    A Safer Choice

    I hope Mr. Krahl is right about the sea change to policy based on science instead of servants of tyranny propaganda and religious dogma.

    The tobacco, alcohol and prescription drug gangs cause more death annually than all illicit drugs .

    Current drug policy disregards science and punishes families of citizens,confiscating their property for making a safer health choice in a social or medicinal drug; that is policy bordering on insanity.

    Across America paramilitary drug raids trigger violence rather than lessen the risk. It is called, "Overkill" to use such force on a nonviolent health problem. http://www.cato.org/raidmap /

    The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is having hearings on the violence in Mexico. Please send them a REPEAL the new prohibition message. It is really misleading to call it a drug war or drug fueled violence. The horrific carnage is triggered by the new prohibition and fueled by official lawlessness. http://oversight.house.gov/contact /

    Take away the main tool of servants of tyranny, gun control freaks and racists use these days to extend their agenda, the
    new prohibition.
