  Dems Need to Address the Issue of Drug Policy Reform

  This will be a great opportunity to bring light to some of the issues involving the failed War on Drugs. I commend the work being done in Colorado such as the SAFER (Safer Alternatives For Enjoyable Recreation) initiatives and other drug policy reform work. It's not just about legalizing drugs, it's about ending the economically and socially draining harms caused by locking up non-violent offenders for what they put in their own bodies. Yes, citizens who pose a real threat to society should be punished, but filling up our prisons with recreational drug users, minorities, and young people is not the way to rid our country of crime.

  Education

  response to  Morgan Clendaniel's post Puff, Puff, Lie

  Help us change this terrible law

  If you would like to learn more about the Higher Education Act Aid Elimination Penalty (the drug provision that renders students ineligible for financial aid if they have been convicted of even a minor drug offense) and what you can do to help repeal it.

  I am the president of the chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy at the University of MD - College Park. While rapists, arsonists, and murderers are all eligible for federal aid to attend college, those with drug convictions are automatically barred. The War on Drugs is failing, has failed, will continue to fail unless people start speaking up about it. Check out Students for Sensible Drug Policy and other reform organizations that are fighting for freedom, equality, and justice.

  Keep fighting the good fight!

  Peace and Love,
