Yes,…you’ve read it right !
The “DRUG WAR”. No.
We should call it what it is. The “WAR ON AMERICANS”.
Those who are making the decisions for the rest of us, are
too afraid to tell us the truth!
I’m going to jump right in and list some IMPORTANT issues that
will change so dramatically, they will either
Be greatly reduced or completely eliminated, if we stop this
war. And then I will explain how.
Illegal Immigration,
drug importation, terrorist funding, street gangs, prostitution,
addict robberies, drive-by killings, DEA(and related
agencies), taxes toward these
agencies, loss of civil rights and privacy laws, family
break-ups, mass imprisonment
and prison overcrowding, foreign drug cartels, and dirty police.
I can keep going, but I
have to stop somewhere. You should notice that many of these
issues are considered
some of our countries most important and are always cause
for heated debate. By
ending this war we can change the USA for real, and for the better!
Legalization will allow the government to regulate and profit from drugs. This
will stop the high cost of
drugs, and their availability on the street, witch is
crucial to this plan.
By devaluing drugs, you take the attraction of drug dealing
away from everyone!
- Illegal Immigration ; Millions of Mexicans plan to become
wealthy drug dealers, as
They carry duffle bags full of drugs over the US boarder.
Approx. ??? illegal mexicans
Jump the US
boarder every year. 25% of all inmates in California prisons are illegal Mexicans.
Nearly $50,000 is spent per year, Per inmate in the US. Over $190 mil. Is lost every
year to uncompensated medical bills by Illegal immigrants. All Of this
non-cense will end!
- Drug Importation ; Not only will the Mexicans stop their stampede
over our boarder,
But all countries will stop their shipments, because there
is no more profit to be made.
Accumulatively, More than $1 billion is spent every year on failing
to keep drugs out of this country.
- Terrorist Funding ; Again, reducing the value, will
eliminate their income from drugs.
They will have less ways to buy guns, bullets, tanks, missiles,
or spies in the US.
- Street Gangs ; No more gold, no more cars, no more guns,
and no more glorifying gangs. No more fighting over corners to sell on, and
they will have to get real jobs.
No more easy income for anyone who drops out of school, or
owns an illegal gun. This
will be the first major step in taking back the streets of
all our inner cities.
- Prostitution/Addict robberies ; I’ve linked these together
because they go hand-in-hand.
No one in the world knows what it means to have an
addiction, unless you’ve lived it !
And no one knows heroin addiction, unless you’ve lived
heroin. Not even a crack addict
Knows the pain a heroin addict feels. Heroin takes complete
control of your life because every dollar must be spent to support the
addiction. And the way things are now, there is
Nearly Nothing you can do to get that control back. Many of
these people are forced into addiction because of health problems. A doctor
prescribes medication to help people cope with sever pain, and they become
dependent on these drugs. That isn’t a flaw in their genetic make-up. It is a
natural reaction all our bodies have. The sickness you go through without the
drug will make A prom queen into a corner hooker, in as quick as it takes to
empty her bank account. That’s how quick you or your neighbor could be forced
into a life of crime. No one is immune to addiction. It’s like any other disease.
Providing treatment and help for these people, instead of jail, will allow them
to keep their Lives, their jobs, and their families, instead of loosing them. It’s
really the undeserved punishment and unconstitutional laws that destroy the
lives, not the actual drugs. No more lawyer fees or court fines, no more
prison, and a lot less children being thrown
into DCFS custody !
- Drive-by killings ; I give these a category of their own
because there are so many
Innocent people killed in drive-by shootings and shootings
in general. So many young children who can’t live There lives because some gang
banger can’t hit what they aim at.
A little girl Celebrating
her 9th birthday gets her face completely blown off by a stray
bullet, while she looks in The mirror in her bedroom. 8 year olds with 9mm
cannons, robbing people on street corners in broad daylight. These kids can’t
keep buy anything, without that drug money. In fact, they may have to remove
the word(s) “drug money” from the dictionary because the definition will loose its
meaning.
DEA &
Enforcement ; The billions of dollars we will save by eliminating all the
Law enforcement involved with the drug war is undisputed.
There are so many
Offices within offices and compartments inside compartments,
the savings
Will be extreme. Imagine having so much extra money without
raising any taxes. I could guess just how much that might be, but the figure
would be as meaningless as the guess at the “Banker Bailout” number was. So,
ill say $700bil. also. Americans may actually be able to relax and start to
enjoy living in the
US Once again, now that strict enforcement of drug law is
over with. We will need these
People To fill jobs as boarder guards, and for the large
increase in demand for jobs in the field of Drug Treatment.
Loss of Civil
Liberties/ & Privacy Rights ; I don’t think there is a person in
America
who would say they are happy with the way their government is
Treating them. Homes and bank accounts are stolen and
families are destroyed
by local police
departments, In the name of the Drug War. Someone who may be
struggling with a drug addiction has their new car
confiscated and gets thrown in jail because of a roach in the ashtray. And
although up to 80%
of those arrested aren’t convicted, Properties are never
returned . I read a story
yesterday of 4 police officers who were shot and wounded
serving a “NO KNOCK
SEARCH WARENT” at 2:30am . Well surprise, surprise ! No ! It
shouldn’t be a
Surprise to anyone that they were shot in such a manner !
Our homes are no
Longer our own. Police search 95% of all vehicles in traffic
stops. They have too much power, and are always abusing it. When you see a
Police Car in your rearview mirror, do you tightly grip the
wheel and even panic a little
Just at the sight ? Or do you relax and feel safer, knowing
a 22 year old with something
To prove, is running your license plate? Are we happy that
our kids are being expelled
From school for taking an aspirin or having a plastic butter
knife in their lunch. Zero tolerance laws have evolved from the drug war. Is
this what we intended? Again, I can’t even list all the changes that Will occur
in all these areas. I just hope to make you consider the possibilities of such
A wonderful change. Police will no longer be able to search you or your car. At
all ! That should not sound strange, but it surly does. And that’s just more
proof of the Problem. A cop should not be able to violate you with or without
cause, but they all do it every day! 80 year old women, people in handcuffs,
and someone already pinned on their stomach. This is who our noble police
officers are electrocuting with hand held cattle prods called tasers. There was
a day where American citizens
Were considered innocent until proven guilty. Today, you can
be convicted of murder
Without the proof of a dead body! We all know the country
needs drastic change. The
Thing is, we need change that is better for the country. Not
better for the image of the president
and his cabinet!
- Family Break-ups ;
So many of these issues are related I feel as if I must repeat myself.
Mothers and Fathers in prison for possession . If a “single
parent “is arrested, they will most
likely loose their job because often not even 1 phone Call is permitted. If you
are lucky enough to make a call, its either collect,(providing you have a land
Line # memorized), or you are made to use a service that
only lets you use a mobile Phone, no land lines can be used. So, if you manage
to somehow reach someone, your
Kids can now be put in care of the state, and your boss can’t
wait the days it will take to raise your Bail. And I hope you like bologna,
because it’s all you might get for your first few days, because wardens in most
states are “required” to supplement their pay by finding ways to Save by
limiting prisoners’ food to the lowest limits. And this leads us to,….
-Mass
Imprisonment/Overcrowding ; These two issues speak for themselves, but in case
You can’t hear them. Overcrowding in jails and prisons will
end. 1 in 3 Americans have been in jail! “No Violence Drug Offenders” make up
to 63% of all inmates. 23% are illegal immigrants. Trillions in tax-dollars are
Spent on housing inmates each year.
Prisons are overflowing with gang members glorified by rap
stars and children, because
Of the money drugs has made them. No need to say more.
-Dirty cops ; A
slightly separate issue, but lets face it, Its all about the money in drugs.
And we keep hearing about cops caught lying, stealing, or even murdering
someone because of drug money. Every week another person shot by police because
they
saw a gun. Solders fire when fired upon, but our own
police shoot first and look later.
No more profit means no more interest. It’s that simple. All
it takes is common cense and
the courage, to make the biggest and best change anyone has
made for this country and
the people living in it, since freeing the slaves.
President Barak
Hussein Obama could save his career, and his sole. Of course, he’d
Have to decide to start to make decisions to benefit our
country, first.
Ill finish my diatribe by giving opponents
to this agenda the last word, in a sense.
The only arguments I ever hear in this matter are :
More people (kids) will do drugs. And, more overdoses.
- Ok, so you won’t be
able to control yourself and will become a drug addict, because
drug use will no longer lead to prison? If some one wants to
get drugs today, we all know how very easy it is. And I am not going to choose to do drugs just
because I wont go to jail for it. Will you? No.
People who choose to experiment with drugs, will do so. And
a law will never stop that.
People who choose not to experiment with drugs, wont. And
“no jail” isn’t going to
change their minds either. Personally, I can decide for
myself, as a free American adult. And as far as making it easier for kids to
get, that don’t cut it either.
My 12 year old son could get a bag of pot in no time. But
today it’s as hard to get
legal tobacco, as it is to buy legal alcohol. I’m 37 and I
still get ID’d to buy cigarettes.
No one ID’s your kids to buy drugs?
- More overdoses.
Well, you would have to prove more use first but, even if there was
an increase in overdoses, does that mean we should keep our
Kids in the line of fire, let the economy crumble, and keep untouchable
cops and politicians in power? Or should we let someone who makes the mistake
of trying Cocaine or heroin, only risk their own life.
Even if the facts weren’t
clear. if there was an increase in use, it wouldn’t last long.
That fact has been proven by countries who have not become ”Police
States.” LEGAL drugs do become boring. Instead of being glamorized, as
they are now.
You can get high by sniffing gasoline but it will soon kill
you. Should it be illegal too? And when the biggest deterrent to cocaine use is
a skull and crossbones on the label, it will have a bigger effect than any law.
Prohibition has never worked in any case. As soon as something is made illegal,
There becomes an inevitable demand for that something. No matter what it may
be.
As free, American
adults, we can make our own decisions. That, is America. That is
Freedom! Or, if you can’t live free, don’t try to punish the
rest of us for your inadequacies. People forget that by restricting others and
making more laws, you restrict yourself and eliminate the very freedoms we
ourselves cherish so greatly. Every time a new law is made, another freedom is
lost ! Privacy is our right, and we must take it back!
We can always start the war back up again. We can break the
reunited families back up too.We can even go back in debt. if we want. So what
is there to loose by trying?
After all, we’ve only been loosing this war for nearly 40
years!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH .
We all have a skeleton or two in our closets. Every
one of us. Even you! Every day we
Hear about another celebrity or respected person who we admire,
who has some personal
or scandalous incident in their past now being revealed to
the world by the media. These
people are part of a small group. Less than 1% of our
population. A conservative estimate
of these people who
try drugs is about 80%. Are you prepared to go to jail? No? Well
you better get ready. Because heres another number,….50%.
this is how many people
who are in prison, that may be INNOCENT!!! Are you getting the picture yet?? I really
hope you are. Until all of us start to think in terms of
freedom, and start minding our own
business, privacy will remain a long lost entitlement . And
drugs will forever be an
epidemic!
