Quote
of
the
Week:
It's
time...
8/8/97
This week's quote comes from Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), on why he
introduced a bill to lift the federal ban on funding for needle exchange
programs.
"We cannot close our eyes any longer and pretend if we 'just say
no' people are going to do the right thing.... It is now time to lift the
ban."
Amen, brother.
