Let's write to MADD and tell them to lay off from the Mother's against Illegal Aliens!!!  They need a wake up call!  Mother's Against Illegal Aliens doesn't sound one bit like Mother's against Drunk Driving!  

 

 

 

                 MAIA, P.O. Box 15133, Phoenix, Arizona  85060

E-MAIL:  mothersagainstillegalaliens@cox.net      602-687-8844    WEBSITE:   www.mothersagainstillegalaliens.org

 

MAIA's Michelle Dallacroce, the closest thing the nativists have to Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich.

 

Being that I'm both pro-inebriation and what the anti-illegals crowd likes to call a champion of "open borders," I normally might feel conflicted over a catfight between MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) and MAIA (Mothers Against Illegal Aliens). But when I learned of this kerfuffle MADD's tryin' to kick up over MAIA's name, well, I opted to side with the hottest chick in the room, which in this case happens to be MAIA founder Michelle Dallacroce.

 

See, Dallacroce, about the only MILF in the nativist hornets nest, just got a cease and desist letter from MADD telling her she must lay off using the "Mothers Against" part of her org.'s name, or face a legal firing squad. Check out this hooey from MADD's attorney Anisha Taherzadeh, and just try saying her name three times fast:

 

 

It has come to our attention that you are currently utilizing the term "Mothers Against Illegal Aliens" as the name of your company, as well as, in your domain name, www.mothersagainstillegalaliens.org . 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. MADD cannot be associated with your organization and the use of "Mothers Against" gives a strong implication of a relationship with MADD.

 

We ask that you immediately cease using the term "Mothers Against" in the name of your organization, on your website, and in any other manner. We request that you discontinue the use of "Mothers Against" within the next ten (10) days. Otherwise, we will assume that no response is forthcoming and will have to consider pursuing all possible actions to enforce our rights. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

 

Have you ever Googled "Mothers Against"? There's a Mothers Against Methamphetamine, a Mothers Against Sexual Abuse, Mothers Against Circumcision (no sharp kitchen implements allowed), Mothers Against Guns, Mothers Against School Hazing (for all you wimps out there), Mothers Against Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy, Mothers Against Gang Wars, Mothers Against Violence, Mothers Against Teen Violence, Mothers Against the Draft, Mothers Against Arpaio (our fave, BTW), Mothers Against Blogging, Mothers Against Dog Chaining, Mothers Against Senseless Killings, Mothers Against Brain Injury (is anyone out there for brain injury?), Mothers Against Genetic Engineering, Mothers Against Pornography Addiction (keep 'em away from me!), and on and on. There's even a Mothers Against Peeing Standing Up, made up of "moms... and other concerned individuals who want to stop peeing standing up, support the victims (those who have to clean up), and prevent unnecessary urine stream fragmentation."

 

Actually, it looks like MAPSU's just trying to sell merchandise, but then again, who isn't? (I'm coming out next week with a whole line of Feathered Bastard longjohns, so stay tuned.) Wonder if MAPSU got a letter from MADD as well? Or maybe MADD's pro-peeing standing up, as long as you're not peeing standing up because you've had too much to drink.

 

Dallacroce tells me she's hired a legal beagle who's informed her that MADD doesn't stand a chance, and she believes that the letter has something to do with the fact that MADD has, in her opinion, aligned itself with pro-illegals, and worse!

 

"They have morphed into a National and International Organization which now, unbelievably, supports La Raza and LULAC members who have served and still serve on their Board of Directors and who are also members of the Trilateral Commission and Council of Foreign Relations," writes Dallacroce of MADD on her Web site. Hey, Michelle, you forgot to mention the Bilderbergers.

 

Anyhoo, I put in a call to MADD's various PR people. MADD spokesperson Misty Moyse got back to me, and indicated that MADD was simply defending its trademark. Asked if they'd sued anybody recently over the issue, Moyse said she didn't know, but she promised to get back to me Monday with a definitive answer. Let me take wild-ass guess here: If there are all these "Mothers Against" orgs out there, maybe MADD hasn't been that litigious.

 

Can't see this going very far, but if it does, I'll be on it like chocolate on a Snickers bar. If Dallacroce does have to change her name, she could always see if "MILFs Against Illegal Aliens" is taken.

Geez Laweezz.  Wouldn't it be great if someone else using the "U" like from USA for another name were our biggest problem?  Get real.

I wrote MADD and told them that ever since one of their "leaders" was stopped for drunk driving I felt they were an organization of hipocrasy.  (My sister died at the hands of a drunk driver so you can imagine my disgust with MADD.)

I told MADD they didn't "own" the words "mothers against".  There are lots of things mothers are against...the murder of their children and loved ones serves as one example.

Anyway, I told them I felt they were just another organization who is failing in their mission because they refuse to recognize the huge numbers of innocent legal citizens who are murdered each year by illegal alien drunk drivers.  So why did they feel it was so revolting to share "mothers against" with MAIA?  (We all know it's just more PC BS...coward bastards.)

Then I suggested maybe they depended on illegal alien drunk driver-murderers to keep MADD in business?

I was sued years ago for using a name which another company had perceived me to be infringing upon their trade name.  I went to court and won because the name was----- as my attorney presented at that time "too generic".  I was able to use the name by adding one word different to the end. 

I think this should probably be the case here---I think  MAIAs are probably within their rights. 

But, now that this is brought up----has MADD been in the news for going after all these vehicular homicides committed by these illegal, drug carrying, drunk Mexicans?  -----I haven’t heard one. 

Not too long ago we had a father and his twelve year old son who lived less than five miles from me killed by a drunk Mexican.  

Maybe they are only Madd if the offender is a white, legal, American male.

The bottom line in this saga, is unless MADD has done a lengthy confusing copyright document that has been filed EVERYWHERE IN THE US, they have no leg to stand on. If they copyright "Mothers Against" only, they might have something to partially back up their claim. They would also have to copyright initials as well. Sure they can file suit, make the others spend money, but it won't work. If they indeed have such a right to "Mothers against" or "MA**" they would have cited that in the letter they sent to MAIA. But all that would solve would be the "Mothers" part, companies would still be able to use Mudders, or motha's, or Mom's.

It would seem to me that MADD has been left out of the spotlight for some time, and they are trying to get it back. Both groups should consider joining forces instead of bickering.

Amador, I think MILF was not appropriate, it means Mothers I would like to----, I think you can figure the rest out, Michelle should be respected for what she does, she won't have to change her name unless the other thousand organizations do. Its kinda funny that an organization like La Raza and MADD who recieve government money believe that their titles relly belong to them.

"MADD"  is being ridiculous..  IF they are really all about "anti-drunk driving"  they should sing the Praises of "MAIA"..... I haven't seen a day go by that I don't hear of a Killer accident involving a DRUNK ILLEGAL ALIEN... 

No license... No Insurence!!!

How right you are Kathaleen M. Ray!  MADD surprised me when they hooked up with the Mexican groups that are trying to take us down.  That whole group should be reminded of all of the illegal aliens that drink and drive resulting in the deaths of so many innocent people!  They are doing nothing except losing the respect of anyone that has supported them in the past or in the future.... At least U.S. citizens....

This article ties right in with this thread:

M.A.D.D.: IGNORE ILLEGAL ALIEN DRUNK DRIVERS

 

 

By Frosty Wooldridge
October 18, 2007
NewsWithViews.com

Out of 40,000 fatalities on America’s highways annually, drunk drivers account for 20,000 deaths. Untold numbers of drivers and passengers suffer dismemberment, whip lash, internal injuries, lacerations, contusions and broken bones.

Each accident occurs because chronic drunks hit the road with their 5,000 pound missiles! National studies show an average of 14,000 drunks drive our nation’s highways every hour of the day 24/7. No amount of driver training, gory crashes or continuing education stops drunken drivers from weaving through American traffic until they crash into someone.

On May 3, 1980, Fair Oaks, California, Candy Lightner’s 13-year-old daughter suffered death at the hands of a drunken hit-and-run driver that continued driving after numerous DUI convictions. "I promised myself on the day of Cari’s death that I would fight to make this needless homicide count for something positive in the years ahead,” Lightner said.

Lightner, a housewife, organized Mother’s Against Drunk Drivers, MADD. Years later, she resigned because her organization morphed into a “prohibition” stance instead of working for tough legislation against the crime.

Today, MADD operates contrary to the good of the American motoring public by hiding, even intentionally ignoring a growing highway nightmare: tens of thousands of drunken driving illegal aliens. According to Driven Magazine, Spring 1999, “The study was the first to analyze the fatal crash involvement of Mexican-Hispanic subgroups. This group had the highest rate of alcohol related traffic fatalities at 59.7 percent. Mexican-Americans followed with 52.5 percent.”

Every 14 seconds in America, someone suffers injuries in an auto crash. One person suffers death every 13 minutes. Every year, 3,000 children under eight die in car crashes.

The illegal Hispanic-Mexican population increased 57.9 percent in the past 10 years in America. From past statistics, Americans can expect greater danger on our nation’s highways.

Yet, MADD won’t go after the growing danger of unlicensed, uninsured illegal aliens causing death across America!

Driven Magazine reported, "In Mexico, the culture is very much a drinking culture. After a hard day at work, it is normal to end the workday by drinking beer. At social events - celebrations, visiting friends - it is commonplace to drink, for the men. Drinking alcohol starts early for male Hispanics--as early as age 12.

"Also, in Mexico, traffic laws are quite different and the use of seatbelt restraints is almost unheard of. So, when you combine the Hispanic drinking culture with the lack of education on drunken driving prevention, you end up with tragic consequences."

Driven continued, “Hispanics also believed that it takes six to eight drinks to affect driving. Even more discouraging is that statistics show that the overall death rate due to motor vehicle crashes is higher among Hispanics than it is among Anglos or African-Americans.

“U.S. Census figures show the Hispanic/Latino population is the youngest and fastest-growing segment in America. This rapid growth, combined with a higher tendency to drive after drinking, is a recipe for death.”

"The need to communicate lifesaving messages about drunk driving and underage drinking to the Spanish-speaking population is unquestionable," says Dr. Raul Caetano of the University of Texas School of Public Health and MADD national board member.

Unfortunately, MADD neglects to comprehend that we can’t change culture overnight no matter how much education. Culture takes decades to change. That means thousands of American lives hang in the gallows as millions of illegal aliens continue crossing into America.

This dilemma illustrates our national state of denial at the multitude of consequences facing us from the loss of the rule of law…from the loss of our sovereignty…from the loss of respect for our own society.

How could we stop the Mexican mayhem on our nation’s highways? Simple: close the borders. Create “attrition through enforcement” which would find aliens returning to their own country drinking and driving to their hearts content.

Beyond the Mexican dilemma, MADD’s lacks of creative ideas to stop drunken driving, which hasn’t changed since 1980 when Lightner formed the organization. Tens of thousands of Americans suffered alcohol driving related deaths since 1980.

For more information please visit: mothersagainstillegalaliens.org

Imagine how quickly we would have stopped drunken driving in America by this simple idea: 1. When a driver receives his/her license, he signs a document showing he understands the consequences of a DUI. 2. Upon receiving his first DUI, the driver loses his license for two years and he loses his car to impound storage for two years. He receives six months in jail automatically. He pays for hauling, storage and administrative fees. Private companies would love to store drunk driver cars. By losing the car for two years, the drunk driver couldn’t easily go out and obtain another one. 3. If the driver suffers a second ticket or DUI, he loses his license and car for four years. He goes to jail for one year, automatically with no exceptions. If he receives a third DUI, he is banned for life from driving with a felony record. 4. Each time, insurance rates double, then triple for each DUI. 5. If a friend loans his car to a drunken driving friend, the car goes to impound storage for the specified time period. If the owner wants it out, it will cost a flat fee of $2,000.00 or remain in storage for the allotted time. Cars never picked up after a specific time could be sold for auction.

This method guarantees the loss of cars for drunk drivers. They can’t pay the ticket and jump back into their car. This method would cut drunken driving 90 percent because when you take away their cars, you take away their ability to kill people. As it is, thousands of innocent lives in the past and into the future will continue a one way trip to the grim reaper because MADD beats around the bush and our nation’s leaders refuse to enforce the rule of law.
