RAVE ACT reintroduced!! Urgent Action Needed!
« on: January 14, 2003, 02:05:12 PM »
From the Drug Policy Alliance...
Quote
Last year you helped the Drug Policy Alliance stop the RAVE Act from becoming law. This year supporters of the draconian drug war bill are back with a vengeance.  They have stopped calling it the "RAVE Act" and have stuck its provisions in a popular omnibus domestic security bill. This is a common Congressional ploy: put controversial bills that can't go anywhere on their own into important bills, so that Members of Congress are forced to vote for them.

Your help is needed to stop these disguised RAVE Act provisions from becoming law!!!

The bill, S.22, is sponsored by Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD). The troubling drug war provisions are in the section entitled "Crack House Statute Amendments"

ACTIONS TO TAKE

*** Call your two Senators. You can contact your Senators through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. To find out who your Senators are go to: [link]http://www.senate.gov/senators/senator_by_state.cfm[/link].
  
Tell them:
    1) You oppose the "crack house statute" amendments in S.22.
    2) These provisions are just like the provisions in the RAVE Act last year.
    3) The provisions would endanger public health, free speech, and property rights.
    4) Urge them to contact Daschle's office and work to get these provisions removed from S.22.

** Fax Senator Daschle (even if he is not one of your two Senators).   To fax Senator Daschle go to:
[link]http://actioncenter.drugpolicy.org/action/index.asp?step=2&item=1448[/link].

** Please forward this action alert to your friends and family. The Senate needs to know that voters find this bill unacceptable.

They won't be happy until dance music is wiped off the face of the earth and every club is boarded up.   :(

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time...

We can only hope the scene will survive the latest round.  Guess the Bill of Rights doesn't mean much anymore?  :(
