This is completely true. Candice Lightner, the founder of MADD, even resigned because she felt the organization had evolved to an outright prohibition lobby rather than an anti-drunk driving group.

In 2002, Lightner stated that MADD "has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I had ever wanted or envisioned … I didn't start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving"
