A “revolution of values” is what our nation needs, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. envisioned in a dream. Oh, Martin, too bad, the people are, "more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed," so here we are still suffering not daring to change the status quo. President John F. Kennedy said: “Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”
"Revolution is the Solution" cries Cindy Sheehan and isn't she in good company? Thomas Jefferson thought the US should have a political purge or revolution every 20 years or so because “lethargy” is the “forerunner to the death of liberty.” What would he think of voter apathy today? Will 2008 be different?
Ron Paul is one of the few true American heroes alive in government today, willing to be a rebel with just cause, against big government waste of our precious lives and resources. "Last month, the House amended the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to expand the government’s ability to monitor our private communications. This measure, if it becomes law, will result in more warrantless government surveillance of innocent American citizens," reports Dr. Paul, the embodiment of a real American patriot.
Join the Easy Revolution. Force leadership to return to our roots of self-government free of tyranny and oppression. Our Founders were good Christian men led by the Holy Spirit but money the root of all evil was part of it. They wanted to create the land of abundance. They knew ethics would have to rule for it to work. The Spirit of '76 is the Holy Spirit and our true North.
They warned us to be diligent in protecting our freedom and not let things get out of our control. Ooooops!
Save Internet neutrality! Support free speech, by stopping media consolidation! 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.
DARE to resist the War on Drugs! Advocates for the ineffective DARE program are trying to raise money to continue brainwashing children with dishonest information about drugs. Help Students for Sensible Drug Policy compete head on with D.A.R.E.'s head-in-the-sand ideology.
Effective drug education based on medical science builds student's confidence to make informed responsible choices. Present policy falsehoods and scare tactics undermine our credibility. We want to encourage drug free behavior not awaken their curiosity. Truth, trust and reason encourage open communications between youth, parents and faculties.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice has been accused of cruel and unusual punishment. Sherry A. Nance, serving a life sentence in Gatesville, says it is "an attempt at state-sponsored euthanasia of the growing number of elderly and disabled female inmates," a definite violation of their human rights. Read her letter and demand that this abuse of prisoners in TDCJ custody stop.
US Representative Barney Frank announced he plans to file a federal bill to legalize "small amounts" of marijuana. Ask your Congressperson to cosponsor the "Make Room for Serious Criminals" bill.
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. Minnesota could be just two or three weeks away from becoming the 13th medical marijuana state.
The bodies pile up like cordwood or holocaust victims (more than 33,000 precious lives lost in 2005) but does anyone care if overdose deaths skyrocket!?...that research shows little or no overdose deaths before prohibition? Dr. Leveque, of Salem, Oregon points out, "marijuana was once used to help people withdraw from opium and opiates."
In another uncelebrated scandal, we have not been reducing the harm with opioid antagonist, Naloxone, which has been around forever. It could be made available over the counter without a prescription or opioids could be prescribed only with an accompanying naloxone prescription.
New Mexico is the only state so far to show a little compassion. The NM 911 Good Samaritan law helps to eliminate the fear of arrest when calling 911 for help during an overdose.
Prescription meds mixed with alcohol figure in most suicides. Treating drug abusers compassionately, as patients with an illness might help prevent this tragedy and many others.. The sweet milk of human desire or our consuming passions can destroy us or, as we gain more control, make us stronger.
European harm reduction policy works so much better than our current response. Stop spending tens of billions of our tax dollars each year enforcing a punitive drug war policy. Illegal drugs are readily available everywhere and the harms triggered by prohibition continue to mount.
Stop further restrictions on our freedoms in the name of the drug war; warrantless surveillance, wiretaps and searches including searches of our trash cans and medical records. Stop confiscation of cars and other property without trials, entrapment and long prison sentences for the nonviolent. Stop racial profiling, drug testing, "no knock" military-style raids on people's homes and especially oooops, we made a mistake raids. Most horrific, stop the un-American activities of harassing sick and dying people for making a safer health choice and stop the threat of arrest for good Samaritans and overdose survivors after life saving calls for help.
"Few people in Washington, DC are willing to stand up and say enough is enough. That's why I really appreciate your support. Your emails and contributions remind me that my colleagues and I are not fighting this struggle alone. You're with us. The drug policy reform movement is growing and it's getting stronger every day." - Bill Piper, Director, National Affairs, Drug Policy Alliance
Arresting nonviolent people for making a safer health choice in a medicinal/recreational drug is shameful reefer madness. Can law enforcement find something better to do?
While we police individual recreational and medicinal use of drugs; murderers and violent sexual predators roam free. Get tough on violent crime! Warriors can get their adrenaline rush increasing public safety; chasing killers and other perpetrators of violence.
