MADD,
Inc. received $4,436,481 from arrestees 'forced' (MADD'S
word, not ours) to sit in on their VIP panels in 2006 ![]() And in California, police can enter your house without a warrant if they suspect a drunk driver is inside. |
Congress will decide whether to force the states through blatant extortion to pass laws mandating seatbelt interlocks for all first time DUI arrestees regardless of their BAC level. The device disables the car if the driver's breath has a minimal hint of alcohol. If you agree that interlocks should only be mandatory for drivers who exhibit actual impairment--those whose BAC readings are above .12 or who are repeat offenders, OR if you just believe in the 10th Amendment of our Constitution, then contact your congressperson and ask them to remove the clause from the 2009 Highway Act. <> 2007 Official Gov't Statistics: www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810985.PDF Of the 12,998 deaths involving a drunk driver, 10,792 deaths were the drunk driver or his passenger. 2,206 were in other vehicles or pedestrians, implying that they were all blameless victims. 2,206 is 5% of all traffic fatalities. If any of the 2,206 were impaired is not recorded and who was at-fault is never discussed. We know that the NHTSA makes up BAC numbers for an average of 60% of the drivers using imputation (statistical probability), so the real numbers will be lower unless they guessed right 100% of the time. The government quietly admits that their figures are approximate and that alcohol impairment did not necessarily lead to the fatalities. www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810985.PDF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
MADD is now MADD, Inc. The
new corporation was lucky enough to get $12,700,000 in government (taxpayer) money in
2004, without lobbying, since that would be an illegal activity for a non-profit
organization. ![]() As we celebrate the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution on July 4th, reality sets in. Where are you? A scene from East Berlin in 1970? Communism is washed up, but police checkpoints have migrated to a town near you. Welcome to the Brave New World. |
This box will
contain news, commentary or recommendations on a changing basis. Pavlov: Creating Hate. (It's not just about dogs anymore) Attempts by government and special interest groups to influence our thinking is not a new phenomenon. In the 50's, we were convinced that there was a Communist under every bed just waiting to enslave us and our families. The Commie hysteria went on to justified the Vietnam war in the 60's. Think about words
or phrases that make your blood boil. "Communist" has lost its magic, but how
about "drunk driver"! Twenty-five years and hundreds of millions of
dollars spent by our government, MADD and other anti-alcohol groups has rendered us
unable to view every drunk driver as anyone other than a vile, child killer. Read any MADD
press release. There is always a reference to a specific family member killed and the
continued grieving of the mother or father. And with deliberate motivation the killer
drunk driver morphs into any and all drinking drivers, who we are
told are just as dangerous; statistics be damned. You can't help but feel sympathy and
yearn for justice and/or revenge, but against whom? This social
conditioning is similar to Pavlov's experiments with his dog. Ring the
bell, offer Fido some food and watch him salivate. After a while, just the ringing of
the bell causes the dog to salivate. Sound the alarm, mention a dead child and watch
the public demand tougher laws against all drinking drivers. If he is
a killer he should be severely punished, and today's laws ensure that he will
be, unless he's a politician or policeman. Why is the same
hatred not expressed toward a speeder or red light runner who kills someone?
Because we have not yet been conditioned to hate these killers. Our laws
even mandate lesser punishment if alcohol is not involved. What happens when
the thought control groups reach their goal that it's not drunk drivers but all drinking
drivers that are the scum of the earth? It used to be "Don't let friends drive
drunk." Now it's "You drink, You drive, You lose." What does that
mean? Is it illegal to drive after drinking? If you have a beer and get behind the
wheel are you, in MADD's words, the same as a "drive-by shooter?" Say it on TV
for 25 years and, the public subliminally gets the message. MADD is
determined to convince us that Prohibition was a good thing, it was just done the wrong
way. They are doing it through hysterical unverifiable claims that tens of thousands of
innocent people are killed by drunk drivers each year. They are doing it by
exploiting and highly publicizing only those tragedies that involve alcohol. They are
doing it through media coverage that loves the sensational story and never checks the
source or the verifiably phony statistics. And once we are all conditioned to their alarm bell, there will no longer even be a need for them to feed us their lies.. ~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Misinformed About Drunk Driving? Read on:
No
donations are accepted by getMADD from individuals, the government or any special
interest groups <> Nationally, 12.8% (Not MADD's 42%!!) of all drivers involved in fatal accidents during 2001 are known to have been intoxicated according to the BAC laws of their state. This number is based on a systematic examination of the official government records of each and every accident involving a fatality during that year in the US. It is based on factual evidence rather than on estimates or guesses. (Individual police case data from www.ridl.us on their statistics page.) |

From 2004: The NHTSA assumes we have all succumbed to their anti-alcohol propaganda. This statement appears on their website: "Whereas: Each year drunk and drugged driving leads to one death every 33 minutes, one injury every two minutes and 1.5 million arrests nationally..." No longer is the target group vaguely called "impaired" drivers. Now they are all drunk (or drugged). This bold-faced lie, parrots the misstatements of MADD and shows the true agenda of a supposedly neutral government agency. | Random
Fact: In Fairfax, VA: More than 170,000 vehicles have gone through DWI checkpoints over the past two years, netting a total of 247 arrests for DWI and 169,753 people, (99.85%) stopped for no reason. Taxpayer cost $1,000,000+ |

A Proposed Law | |
Just a thought: Do you think the people who have lost loved ones to drunk drivers realize that they are merely pawns in promoting a Prohibitionist agenda? MADD is no longer fighting for stiffer penalties for drunk drivers who kill. They have already fought and won that battle. Instead, the highly publicized tragedies are being exploited by MADD to procure money and condemn alcohol consumption. | For the inquisitive, & patient researcher: |
