MADD gone mad
An Associated Press story by Brock Vergakis finds that Utah's Mother Against Drunk Drivers chapter has gone rogue from the national organization — proposing draconian drinking policies that the national group wants no part of.At the last Legislature, Utah MADD circulated a white paper to lawmakers that included a list of demands for any new liquor legislation, including:
- Surveillance video and storage of tapes.
- No hotel bars within public view.
- Records of everyone who enters a bar.
- No bars in restaurants.
- Booze in state liquor stores can only be sold at room temperature.
Evidence of Utah MADD president Art Brown's unauthorized positions can be found in the state's new liquor and bar policies that Gov. Jon Huntsman will sign into law today.
Chuck Hurley, MADD's national executive director, told Vergakis the organization allows flexibility for local chapters, but the Utah group went too far:. . . on matters of key issues, obviously, anything that would portray MADD inaccurately as a prohibitionist organization we have to be pretty clear on and we have to speak with one voice.

And this surprises us, how?
Don't for a minute believe MADD originated the Utah agenda. The grand madam of Utah, Gail Ruzicka and the Eagle Forum are behind this.
Not to mention the troubled and ugly GOP party.
Nationally, MADD is a respected and well-appreciated organization. In Utah (Mormonland) it is outside, a pretender that spits officiality, but untruth is its character. Don't believe anything this Utah MADD says. It is the Mormon church, Ruzicka and the GOP (Mormon) legislators.
I just want to know what kind of mother Art Brown is. I can kind of guess, but probably shouldn't spell it out here.
