Stop the New Prohibition

The organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving is not what it claims to be. It did start out that way but today, MADD is not a collection of mothers trying to stop drunk drivers. It has become a quasi-governmental agency bent on eradicating the use and sale of alcohol. In the words of Al Franken, MADD "has turned into the new 'Women's Christian Temperance Union.'" Violating their tax-exempt status, undermining your rights, and fudging statistics in the pursuit of more funds to further the prohibitionist agenda. These are religious zealots at their worst.

Within a period of two decades, Mothers Against Drunk Driving has degenerated from a public service organization devoted to reducing traffic fatalities into an anti-alcohol bureaucracy largely focused on raising ever more money for itself. Candy Lightner, the founder and first President of MADD says “it has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I ever wanted or envisioned.” She explains “I didn’t start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving.”
