We encourage you to personalize it: Please visit http://stopthedrugwar.org/openletter/ to read David Borden's open letter to DC's Chief Judge explaining why he won't report for jury service. Borden critiques the injustice of the drug laws, the adverse consequences the drug laws have on society, and the corrosion the drug war has wrought on the criminal justice system as a whole. Please also visit DRCNet's home page at http://stopthedrugwar.org to check out the latest issue of DRCNet's widely read, in-depth weekly newsletter, "Drug War Chronicle," to write Congress on DRCNet's latest legislative action alerts and to subscribe to the list and get this information every week! Borden writes, "with sadness for our country, but hope for its future, that conscience will not permit me to appear for jury service as your court has directed." He charges that "US drug policy is in a state of moral and humanitarian crisis" and that "jurors cannot... confidently rely on the information we are provided for deciding criminal cases." And he quotes Thoreau to explain why he's committing civil disobedience and risking jail and a fine by not showing up at all.
