Ban alcohol advertising on television, on billboards and at sporting events as it promotes its use to our children.

We petition our government to step in and stop the glamorizing of the use of alcohol thru advertising. It is our belief that our children, constantly exposed to these ads that seem to tell them that the party starts when they open a can of beer is a contributing factor in underage alcohol use and abuse. We further believe that alcohol, being the number one abused drug in the world, poses a huge public health problem in the USA just as cigarettes do and that alcohol advertising needs to be restricted just as cigarette advertising is. Our belief includes the idea that our children should be able to watch a sporting event on tv or live at a stadium without being bombarded with liquor advertising and that it simply is not appropriate or healthy for their development.
