At a special conference held in Stanford Ca, Hoover Institute, late in Feb., these signatories produced, with others added later, a resolution calling for open and objective fact-finding, and for an end to the war against Americans which is drug prohibition. They have drawn significant support from Americans of differing political affiliations. A number of 'local government officials' across the nation are expected to add their signature and support in the weeks ahead. By mid-June other signatories will be announced and a Mayor's Conference with the President will be called to empower The Commision.

You can be a key part of this process. It will take very little of your time. All you have to do is let your government officials know that this resolution has strong support among the general public. Then all of US will send a copy every month with signature to President Clinton, plus your Congressperson, and Two Senators as well.

And when you do, to spread the word and resolution, use 'END THE DRUG WAR, SAVE OUR CHILDREN' stamps on the front of the envelope. When politicians see mailbags full of envelopes with these stamps, they will know the time has come for change and call for The Commission. These stamps will electrify the push for victory by all the Champions of Liberty, just as the "REPEAL STAMPS" from the 1930's helped bring down Alcohol Prohibition. It is ALL up to YOU.

They took away our therapeutic drugs. They took away oyr provacy. They took away our Bill Of Rights. They are taking away our neighbors, and they are charging us $50,000 a year each to keep them locked up. Don't wait until they come to take you.

Sign the resolution for PEACE. Then make it a "chain resolution" to your friends, neighbors, and relatives. Send your copies each month, urge them to do the same. Keep sending each month 'for the duration' of this war on our children.

RESOLUTION "FOR PEACE"

by THE

COALITION for NATIONAL DRUG POLICY CHANGE

(Signed at the Hoover Institute)

WHEREAS, the overall situation regarding the use of drugs in our society and the crime and misery that accompanies it has continued to deteriorate for several decades; and

WHEREAS, our society has continues to attempt, at enormous financial cost and loss of civil liberties, to resolve drug problems through the criminal justice system, whith the accompanying increases of prisons and numbers of inmates; and

WHEREAS, the huge untaxed revenues generated by the illicit drug trade are undermining legitimate governments world-wide; and

WHEREAS, the present system has spawned a cycle of hostility by the incarceration of disproportionate numbers of African-Americans, Hispanics, and other minority groups; and

WHEREAS, the number of people who have contracted AIDS, hepatitis, and other diseases from contaminated hypodermic needles is epidemic under our present system; and

WHEREAS, in our society's zeal to pursue our criminal approach, legitimate medical uses for the relief of pain and suffering of patients have been suppressed.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that oyr society must recognize drug use and abuse as the medical and social problems that they are and that they must be treated with medical and social solutions; and

FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, that an objective commission be immediately empowered by the President and by Congress to recommend revisions of the drug laws of these United States in order to reduce the harm our present policies are causing.
