War
6/16/00
As noted above, S. 2612,
the "Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act" has incorporated the same anti-free-speech
provisions present in H.R. 2987, the "Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation
Act," as well as other harmful drug war provisions. Some of the provisions
are also present in the Senate version of H.R. 833, the "Bankruptcy Reform
Act," currently in a conference committee that is reconciling the House
and Senate versions, though at last report the ban on provision of information
relating to use of illegal drugs has been dropped.
Please oppose these destructive
drug war bills -- visit http://www.drcnet.org/freespeech/
to send a message to your US Representative and your two Senators, and
follow up your e-mail or fax with some phone calls. Please don't
delay -- the bankruptcy bill could be reported out of committee at any
time!
-- END --
