On December 7, 2006, in the final hours of the 109^th Congress and nearly three years after its initial introduction, both houses of Congress passed the Sober Truth on Preventing (STOP) Underage Drinking Act (H.R. 864 / S. 408). The $18 million bill adopts some of the policies and programs recommended in the Institute of Medicine's September 2003 report to Congress (“Reducing Underage Drinking: A Collective Responsibility”).  

The bi-partisan, bi-cameral STOP Act was crafted by seven members of both parties in both houses of Congress:  Senators Mike DeWine (R-OH) and Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Representatives Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-34-CA), Frank Wolf (R-10-VA), Zach Wamp (R-3-TN), Tom Osborne (R-3-NE), and Rosa DeLauro (D-3-CT).  The bill had a total of 86 House and 29 Senate co-sponsors.

In order to cultivate and promote legislators’ interest in and engagement on key alcohol prevention policies and programs, it is important to thank and acknowledge Senators and Representatives who supported the STOP Act.  If any of your legislators co-sponsored the STOP Act in the House or Senate, please take a moment to thank them and encourage their continued involvement and support in the fight against underage drinking.  This email will automatically be sent ONLY to Senators and Representatives who co-sponsored the bill.  You can go to the following internet links to find out whether your Member/s co-sponsored:
