Glynn Birch Quotations

Their work is vital to keep our lives on track.

The nation has become complacent. Back in the early '80s we had this grass-roots organization that was flaring up. This was a voice that you had to listen to.

Everyone should have a game plan before the fun starts on Super Bowl Sunday, such as a designated driver or alternative transportation.

The poll clearly shows this is a major concern, especially during the holidays because of increased drinking and increased driving.

Drunk driving is the nation's most frequently committed violent crime. Underage drinking is the No. 1 youth drug problem, and MADD served more than 30,000 victims and survivors in 2004. It is time for everyone to realize that we need the support of the entire community to solve this problem and to save lives.

Seat belts are your best defense against a drunk driver. We want people to drive safe, drive sober and buckle up.

In light of a recent study that seems to indicate a direct correlation between alcohol advertising and increased teen drinking and another study showing the numbers of people, other than teen drivers, being killed in crashes involving teens, it's more important than ever before to make sure there is a dialogue with teens about issues that could impact their futures. Whether teens spend time at a bowling alley, a friend's house, a coffee shop, or online text-messaging, The Spot shows teens that it is up to them to make sure their 'spot' is filled with positive influences and not with harmful substances.

That baby's voice is music to my ears.
