My name is Dean Anderson and I was born on June 23, 1970. I live in Vicksburg, MS. I'm currently employed with Shiers Communications for 20 plus years. I was a volunteer for MADD Mothers Against Drunk Driving going for over 7 years. MADD's Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving? has the goal of protecting our families from drunk driving and ultimately ending the threat of drunk driving on American roads by:
• Support the heroes who keep our roads safe. High-visibility law enforcement catches drunk drivers and discourages others from driving drunk.
• Require convicted drunk drivers to blow before they go. Ignition interlock devices, or in-car breathalyzers, require all convicted drunk drivers to prove they are sober before the car will start.
• Turn cars into the cure. Tomorrow's cars will protect each of us, automatically determining whether or not the driver is at or above the legal limit of .08 and failing to operate if the driver is impaired.
