Soldiers are gunning us down." Neil Young - "Ohio" - DRUG PRISONERS HALL of Shame - * Will Foster-Father of two, 1st time offender, medical marijuana patient suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, convicted of cultivation. Sentenced to 93 Years. * Douglas Lamar Gray-Disabled Vietnam veteran, one child, sold $900 of marijuana to an undercover agent. Sentenced to Life without Parole. * Nicole Richardson-Convicted of conspiracy to distribute LSD because she had knowledge of her boyfriend's dealing but had never sold herself. Sentenced to Ten Years without Parole. - DRUG FACTS AND STATISTICS - * 1.7 million Americans are incarcerated in prisons or jails. 1,350,000 are drug related prisoners. Nearly 80% of all prisoners in America are drug law related prisoners. * "Illegal drugs" kill approximately 5,000 people a year. The majority are heroin addicts killed by unknown or bad quality doses. * Drug deaths do not make the top ten list of causes of death in America. Check these killers out: 1. Alcohol and tobacco-500,000 a year 2. Automobiles-45,000 a year 3. Workplace accidents-60,000 a year 4. Prescription Drugs-100,000 a year 5. Marijuana-0 a year - Jury Nullification for Drug Prosecutions - * The American justice system provides for a defense against unjust and immoral laws with the concept of Nullification. Any jury may decide that a law is unjust, set the law aside in the case before them, and free the defendant. * Drugs laws assault personal rights, thwart the constitution, promote violence, bankrupt the justice system, and hand the police dictatorial powers. Jury nullification provides the average citizen the means to fight this injustice. Promote and use jury nullification for drug laws. - THE DRUG PROJECT ACTion List - The Drug Project recommends the following actions to end repressive drug laws: * Promote jury nullification - Juries have the right to set aside any law as unjust and free the accused person. Maintain a continual presence at your courthouse, handing out flyers explaining jury nullification. * Disseminate factual information about illegal drugs - Number of drug deaths compared to other causes of death. * Pressure legislators to take a stand on the injustice of drug prisoners. * Create a presence in the community with the distribution of bumper stickers, fund raisers, flyers, and handouts declaring of the injustice of the drug war. * Support the election of people committed to ending drug laws. * Adopt drug prisoners in your communities as "prisoners of conscience". Lobby and write letters on their behalf, demanding their release. * Confront judges, police officers, and prosecutors by phone, letter, and in person, demanding that they stop enforcing drug laws. ***** Drug Laws are a Crime ***** Bad American Ideas: Witchcraft Trials, Slavery, and Drug Laws Drug Deaths in America: Alcohol and Tobacco = 500,000 Marijuana = 0 This information (along with lots of other useful info.) is from The Drug Project at www.thedrugproject.org.
