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.
Salaries/benefits for some at this "volunteer" organization are

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.”
