Senator Orrin Hatch played
himself in the movie Traffic, but now wishes he hadn't, according to a
statement on his web site (http://hatch.senate.gov/press251.html).
It's not surprising that an advocate of an indefensible policy (the drug
war) would find a reason not to like a movie that makes that policy look
foolhardy.
Traffic represents an opportunity
for activists to build the movement. Thousands of people are leaving
theaters every day, thinking about how the drug war doesn't work, but not
knowing that there is a movement afoot to end the drug war. DRCNet
is looking for volunteers who are willing to print out some flyers, spend
a little money and time to run off some photocopies, and hand them out
and/or gather e-mail addresses and contact information in front of your
local movie theaters as people file out of Traffic.
We have four flyers available
through our web site; take your pick based on whichever you think will
work best for you or with which you are most comfortable:
Theaters might not let you leaflet
inside, and malls with theaters in them might have rules too. Your
best bet is to stand outside the theater on a public sidewalk. When
you're done, send any filled out sheets to us at: DRCNet, 2000 P
St., NW, Suite 210, Washington, DC 20036, or fax to (202) 293-8344.
Thank you for helping to build the movement!
