Thank you for the add and for your support in this vital cause to increase the effort to EDUCATE our youth of the dangers of drugs and violence. Our future generation depends on the youth of today. Alcohol and Drugs are plaguing our society and we need to attack it head on where it is digging its roots; with our youth in our schools. Knowledge and Truth are the key to help them stay clean. They deserve the TRUTH about all of the drugs they will incounter. They are simply too smart to accept the old 'Just Say NO' adage. Todays teens want to KNOW for themselves, and a rebellious society we have created. They will seek the truth themselves and we must educate them with it. That's what they respect; That's what they deserve! A NEW D.A.R.E. REQUIRES A NEW APPROACH! Please help spread the word and tell your friends about D.A.R.E. Feel free to visit D.A.R.E. online at www. dare. com for more info on starting a D.A.R.E. program in your area and/or to show your support. Peace :-)
