This Christian Science Monitor editorial positively reeks of desperation. You've got to give the prohibitionists at CSM some credit for seeing the writing on the wall, but their silver-bullet strategy for beating back the movement for marijuana legalization is a little less than intimidating:
Angry Jurors Refuse to Convict in Marijuana Case

As Americans grow increasingly disgusted by the waste and injustice of the War on Drugs, it seems inevitable that we'll reach a point at which the public no longer accepts the embarrassing excesses of prohibition. That's exactly what just happened in Montana, and it's a story that ought to terrify the drug war establishment.

Last Chance for Prison Reform (Action Alert)
Tell Congress to pass the National Criminal Justice Commission Act! |
Dear Friends,
With the current session of Congress winding down, there isn't much time left to reform our broken criminal justice system. So we've got to act now if we hope to achieve prison reform any time soon.
Senate Bill 714 will establish a National Criminal Justice Commission to "undertake a comprehensive review of the criminal justice system ... and make reform recommendations for the President."
I think we can all agree that such an evaluation is sorely needed. The United States has the highest reported incarceration rate in the world, imprisoning a higher percentage of its population than any other country. Our incarceration rate is five times the world's average incarceration rate, with a total of 2,380,000 people locked up.
Please take time today to urge your senators to support Senate Bill 714. For your convenience, a prewritten letter will be e-mailed to your member of Congress when you take action through this page.
Your calls & letters to Congress have gotten us this far! Please keep pushing!
Sincerely,
Aaron Houston
Executive Director, Students for Sensible Drug Policy
