I have know Archie Rousey for several year and you that he is an honorable man with honorable intentions in his efforts with this bill. He believes in this and many people agree with him. I sincerely hope that our elected official see the importance of increasing the penalties for repeating DWI offenders. The life they save may be yours or that of one of your loved ones.
