Famous quotes by Nancy Kelly:

"Once you're in the door, it's very easy for friends to purchase beer and hand it to you."
"Many parents believe that underage drinking is a rite of passage and therefore condone drinking by hosting parties in their homes in an unfortunate attempt to protect their child from harm, This bill will send the correct message that underage drinking is not a rite of passage and that it is illegal."
"Fostering communication with a child promotes positive self-esteem and leads to a continuing relationship in adolescence and into adulthood."
