Another day of nos. No, no, no, no and guess what – no. You want what? – NO. What part of no did you not understand. Na na na na na. It’s becoming comical how predictable it can become. I contacted the local MADD chapter. They took my info & listened to what I had to say, very sincerely I must add. But said that they cannot sponsor any programs; they cannot endorse anybody & don’t expect any financial support. Don’t even think of including MADD’s name in anything. MADD does not do any of that.<\/p>\n
Oh and the assistance with getting the FDOT to act – well this must be decided by national – but that may take “a while”. AHHHH more nos, even the people who’s mission statement says that they are all about helping the victim.<\/p>\n
I must realize that MADD has its focus (even if I think its limited) & they have defined their structure of ways that they can help. I mean that they focus on alcohol & drug related fatalities (in FL – 15% of all fatalities) and that is what they do. So they are not the ones to help me. I must go the grass-root route.<\/p>\n
But, I must admit that I got MAD at that. The feeling I got though, is that – how can an outsider tell MADD what to do. They know what the REAL problem is. Alcohol is the REAL problem & they are going to stick to the national numbers (which shows that fatalities are down) instead of paying attention to the local numbers. But what I am trying to impact is the real major cause of fatalities – Careless & distracted drivers (Careless – 25%, Failure to yield – 13%, Excessive speed – 13%). Am I wrong MADD? These three only combine to 51%. That’s well over 3 times what MADD is focusing on. Something needs to be done about these fatalities! Oh well – time to move on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
