Michelle Dallacroce was hopping mad when she received a letter from Mothers Against Drunk Driving demanding she change the name of her organization, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens. "I couldn't believe it," Mrs. Dallacroce said. "I don't know who would be confused by this. We don't even have the same acronym." Mrs. Dallacroce, president of the Phoenix-based advocacy group, received a certified letter Oct. 10 stating that MADD owns the rights to the name "Mothers Against" and giving her 10 days to stop using it. "While we do not oppose the name of your organization as a whole, we cannot permit the term 'Mothers Against' to be used in such a manner since it creates a likelihood of confusion to the public as to any affiliation with Mothers Against Drunk Driving," the letter stated. "MADD cannot be associated with your organization and the use of 'Mothers Against' gives a strong implication of a relationship with MADD."
Mrs. Dallacroce fired back with a terse reply: "No!" An official from MADD could not be reached for comment. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of organizations that use the name "Mothers Against," including Mothers Against War, Mothers Against Cancer, Mothers Against Guns and Mothers Against Medical Error. Why MADD would single out MAIA isn't clear, although Mrs. Dallacroce has her own theory. She contends that MADD fears running afoul of immigration advocacy groups, and at least one MADD official agrees with her. Virginia Faircloth, president and founder of MADD's York County, S.C., chapter, resigned last week after learning of the threat against MAIA, saying that MADD has turned a blind eye to the problem of drunken driving by illegal aliens.

madd is more than a do-good bunch of nice little moms. it’s a political force.
Because, as we have known all along, they are a bunch of busybody liberals.
And its run by men.
Illegal aliens EQUAL drunk drivers.
Go to the Wash. Times link to read the rest of the story about how MADD has sold out to Las Razistas, and won't even say boo about illegal aliens drunk-driving killing Americans.
Mothers against MADD - MA-MADD
Wonder how this intrigue works? What practical ties would MADD have with the Open Border crowd?
I'd like to know what the figures of illegals driving drunk are, the deaths they cause--but places like MADD wouldn't collect the information.
All these orgs lose sight, eventually, of their originating mission. The execs get fat and lazy and like going to fashionable cocktail parties...with designated drivers, of course.
Mad Am I Mad MAIM
well doesn't that just figure. gotta wonder what they're up to...
nothing attractive about a woman with a bullhorn, imho.
MADD has gotten too big for their panties.
MADD is nothing less than Carrie Nation in modern clothes.
That’s why I’m a member of DAMM: Drunks Against Mad Mothers
LOL.....
My son started a group @ college called SAAD... Students Against Asian Drivers....
He heard rumors the university was not to happy about it so he shut the website down.....He had about 300 members....
But we need folks with a lot of nerve, if we're going to prevail in this struggle against the immivasion.
Here is the link to Michelle D's group, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens.
I have contacted MADD in the past trying to get them to take a stand/notice of the alien drunk driving problem. NO answer. They need to be pushed to speak up on this and quit their whining.
Terry Anderson has had Michelle on his radio show several times.

They have long since gone beyond any useful purpose, if any, they ever served.
