I was recently interviewed by Jesse Lozano for the Community Council show. This interview aired Christmas Day on KIIS-FM, KYSR-FM, and KLAC-AM. We covered BAC, designated driver services, penny-sucking, social factors, and more! My part is the first 20 minutes … KIIS-FM Community Council 12-25-11 Thanks to Jesse Lozano for being a gracious host and excellent interviewer.  The “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign was designed to help law enforcement and homeland security forces gather intelligence which could prevent terrorist attacks. It’s meant to literally raise awareness … of your surroundings! The world we live in has changed so much in the years since the September 11th attacks.

Adenhart was a rookie pitcher for the Angels with a promising career, having pitched [...] Many states are adopting new laws against drunk drivers that involve putting an ignition interlock system on the offender’s car.

We use the DrinkingAndDriving.Org Facebook Fan Page primarily to share the latest high profile DUI arrests like Jason Wahler, multiple Miami Dolphins, and others. A compelling concept to realize about celebs [...] In our Blog posting, “The Supreme Court Says No Fair Tipping Off the Cops” from October 24 last year, we were swayed by news articles we read online and compelled to speak up. Since then, an important clarification has been issued in an article at PoliceMag.com entitled, “Beware of False Headlines“. If you have read our [...] There is a lot of new data coming out regarding drunk driving.
