The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee could vote as soon as this Thursday, November 5 on an amendment that will legally prevent some of the government’s top advisers from even discussing the idea of legalizing or decriminalizing drugs as a solution to the failed “war on drugs.” Yes, you read that right. The Senate just might censor its own policy advisers from giving science-based advice. The censorship amendment’s author, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), is trying to attach the speech prohibition onto an otherwise positive bill that will create a blue ribbon commission to study our nation’s failed criminal justice and drug policies. The commission is supposed to make recommendations for ways to improve the system, but how can they do that with the blindfold that Sen. Grassley’s wants to put on them? Please take action at http://www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.com/censorship and tell your senators to oppose the censorship amendment! The text of the Grassley censorship amendment can be viewed as a PDF here.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition: Don’t Let Congress Censor Legalization Discussion
- legally prevented discussion, hmmmmmm, if this flies, the future implications it could render are limitless, like…’this cell phone caused a lump to grow on my face’ - well we would talk about it, but in bill HR32453, we legally prevented any discussion about that matter. Pay your bill and move along.
