Along with our weekly in-depth Chronicle reporting, DRCNet has since late summer also been providing daily content in the way of blogging in the Stop the Drug War Speakeasy -- huge numbers of people have been reading it recently -- as well as Latest News links (upper right-hand corner of most web pages), event listings (lower right-hand corner) and other info. Check out DRCNet every day to stay on top of the drug reform game!

Fat Chance
If this is a campaign promise, it ought to be considered as just that--windy platitudes. Besides, this moax has no chance of being nominated, let alone elected. I doubt if he's promised this anyway. It's the first I've heard of it. If he did promise this, it's political suicide, given the disgusting law-and-order mentality of most of the US electorate.
