There are state laws that prohibit drunk driving with criminal penalties for persons who are caught, including vehicular homicide.
There is the uproar!
There is RADD (Recording Artists, Actors, and Athletes Against Drunk Driving) which has done public service announcements by such persons as John Mayer, Barry Bonds, Paul McCartney, Shaquille O’Neal, Warren G, Tim McGraw, Marc Anthony and Gwen Stefani, and does free concerts to raise money for the cause.
There is the uproar!
I'm with you, friend! There are many of us who have lost someone because of drunk driving, either to death, injury, or prison. We cause uproar with our actions and our money.

I appreciate your post, but would have to respectfully disagree.
I have been checking the news today, and I haven't heard/seen any uproar over this tragedy. MADD hasn't come out to condemn the perpetrator of this crime, or to espouse car/alcohol control. I haven't seen one discussion panel generated to discuss this tragedy or to lobby for change on the various news show. Why are the various talk show hosts, or members of the Screen Actors Guild who seem to have much more influence on people's opinions, not coming out today to talk about this tragedy or even one in their own state? So I ask again, where is the uproar?
