Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are called Mom, Madre, Mommy, Mother, Mother-in-law, or you are a “stand in” Mom. It is the greatest joy in my life to be called Madre or Momma by my daughter!
This is a picture of me with my Mom last Easter and I am so thankful that she is still with us at age 81. But, I know this is a hard weekend for many of you who have lost your Mom, your child or your children.
Many will be mourning their moms or their daughters who never got the chance to be a mom or their only child–the one who made them a Mom. Some single dads–who are now also mothers–will be mourning the loss of a wife and reliving grief at a time when so many celebrate their mother/wife.
No matter how the loss occurred–through a drunk driving crash or otherwise–it is a time to reflect on motherhood and what that means to us.
MADD was started by Candace Lightner after her daughter, Cari, was killed by a drunk driver. Thanks to Candace, we are a 30 year old organization that serves a victim every 10 minutes, that works to keep families safe through education and prevention and that celebrates the heroes who keep our roads safer. We all can be mothers!
A great way to honor your Mom is to make a donation to MADD in her honor. You can do that easily at www.madd.org.
I wish you a day of joy if your Mom is still with you or a day of beautiful reflection if your Mom is gone. Happy Mother’s Day!
The Century Council applauds U.S. Senators Tom Udall (D-NM) and Bob Corker (R-TN) who introduced The Research of Alcohol Detection Systems for Stopping Alcohol-related Fatalities Everywhere, or ROADS SAFE Act this week. This legislation would authorize million per year for five years to support research on the feasibility, potential benefits and public policy challenges associated with using in-vehicle technology to prevent drunk driving. The funding would go to the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS), a program that is currently being run by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in collaboration with outside organizations.
In 2006, The Century Council committed its support for the exploration of advanced technologies to prevent drunk driving, and we believe that this type of development holds great promise if it is moderately priced, absolutely reliable, set at the legal BAC limit of .08, and unobtrusive to the sober driver. We are pleased to reaffirm this longstanding position by supporting The ROADS SAFE Act of 2011. Mothers Against Drunk Driving, AAA and the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States also support the legislation.
The Century Council Chairman, Susan Molinari, was quoted in the Senators’ joint press release: “If our nation can develop technology to prevent people from driving drunk while preserving the rights of drivers below the legal .08 percent BAC limit, it has the capacity to save thousands of lives each year.”
We thank Senators Udall and Corker for their leadership and commitment to this important effort.
