seems like bars do not do that enough.

. The three main points that will support your big idea: let the bartenders or mangers know to
watch out for an intoxicated person. 1) call someone to come get the person and take them
home.2) help start a stop drunk driving support group and help spread it needs to stop across
the world.)

- Be cautious at all times, watch you surroundings when you are on the road driving if you see
something wrong call the police


If you are at a party with friends and your friend is drunk and he or she is the driver take the
key's and call a cab because they will try to convince you that they are ok to drive and they really
are not and if you let the drive and you get caught you better hope you do not get caught.

My friend was at the bar in Annapolis she was under age and the bar did not card her she got on
a motorcycle with someone that was drinking they crashed the site was to gruesome to put every
detail on the news.

After her death happened just like that i would be the smart person and call a cab or a family
member to come pick you up from where there is a lot of drinking going on.

In 2010, there were more than 10,000 fatalities from drunk driving(Drunk Driving Fatalities-
National Statistics)


I know a boy that I graduated with was injured in a car crash his leg was crushed and the others
in the car had minor injuries and this is because of Drunk driving.


The boy I know is still in the hospital because they are trying to save his leg from being cut off
because he thought he was good to drive after drinking a little.


It was two other people in the car and both of them did not have sense to stop him from driving
now they are ok but he is not and it could have been a lot worse.

There were no lives taken that day but it could have been their lives taken because none of them
did not think they would get into that accident.

Now almost every weekend in Annapolis police sets up check points because it has gotten to the
point where it is out of control so if you drink and you drive you better hope you do not run into
a police check point because you are going to jail for the risk of your self and others.


. Not drinking and driving can help save lives 1.) it will keep you from injuring or killing someone
2.) it will keep you out of jail for manslaughter 3.) control your ways to drink and drive.

together we can stop drunk driving by helping each other because we are the ones that are killing
each other and injuring each other this would not happen if we stop the drunk driving.

Telling people today that drunk driving needs to stop is serious to many people have lost their
life because of carelessness and because they thought nothing was going to happen to them if
they drive home or anywhere drunk
