Admit it: You like the one in the shorts. |
Your honor, I present copies of notarized letters I sent to the governor, and to the state senator and state representative elected where I live, reminding them that this blatantly unjust law is totally unacceptable to me and demanding its repeal, or a personal exemption from it. I note that I did not vote for them and it is not my fault they refuse to comply with my demand, and it is not my fault they got elected. The only reason I have to tolerate the injustice of this arrest is because I cannot fight off your governments police forces. Short of building a time machine to bring myself to age 21, or giving up alcoholic drinks altogether, I did everything I possibly could to comply with this law. The state constitution specifies that all punishments be proportioned to the gravity of the offense. The so-called offense of exercising my God-given right to drink the beverage of my choice did not in any way violate anybodys rights or put anybody in danger. Unlike some politicians, judges and cops, I know better than to get behind the wheel after Ive been drinking. It stands to reason, therefore, that the gravity of the offense was zero, and that is how much the fine ought to be. |
NEW:
Watch this excellent video clip, only 74 seconds, from Bouncers Against Drunk Driving. While they are cozy with the hate-mongering MADD bigots, Bouncers does not promote bigotry and the use of unprovoked, state-sponsored violence to intimidate responsible citizens under 21 into giving up their right to drink altogether. Attention Bouncers: Call a taxi, put it on their bill and dont serve them again until they pay up. Is there a way to make that work? Or a sign, Attention Patrons: If you see a drunk getting behind the wheel, please call the police to report them. If we overserved them we would rather get fined for that than get screwed royally if they crash. Besides...they might crash into somebody we like, or...they might crash into somebody you like. |

The absurdity of the drinking age was made even more obvious on
Rep. Brian Poznanski, D-Nashua, was drinking at a party when police arrived to break up a fight, then arrested all the underage drinkers. Poznanski was 20. Since Poznanski did nothing to lower or repeal the drinking age, its almost like its partly his own fault the Bedford Police arrested him. Bedford Journal ... Cached |

Andrew Hopkins and Grace Chamberlain never got a chance to drink legally. They were both 18 when they were killed in a head-on crash on Route 700 in Burton Township, Ohio on 2 March 2006. Evan Dasilva, then 19, was critically injured, suffering fractures from head to leg, and permanently lost sight in one eye. All three attended Hiram College.
The suspect was 47 years old, had eleven prior DWI convictions on his record, fifteen suspensions against his license and 0.26% BAC by blood test. Andrew and Grace didnt have to perish. The State of Ohio could have sent that criminal to prison for some serious time. They had eleven chances. They dont want to reduce drunk driving. Its easier for legislators to pretend theyve done something, by imposing the drinking age, than it is to impose serious drunk driving laws, which would apply to the lawmakers themselves. |

UDADD demands tougher drunk driving laws, which punish the criminals for their willful wrongdoing,
instead of punishing responsible drinkers for being under 21, which they cannot avoid. Drunk drivers would rather punish underage responsible drinkers. (I can drive better drunk than they can sober.)
In Vermont, Governor Richard Snelling proved this in the 1980s. Twice, he vetoed bills to raise the drinking age from 18 to 21, telling the Vermont Legislature to crack down on drunk driving. Under mounting pressure to do something about the carnage on the roads, the Vermont Legislature passed a bill to raise the penalties for drunk driving, which Governor Snelling signed. |

Who really has a more legitimate right to govern what you eat and drink, you or some politicians you voted against?
The voters who elected those politicians have no right to regulate what you eat and drink, be it water, wine or turpentine. As long as youre not stealing it, youre not violating anybodys rights. Repealing underage drinking laws does not imply approval of drinking by people under 21, any more than freedom of the press implies government approval of every editorial in the newspaper. |

If they give up on trying to buy beer because their first two attempts fail, that means the enemy wins. Outvoted discrimination victims may feel obligated to go to great lengths before surrendering to the enemy. UDADD demands the repeal of underage drinking laws so that people under 21 can learn to drink under parental supervision at first, and then they can drink in supervised places such as bars if they desire. |

States should not surrender their authority for any price, let alone such a low price.
What about the blood borders between wet and dry counties? These affect people 21+, far more people than the under 21 crowd tempted to make an interstate pilgrimage.
The drinking age was 18 in all of New England, New York and New Jersey. The drinking age was raised in states adjoining Vermont, and Vermont was criticized for the resulting inequality. |
