Law Enforcement Against Prohibition

My name is Rusty White I am one of the many speakers for www.leap.cc I live north/west of Fort Worth, Texas. We are an organization made up of present and ex-law enforcement officers, Governors, Judges, DEA, DA, etc...all walks of life, from Citizens to Teachers and Health Care Professionals from all around the world. We have all bonded together to end the most harmful policy " EVER " created! One that not only attacks our own people, but those of other countries as well, one far more harmful than " ANY POLICY EVER BEFORE ", that failed policy know as " The War On Drugs ".

Many do not understand how hard it was for those of us , many who spent their entire adult lives on the front lines of this war, against our own people. To one day look in the mirror and have to accept the truth and reality that we were part of the problem, NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION! Many will carry to their graves the memories of the " THOUSANDS " of lives they helped ruin, doing so without just cause nor merit! We can't correct the mistakes of the past, BUT WE CAN help prevent them from being repeated now and in the future! Our forefathers gave us a country where Individual Freedoms stand above others biases, bigotry, fear and self serving agendas! A country where Free People do things others don't like or approve of, " YET " our laws were SUPPOSEDLY meant to hold Americans accountable for their actions, NOT " OTHERS BELIEFS " NOR JUST THEIR PRIVATE CHOICES! Sadly that is no longer the case! In the supposed freest country on earth WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE IN PRISON " THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON THIS PLANET"??? Many solely for their choices, NOT THEIR ACTIONS!!!

WE ASK ALL TO STAND AND JOIN IN A JUST CAUSE! If we don't those coming behind us, DON'T HAVE A PRAYER!!! Your continued silence is the weapon " THEY " use to justify this atrocity being used against the sons and daughters of America and those of the world!!!

I can remember a time in this country when it was Morally Wrong and unacceptable for one to spy on their neighbors, family, friends and children. When those who couldn't or wouldn't MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS were called " BUSSIBODIES " and rightfully looked down upon with disgust BY ALL ! It is my personal beliefs that many of our problems today, here at home and around the world. Are a direct result of years of a unacceptable action leading us in to the mess we are now in. If we had all practice two of the most basic rules of a free nation and free people and demanded our government did the same, we would not be in this mess!

Those rules being " MIND YOUR OWN DAM* BUSINESS , and OUR LAWS SHOULD BE BASED ON " INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS" ABOVE AND " BEFORE " ANYBODIES MANIPULTED BIASES,FEARS, BIGOTRY AND SELF SERVING AGENDAS!!! IMPO.

Terrorism<war on drugs>

Rusty,

The U.S. Army Manual defines terrorism as: "The use of violence or threat of violence to attain goals that are political, religious or ideological in nature." Ideologically speaking the "war on drugs" constitutes an act of terrorism by the U.S. Government, by its own definition, upon its own citizens.

MikeMD, Brother that info

MikeMD,

Brother that info is so sad, yet so true!!! They can only get away with what we are WILLING TO ACCEPT! Thanks for caring and speaking out, together we can and are making a difference. But those who enjoy their power and those who feed off this CASH COW will not give up easily, NO MATTER HOW MANY LIVES THEY RUIN!! Ignorance is bliss and some what of an excuse for ones actions, “ BUT “ after the truth is known those who refuse to correct their ways SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON! IMHO.

May those who manipulate their personal self serving beliefs and agendas in to laws to feed on our people , SUFFER JUSTICE AT AND BY THE HANDS OF THOSE THEY HAVE ABUSED AND VIOLATED!!
