Dope & Change: Terrible Drug War Expansion Bill Being Pushed by House Dems
Via the Drug Policy Alliance's Facebook page:
House Democrats have scheduled a horrible drug war bill for a vote tomorrow (Wednesday). The Drug Trafficking Safe Harbor Elimination Act of 2010 (H.R. 5231), written by Rep. Lamar Smith (a Republican drug war extremist), would expand problematic drug conspiracy laws, apply mandatory minimum drug sentences to more people, increase racial disparities, and subject Americans to incarceration for drug offenses and public health interventions that are legal in the foreign country in which they're committed. It expands the drug war at a time that most Americans want major drug policy reform.
Given that the GOP and the Dems suck so much, is it any wonder people are fed up with the two-party system?
