LAW: MADD at the Constitution (part 1)
After an exausting 6 month study of these devices I have found that MADD stands behind them, in fact they are usually responsible for propelling them into the courts. After lobbying to get the legislation passed that prohibits a lawyer from questioning the reliability of PBT's (legally accepted partion ratio of 1/2100, scientifically it is random, making almost every read erroneous +/-), they pushed for Ignition Interlocks, not just for DUI offenders, they would like to see them in all cars. The legislation has yet to be passed and most likely will not for obvious
reasons. I have read quite a few articles written by doctors, lawyers, journalists, and special interest groups that show MADD to be a neo-prohibitionist group. I, on the other hand, am going to try and excell from the usual reports and expose the group for what they are doing, and their lack of scruples.
I have found the statistsics they promote are fallocious, a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and legislature into passing and accepting the unconstitutional practices that come with a DUI arrests. While we already know alcohol related does not mean the driver was at fault or even drinking, they also use MIM to calculate their data. Multiple Imutation Method in 2002 increased the alcohol related deaths in 2000 by over 4%. So between August and October of 2002, there were 727 deaths in 2000? Observe:
1) August 2002
2) October 2002
3) Today
Allright so they lie to justify their existence, why should they not it is a lucrative organization. Non-profit does not mean there are not executives with 6 digit salaries. A group started by Steven Steiner called DAMMADD which stands for Dads and Mad Mothers Against Drug Dealers was being sued by MADD for trademark infringement after gaining national recognization. The "grassroots" group was started in honor of Mr. Steiner's deceased son. The group was working on a shoestring budget while MADD bullied them intentionally filing the suit in the wrong court. "They are playing games with us. They are trying to bankrupt us," Mr. Steiner said and also stated "They have no case so they are doing this intentionally because they know they have the financial resources to outlast us." Tossing money around in a useless nature while December 31, 2005 they cut their safe rides program in Metro-Detroit because it costed $27,000, there was not enough taxies and my personal favorite "There has not been an Alcohol Related (AR) fatality in years", maybe because the program was working!! In a more recent article the group cited they were worried people were donating to DAMMADD, when the donations were intended for MADD-For the tax year starting 7/01/04, and ending 6/30/05 the group claimed $12,723,730 in donations from the Government alone, and the highest paid employees:
1)= $108,958
2)= $91,203
There are 38 employees paid over $50,000 a year!
So they like to make a lot of money, they are still trying to do the right thing, right? Well, the reason you do not have the freedom of choice to wear a selt-belt is due to MADD's lobbyists, while this is one public safety movement that has legitimate statistics to support it, critics claim it a ploy to give reasonable cause to pull you over, the more DUI's, the more Victim Impact Panels, the revenue increases, and their very existence is again justified. They cited research to show .08 laws would save some 500 lives a year, yet even their stats have not curved, again more arrests, 200,000 more! One might think they don't want arrests because that would show failure on their part, are they trying to stop drunk driving, or just create convictions:

"Alaska State Troopers' "You drink, you drive, you lose" campaign says the program has been a success in helping to stop DUI's. They say since the program began last July, they've made over four hundred additional DUI arrests...." Stopping DUI's, yet 400 more....

"When I hear that there are that many arrests, it warms my heart," Atkinson said. Atkinson is currently the head of the DWI resource center.

Pitsis-Rush was thrilled and somewhat surprised by the increase in arrests. "I knew there would be an increase," she said, "but I'm really amazed it's such a dramatic increase." That's a sure sign that drinking and driving is still a serious problem in this community, she said.
Extatic over their failure because that means revenue, using fallocious statistics to justify their existence, they do still have some scruples right?

"A 12-year-old Knoxville middle school student saw the remains of her father in a gruesome photograph of a drunk-driving crash during a presentation by police." A program similar to MADD's victim impact panel. If it were not for the DUI concern propagated by MADD, maybe they wouldn't be showing twelve year olds graphic material that would have a hard time getting an "R" rating, so they made a mistake, but was this:
While teen drinking is going to happen, a some parents decided to hold supervised parties where alcohol was made available. The story made headlines and the local MADD chapter stuck their heads in. The parents were sentenced to eight years and the local MADD president said she was "pleasantly surprised" at the original eight-year verdict, and "applauded" the judge's efforts. The sentence was reduced on appeal to 27 months but these parents were taking steps to secure the kids safety, again teens will drink, is it really better to make them hide it at locations they most likely will DRIVE to. Since this case another happened in Michigan where a wealthy mother did the same thing. However, there seemed no mention from the local MADD chapter here, further investigation shows she is the wife of the president and CEO of the Chrysler Group. Chrysler Group's DaimlerChrysler is a major "Platinum Sponsor" investor in MADD. Glynn Birch, MADD's national president concedes that these parties keep the roads safe, yet he opposes them anyway because he opposes underage drinking. So not only has MADD's mission changed from keeping the roads safe to preventing consumption of alcohol, they'll support a position that cuts down on the latter even when it increases the likelihood of drunk driving fatalities.

A news reporter sent to seek out a story on a man charged with drunk driving ten times found the offender to be human. In fact, her article quotes many of the mans friend an family which show him to be a caring, hard working individual who was well liked and respected by his peers. MADD was livid and charged the reporter with sympathizing with the suspect, and has had to endure many loud harangues.
This is not a drunk driver, a supporter of, an enemy of MADD or opposing lobbyist, but a reporter. I imagine this unsuspecting reporter was in awe at the vicious verbal taunts from a group that uses mothers (without fu****s) in its name!!

My personal favorite is when they fired one of their represenatives for his past "sex offense", and they claimed he was such a wonderful man, had he been driving at .o9 and caught then and only then should he have been castrated, branded, and forced to deal with his decisions for the rest of his life, so what if he thought he was soliciting a thirteen year old! "MADD does wonderful things," Steven Calamusa said. "Mark ( the Sex offender) has done wonderful things. The whole thing is so unfortunate." DUI more often than not hurts noone, yet....
Texas sends undercover cops into bars to arrest drunks before they drive. "Heather Hodges, an Abilene-based MADD victims advocate, said her group is working closely with the TABC on the project." Says Heather, ''We believe responsible adults should drink responsibly. And those that serve them should be responsible. A lot of people think it's OK to be drunk in bar, but it's illegal. A bar is not intended to be a place to get fall-down drunk ... . You don't have to be fall-down drunk to be considered drunk. Even after one drink, you aren't 100 percent.'' Notice the trend A) it is illegal to be fall down drunk B) you don't have to be fall down drunk to be drunk and C) one drink and you are not 100%, this has been the trend of MADD over the course of 20 years.
So the grass has been cut, and a money tree planted in its' place, and while they dismantle our Constitution (which generates billions), I would like to point out that there are at least 3000 suicides after DUI arrests every year, which exceeds the innocent killed by a drunk driver, so I will end this report with the same emotional rhetoric they use," If it saves one life, this report is worth it"!
