Edwards' daughter in a drunk driving crash

Presidential candidate John Edwards' daughter, Cate, was involved in a drunk driving crash last week.

Here are a couple links to the news stories:

It makes you wonder if this will impact the candidate's stance on drinking and driving. Some say it takes happening to a public figure, or someone from his family, before mindsets change.

You'll recall that Edwards' son Wade died in a car accident.

My opinion on this? Drunk driving crashes too often impact innocent lives. That appears what Cate Edwards was here, thank goodness she's ok.

Welcome to the blog on Karen's Crusade

Welcome to the first blog entry on karenscrusade.org. This blog will be used as a way to communicate regarding issues connected to impaired driving, DWI news stories, and everything that's going on with the organization.

Now for more on a tragedy that occurs too often on the nation's roads. On Sunday, a drunk driver with a BAC that was more than three times the legal limit, killed a woman and four children.
Here's a link to the article .

How awful for that family - all those kids and that young woman dead, all due to one individual's bad decision. After all, it's a choice to drink and drive. It's stories like this that keep me going as I continue to raise awareness about the dangers of DWI on our roads.


Have a happy and safe 2008 and do not drink and drive,
