Drug War Chronicle this week
runs a feature overview of drug policy and the presidential election campaigns.
We begin with a look at the drug policy records and platforms of major
party candidates President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry (https://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/357/electionI.shtml),
followed by a discussion of drug policy and the presidential election among
drug reformers from across the political spectrum (https://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/357/electionII.shtml).
We then move on to an interview
with independent candidate Ralph Nader (https://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/357/electionIII.shtml).
Finally, we reprint our earlier interview with Libertarian Party nominee
Michael Badnarik (https://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/357/electionIV.shtml),
in order to present the full set of articles all together.
We have not covered the Green
Party, whose presidential candidate David Cobb has been largely overshadowed
by the Nader candidacy, but which also holds progressive positions on drug
policy issues. See the Green Party platform on social justice issues
at http://www.gp.org/platform/2004/socjustice.html#1001998
online.
For the record: DRCNet
is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization which does not endorse candidates;
and Drug War Chronicle is a reporting venue in which we seek to provide
complete and accurate information. The information in this election
feature is provided purely for educational purposes, with no electoral
agenda, and has been compiled objectively to the best of our ability.
