Good news: The Senate version of
California's anti-ecstasy bill, SB 1103, was voted down in committee 3-2.
This bill appears to have been defeated -- thanks in part to nearly a thousand
of you who used our web site to lobby against it. If you haven't
already been there -- http://www.stopthedrugwar.org/ca-ecstasy/
-- take a look to learn a little more about the issue and send a letter
anyway -- the Assembly vote hasn't taken place yet, and they could still
try something else, so making your opinion known is still a good idea.
In the meantime, thank you for helping to draw a "line in the sand" against
this extreme legislation!
