The legislature officially passed the bill and we finally have the tougher sentencing we fought for. This outcome belongs entirely to the 571 of you who stood up for what is right when I felt lost. Please keep watching to ensure they follow through with these new rules.

Laura`s Law
Fighting for tougher sentencing in North Carolina for DUI/DWI offenders that murder and leave innocent people fighting the rest of their way through life because of the injuries they suatained. We need a law implimented before Pasour is sentenced for her murder. This has got to stop. Our county has a mass amount of DUI and DWI offenders arrested weekly and it is horrifying to know they are pre-meditating the murder of innocent people. Sickness or not they still know that when they drive they are committing a crime. Should be a felony first offense. We are not responsible for these people keeping jobs or anything because of that felony charge. They may indeed seek true treatment if in fact it is a felony charge for first offenses. May stop them from even getting behind the wheel drunk. Until the law changes we won't know the true impact it can have. Please won't you show your love and voice for Laura or another victim lost to a drunk driver?

I have been reading through the deeply personal stories you have shared in the comments and I am truly humbled by the strength each of you shows. This movement is growing far beyond what I ever imagined because of your willingness to speak up for those we have lost. I am spending my time reaching out to officials to ensure our message is delivered.

Heartbreaking situation. Laws in NC are way to soft on these people. Make it a felony so they actually take it serious.

Drunk driving is a choice. Plain and simple. Stop letting these people walk free while the victims pay the price for life.

My cousin was hit by a drunk driver 3 years ago and the guy got a slap on the wrist. FELONY first offense is the only way to make them think twice.

Too many people getting off easy for this. Its a slap in the face to every family who lost someone to a drunk driver. Change the law now.
