--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- Dear Kris Millegan:With John Ashcroft warning that teams of Al Qaeda operatives are already in the U.S. and plotting attacks for this summer, the federal government is spending its resources hunting down and deporting people who smoked a single marijuana cigarette 10 years ago. One target is Fidencio Resendiz, who came here 20 years ago from Mexico to work in construction and raise his family. Ten years ago, when he was 23, he got caught with a single marijuana cigarette. It was his first and only arrest. But now, a decade later, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is trying to deport him. Please see http://www.mpp.org/USA/news_7477.html for the story. Technically, Fidencio doesn't even have a record in Missouri, the state where he was arrested. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge and received a suspended sentence. After a year, his record was expunged by the state -- so Missouri considers him never to have been convicted at all. But that makes no difference to the federal government. In the post-9/11 immigration crackdown, first-time offenders in low-level marijuana cases are being targeted for removal from the country ... even as the federal government admits that actual terrorists are succeeding at getting into the country. With the help of our 15,000 dues-paying members, the Marijuana Policy Project is fighting to restore sanity to marijuana policy and rein in an out-of-control federal government. According to MPP's records, you have not yet made a financial donation to MPP (or the tax-deductible MPP Foundation) in 2004. Would you please consider visiting http://www.mpp.org/donate0947 to donate $10 or more today? In the widely acknowledged absence of a policy to protect the country from terrorists, the federal government is instead focusing its resources on deporting long-time foreign residents who pose no national security threat to anyone ... but who happen to have violated our marijuana laws (along with 95 to 100 million other American residents who have used marijuana illegally). White House Drug Czar John Walters has even said that the United States might need to crack down on border traffic between Canada and the U.S. if Canada were to decriminalize marijuana. This means that marijuana -- not terrorism -- would be what causes the U.S. to get serious about securing our northern border. MPP's staff is hard at work -- in Congress, in the state legislatures, and in the media -- to educate the public and lawmakers about the need to end harmful marijuana policies like these ... but we need financial assistance from people like you to help fund our work. Would you please cast a vote for reform and visit http://www.mpp.org/donate0947 to help fund MPP's efforts to end the government's war on marijuana users? Thank you in advance for whatever you can give. Sincerely, Rob Kampia Executive Director Marijuana Policy Project Washington, D.C. ====================================================================== The Marijuana Policy Project hopes that each of the 94,000 subscribers on this e-mail list will make at least one financial donation to MPP's work in 2004.
