Officer at the North Texas Affiliate and I just want to thank you, Bob, for supporting our cause and posting this. I understand there are those out there who don't know and understand what MADD is really about....it is a shame. I won't waste my time defending our organization to someone who already has their mind made up. I will, however, encourage everybody to drink responsibly this holiday season and please designate a driver. I am the Dev.

MADD has gone so far off course that even its own founder won't have anything to do with it. Money to MADD goes to paying the over-inflated salaries of its humongous staff. A staff by the way which perpetuates itself by making false claims about how many real innocent lives are taken each year by Drunk Driving. MADD makes more than Fifty One Million Dollars ($51,000,000) a year and pays its executive director over a quarter million dollars a year. Most Executive directors of charities earn far far less. Staff for MADD is nearly 45% of its budget. Additionally it has one of the lowest efficiency rankings in the Charity Navigator's rankings. (www.charitynavigator.org) Over-all it only has a rank of 2 out of 4 stars. The American Institute of Philanthropy gives it a "D" (A+ is the highest). The continue to perpetuate that drinking and driving is a crime (Drinking and driving intoxicated is a crime) and they continue to try to lower the BAC for legal driving where in fact there has been little proof that .08 is an accurate figure for such a criminal charge. They also support laws that are designed to keep people charged with DWI and DUI from having lawyers and laws that are designed to further butress their view that alcohol should be a banned substance. MADD as presently constituted is nothing more than a lobbyist group they are corrupt and they publish false and misleading studies. They are at the front of a movement to keep real science out of the courtroom so as to support their positions and salaries. NO BOB do not be fooled. MADD IS NOT A CHARITY WORTHY OF YOURS OR ANYONE ELSES "SUPPORT". Robert I love you but you have got to stop drinking the kool-aid with this one.
