Dear Friends,

I am writing to quickly share two major victories in Congress this week that wouldn't have been possible without your help:

• A few moments ago, the House of Representatives passed historic legislation that addresses the unjust difference in sentencing for crack compared with powder cocaine.  The bill will soon move to the White House for President Obama's signature;
• And just last night, the House also passed a bill that commissions a review of drug laws and our nation's prison population - with the goal of reducing the number of people in prison.

You are a part of this historic victory - you made them listen.  Without your calls to Congress and donations to groups pushing the issue, none of this would have been possible... 

The fight is not over yet, but we have never had greater momentum.  Keep up the great work! 

Thanks!
