ALERT: Drug War Bill Threatening Freedom of Speech
--------------------------------------------------
VISIT: http://www.drcnet.org/freespeech/
5/8/00
An insidious attack on the 1st Amendment is taking place, and
your help is needed to stop a bill that the House Judiciary
Committee is scheduled to "mark-up" on Tuesday, May 8th or
Wednesday, May 9th. Your help is needed to oppose the bill in
Judiciary until then and in the larger House if it gets
through. Please visit http://www.drcnet.org/freespeech/ and
tell Congress that H.R. 2987, the so-called "Methamphetamine
Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999" won't stop meth but will
injure the Constitution.
If H.R. 2987 passes, anyone whose web site even links to
certain kinds of drug information could face up to ten years
in federal prison. Groups like DRCNet that are devoted
strictly to policy reform could be placed at risk through
association. Web sites helping patients make decisions about
marijuana as a medicine could elicit the heavy hand of the
criminal justice system, as could sites helping to reduce the
harm of drug addiction through safer-injecting techniques and
other harm reduction measures.
Other provisions of the bill are no better, requiring the US
Sentencing Commission to increase mandated federal penalties
for methamphetamine offenses and moving drug policy as a whole
further down the drug war's destructive path. Please tell
Congress you oppose H.R. 2987 in its entirety, but that you're
particularly opposed to the sections titled "Advertisements
for Drug Paraphernalia and Schedule I Controlled Substances"
and "Criminal Prohibition on Distribution of Certain
Information Relating to the Manufacture of Controlled
Substances."
Please visit http://www.drcnet.org/freespeech/ to send a free
e-mail or fax to Congress. While you're doing that, please
write down your Representative's phone number, which our
system will provide, and call it to make even greater impact,
or just call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask
to be transferred.
Please make your voice heard today, while you can!

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths,
misdirections
and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and
minor
effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said,
CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
