TomPaine.com this week features a line-up
of drug war articles and editorials, even going so far as to run an advertisement
in the Wednesday New York Times to draw attention to both their site and
the issue. Feature authors include TLC-DPF's Ethan Nadelmann, columnist
Arianna Huffington, William Cope Moyers of the Johnson Institute Foundation,
DRCNet Executive Director David Borden and TomPaine's own Shannon Hall.
TomPaine proffered a Drug Warrior's Pledge: "I Pledge Allegiance
to the Drug War of the United States of America, And to the Hypocrisy for
Which It Stands, One Notion, Under Czar, Indefensible, With Incarceration
and Injustice for All." Visit http://www.tompaine.com
or http://www.tompaine.com/related/index.php3/185
to check it out.
CNN's "cover story" Tuesday night was a
report on the Higher Education Act Drug Provision. The report featured
interviews with Marisa Garcia and Kris Sperry, both students affected by
the anti-drug law, as well as SSDP National Director Shawn Heller.
It was filmed at the HEA Drug Provision conference organized last May 4th
by the Hampshire College SSDP chapter.
