MADD warns off foe of illegal aliens
Washington Times ^ | October 27, 2007 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 10/27/2007 12:46:14 PM PDT by Travis McGee

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.

Because, as we have known all along, they are a bunch of busybody liberals.

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.

MADD for Open Borders-- MADDOB

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.

MADD is nothing less than Carrie Nation in modern clothes.

That’s why I’m a member of DAMM: Drunks Against Mad Mothers

Michelle Dallacroceis certainly not the shy type, that's for sure.

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.

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

Michelle Dallacroce was hopping mad...

and to steal a bit from a good old boy from Texas...

I'm mad too, Michelle!!!

Last I knew, MADD was based in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
When I visited about 10 years ago, there was even a highway sign
noting the location of their headquarters.

MADD should either shut the h-ll up.
Or join ranks with MAIA.
