Here is some food for thought. And I ask that you please have your Aide perform some INDEPENDENT (that is NOT just asking some lobbyist!) research on the facts relating to the following:
Many current and former members of the law enforcement and criminal justice communities are speaking out about the failures of our existing drug policies. Those policies have failed, and continue to fail, to effectively address the problems of drug abuse, especially the problems of juvenile drug use, the problems of addiction, and the problems of crime caused by the existence of a criminal black market in drugs.
By continuing to fight the so-called "War on Drugs", the US government has worsened these problems of society instead of alleviating them. A system of REGULATION and CONTROL of these substances (by our government, replacing the current system, which presently consists of control BY the black market) would be a less harmful, less costly, more ethical and more effective public policy.
Such a rational change in legislation would also SIGNIFICANTLY reduce or eliminate the overcrowding in US prisons.
Please consider the OBJECTIVE and RATIONAL facts, and try to not be so easily swayed by those who provide you with information in aid of preserving their own jobs...
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Geoff Tamplin

Wouldn't you think that Barack could get back to work in the Senate and do SOMETHING concrete for this country?????
He's being paid for this job and doing nothing.
Why can't he pass Kennedy's bill 2544(which he cosponsored)?
If he can't get things done in the Senate, don't EVEN make promises for when it's too late!!!!!!!!!!!
Give up a photo op, Barack, and get some work done in the Senate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits have run out. My money has run out. I unable to obtain employment and need more time to continue my search for employment. I am at risk of losing my car. Gas prices continue to rise daily. I am highly skilled in my field. My State Rhode Island is one of the hardest hit with unemployment. I am 53 old and have worked hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. The Senate, House and President continue to play games as peoples life's are put in jeopardy. Totally disgusting. So all the extra time that I am not spending on looking for employment, I will dedicate to making sure any politician that votes nay on not extending unemployment insurance will be out of a job their next term by informing the public of their decision in every forum available. I will encourage others to do so as well. It is time in this country for the people to take control of their government again and take it out of the hands of the uninformed, out of touch, uncompassionate, ignorant, greedy, self absorbed fools that are the true terrorists ruining this country. Pass a fxxkxxg bill extending unemployment benefits or you will be out of a fxxkxxg job!!!!!!!!!
Don't play politics with the American people anymore and pass HR5749 veto proof next week. People before politics. Please many need it!!!
