In Holiday Message, Martha Stewart Urges Americans To Reform Drug Laws
Drug Policy Alliance Applauds Stewart for Adding Her Influential Voice to the Growing Movement
http://www.marthatalks.com/
Calling for Alternatives to the War on Drugs
In her holiday message, posted today on her personal website, Martha
Stewart made an impassioned plea against the drug war. "I beseech you
all [...] to encourage the American people to ask for reforms, both in
sentencing guidelines, in length of incarceration for nonviolent
first-time offenders, and for those involved in drug-taking," she wrote.
"Martha Stewart has joined the growing club of prominent Americans whose
experience behind bars has allowed them to see, up close, the injustice
and absurdity of the war on drugs," said Ethan Nadelmann, executive
director of the Drug Policy Alliance. "One only wishes that many more
Americans, especially those of wealth and prominence, could come to the
same conclusions- without having to serve time."
Other prominent Americans who were incarcerated and have since become
advocates for drug policy reform include former Arizona Supreme Court
Justice and Associate U.S. Attorney General Webb Hubbell, former Nixon
aide Chuck Colson, Congressman Dan Rostenkowski, former Pennsylvania
Attorney General Ernest Preate, former California Assemblyman Pat Nolan
and former New York Court of Appeals Justice Sol Wachtler.

Good news, and I have noticed more opposition against the drug wars from mainstream sources lately.

Isnt it a shame that it takes a well known "celebrety" type to bring attention to the ongoing problem. That said, I tip my hat to Martha if she helps get the word out. Slowly... oh so slowly... I can feel the eyes of reason and understanding opening around me. But its so slow.
Peace
