"Protestant, Catholic and Jewish Clergy Speak Out Against The War On Drugs." In the documentary produced, in cooperation with the Interfaith Drug Policy Initiative, by Mike Gray; author, film maker, and Common Sense for Drug Policy Chairman. "I would say that the war on drugs has caused as much devastation to communities around this country, particularly low income communities, as the drugs themselves," laments Rabbi Michael Feinberg.
It's really worse than that: "Drug prohibition causes more pain, suffering and death than the drugs themselves." Cries Howard Wooldridge of LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. Watch the LEAP video, "End Prohibition Now!"
Our politicians play on our fears to make us more accepting of their waste of our precious lives and resources. Flushing $50 billion per year down the drug war drain fails to prevent cannabis, hemp or marijuana from being America's number one cash crop! For perspective, a billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
Flushing those billions of tax dollars failed to staunch the flow of black market drugs and made our teens more aware and curious about them!
"Over the lifetime of the drug war, we have given U.S. law enforcement more than $1 trillion to stop the flow of drugs." Rants Dean Becker, Producer of Drug Truth Network. Over that same period more than $10 trillion untaxed dollars flowed to terrorists, dangerous cartels and violent gangs.
Watch "In Search of the Drug Lords" a video produced by Dean Becker that was banned on Utube. Prohibition is a war on our own people and on indigenous cultures around the world.
War Made Easy exposes the government's and the media's history of deceiving the American people; leading us into war after war. With each new conflict the civilian casualties have risen, now at 90% in Iraq.
Once Americans stood proudly for freedom from oppression. America now has the dubious honor of being number one in the world for having the most people in prison. The Land of the Used-to-be-Free has become the most incarcerated nation in history!
Our heroes, who have given their lives for this country, died for freedom and for making this world a better place will have died in vain; if the American dream of self-government free of tyranny and big government oppression dies.
Try celebrating Thomas Jefferson's Birthday, the birth of the most hard-core, anti-authoritarian of the Founding Fathers and you may get hauled off to the poky in handcuffs these days!
Official absurdity and lawlessness rules, especially in public education. Do we really even allow freedom of religion in America anymore? How about free speech?
Join the Easy Revolution. The web is the fastest growing communications medium in the history of the world. A powerful tool, a window of opportunity, in our war of good over evil; the Internet continues to revolutionize the way we communicate and has enormous potential for reshaping the political process.
Many of today's leaders seem to have minds like concrete; thoroughly mixed up and permanently set. Blinded by the light of billions in tax and lobby money; bleeding leaders, thus corrupted, are blithely unconscious of the societal harm their policies cause. Jiminy Cricket, where is their conscience?
Many supposed "watchdogs of our liberty" news reporters have forgotten that relevant nonpartisan journalism speaks truth to power! Are you tired of nonsense talked to death by the media instead of the issues being covered in the presidential primaries?
Mexico's drug war has escalated to the Blood Baths of violence we saw during alcohol prohibition. Juarez today is no different than the roaring 20s in Chicago, prohibition triggers violence in our streets and along our borders.
We need to fight drug abuse with compassion; treat nonviolent abusers as patients not criminals. Fight use with factual evidence! We are diminishing the use of tobacco with the campaign, Knowledge is Contagious, so Infect Truth!
The cumulative effect of current policy is becoming obvious; while we police individual recreational and medicinal use of drugs; murderers and violent sexual predators roam free.
Prohibition fuels corruption of public officials and injustice in our courts. It incites terrorists by forcing senseless policy on other countries. The black market supports despicable people who sell to children and who recruit them to sell to their peers. The statistics reveal that racism is epidemic in the drug war.
US Representative Barney Frank has filed a bipartisan federal bill to legalize "small amounts" of marijuana and make room for serious criminals. Representative Ron Paul is a cosponsor. Ask your Congressperson to cosponsor the, "The Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act"- HR 5843.
If they are hard line drug warriors, ask them to at least support HR 5842 which would allow the medical use of marijuana in states that have chosen to make its use for medical purposes legal with a doctor's recommendation. The debate over medical marijuana or cannabis is really a scandalous controversy over whether this very easy-to-grow herb should be allowed to compete with pharmaceuticals for pennies on the dollar.
Harassing the sick and dying is an un-American activity.
Restore justice in America; in the world, construct science based drug policies about saving and rehabilitating instead of ruining lives. Get tough on violent crime! Warriors can get their adrenaline rush increasing public safety; chasing killers and other violent predators.
