Today the Drug Truth Network announces another contest! Win $100 for the first LTE using a quote from the DTN transcripts. Win $300 for the individual or organization with the most LTE's referencing DTN transcripts on December 31, 2008. We may have 1/20 the coverage of Hannity or Limbaugh but our listeners are mighty! Here's a great example from Wednesdays Cultural Baggage program, from Judge Pat Lykos who is running for district attorney of the gulag city of Harris County, (Houston, Tx): "We need to go after those banks and other institutions that are laundering the money. The politicians who may aid and abet this evil trade. I see these, I see the dispensing of drugs in our minority community as sabotage and bigotry and they've destroyed neighborhoods." Here's one from Dr. Donald Tashkin, the esteemed NIDA scientist from the Cultural Baggage show of April 9, 2008: " there definitely are a number of studies that suggest an antitumoral effect of THC." There are now many dozens of our shows with transcripts available at www.drugtruth.net. I urge you to use them in you LTE's, Op-Eds and other correspondence and BONUS, make money for yourself and your organization. DTN interviews judges, congressmen, politicians of all stripes, scientists, doctors, patients, prisoners and providers. Working together, we can bring this drug war to a screeching halt. To enter the contest, simply send an email with a link to the newspaper story with the DTN quote to [email protected] Good luck!
