 RECOGNIZING THE PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY VOLUNTEERS FOR MOTHERS AGAINST 
                             DRUNK DRIVING

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. GERALD E. CONNOLLY

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 2013

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Prince 
William County volunteers for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
   Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is the largest nonprofit 
working to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking. 
MADD volunteers in Prince William County, Virginia have increased 
public awareness of the dangers of drunk driving and the assistance 
families need to persevere through such tragedies. Volunteers in the 
county organize annual programs and initiatives in tribute to local 
victims and survivors. To establish a safer future for all, MADD 
volunteers campaign to eliminate drunk driving, host the 
PowerTalk21\TM\, the national day for parents to talk with their kids 
about alcohol and provide literature to area residents and drivers. 
These volunteers work tirelessly to prevent families from experiencing 
the pain of losing a loved one to drunk driving.
   It is my honor to enter into the Congressional Record the names of 
the Prince William County volunteers for Mothers Against Drunk Driving: 
Laura Dawson, Debbie Sausville.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in commending the 
Prince William County volunteers for Mothers Against Drunk Driving for 
their service and in thanking them for their dedication to ending drunk 
driving. These volunteers provide education, advocacy, and victim 
assistance to reduce the painful impact drunk driving has on our 
community.
