SAMPLE EMAIL & PHONE SCRIPTS, AND SOME LETTERS

Send Your Emails Through This Site

A FEW OF THE EMAILS I HAVE SENT:

1) "Please immediately introduce this bill, also known as JONATHAN'S LAW*:
-The Drug Enforcement Administration is directed to reschedule cannabis, also known as marijuana, into the category, “Generally Recognized As Safe”.
-All Federal restrictions on the possession, use, sale, and cultivation of cannabis are lifted as of the date on which this legislation is signed into law by the President.
-All persons currently serving Federal sentences for possession, use, sale, and/or cultivation of cannabis shall be released from prison immediately upon this legislation becoming law.
-All pending cases regarding the possession, use, sale, and/or cultivation of cannabis shall be dismissed upon this legislation becoming law.
-All current Federal investigations of cannabis-related activities shall be discontinued upon this legislation becoming law.
-All cannabis-related records will be erased for those who were over 18 at the time of arrest.
- No resources of the Federal Government of the United States shall be used to monitor, control, or regulate the possession, use, sale, and/or cultivation of cannabis, either acting independently, or in conjunction with any state or municipality.
-No resources of the Federal Government of the United States shall be used to influence, directly or indirectly, the internal politics of any state or municipality regarding their laws concerning the possession, use, sale, and/or cultivation of cannabis. This includes attempts to influence state legislatures, and also attempts to influence voters who are considering ballot initiatives.
-Considering that cannabis metabolites remain in a person’s body long after its effects, and the ambiguous data regarding the effects of cannabis on driver safety, all state laws regarding drugged driving must be based on physical performance standards, and not merely on the presence of drug metabolites in a person's system.
Thank you,
__________(Your name here)

* Named in honor of Jonathan Magbie, whose life ended on September 24, 2004. Killed by the callous indifference of the legal system of the District of Columbia."

2) "Please do what you can to have cannabis sold like beer or cigarettes, since it is safer than either of these. It is wrong to jail people for using cannabis, or for anything that does not involve a direct, charge-pressing victim."

3) "Please look into the science of cannabis and introduce a bill that will treat cannabis like alcohol/tobacco. You will be proven right and your honesty, bravery and logic will be admired."

4) "Hello and thank you for your work. This is to let you know that I support the end of wrongful imprisonment in America, and after eight years of searching, I have come to the conclusion that the War on Drugs has done more damage to our society than drugs ever could, and at such great financial expense. I urge you to look into the history of drug prohibition, especially cannabis prohibition at this time, and then look at the penalties even innocent families suffer due to the failed War on Drugs.
One thing is for sure: Cannabis is safer than cigarettes or alcohol and must be legal for adults. If nothing else, please look into that statement. Thank you."

5) "Prohibition did not work in the 1920's and it will not work today. By keeping drug prohibition, you are giving the drug market to criminals. The Drug War is Alcohol Prohibition all over again, and these laws are doing more damage to families than illegal drugs ever could. Alcohol is the most dangerous drug known to man, and it was made so much more dangerous during Prohibition. The drug war is nothing but a government jobs program, and a shameful one at that. Please end drug prohibition now.

6) "Please help put illegal drug dealers out of business by regulating all drugs.
If you would like more reasons to end drug prohibition, please visit the site of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition at leap.cc."

7) "Cannabis is safer than cigarettes or alcohol, and it is a safe and beneficial medicine, so it must be made legal for adults. I strongly oppose the use of our public funds to disturb the lives of peaceful people who choose to use cannabis over alcohol or prescription drugs. We learned in the 1920's that Prohibition does not work.
Please do your duty and live up to the oath you took to defend our Constitution. This means it is your job to protect our God-given rights. I know the truth about cannabis without a doubt, and I wonder how many other laws you support that you know nothing about.
Thank you, and please get to work correcting this
matter immediately."

8) "The Honorable ________,
I would like to share with you how I have benefited from the use of cannabis. First I will tell you that I have stopped using cannabis in order to be more outspoken about the Drug War as a whole, but mostly to protect my family from our very own policemen/agents. Stopping usage was not hard at all because cannabis simply is not addictive. I was addicted to tobacco cigarettes in the past, so I am very familiar with true addiction.
I discovered cannabis in 1995, and I am very happy that I did. I smoked cannabis regularly for 10 years, and I've suffered no health or memory problems. I have a clean record, my house is in order, and I am married to a wonderfully kind and generous man. We have a three year old son, who is happy, healthy and smart. I am a stay-at-home mom, and I am proud to do my best to be a good citizen and neighbor.
Cannabis helped me calm down. Before I found cannabis, I was often irritable, depressed, and just plain mad at the world. After using cannabis, I was more relaxed, peaceful and not so upset over every little thing. I did not forget to do important things. I was never unemployed - that is, until I had my son, then he became my job. I had more patience and loving feelings towards my infant son, who, like all babies, worked every last nerve until raw. I was happier, and I thanked God for cannabis every single day.
I am here to tell you that we are wasting an enormous amount of money to destroy countless families by continuing Drug Prohibition. Please read over the Noble Experiment called Alcohol Prohibition and be as wise in dealing with today's illegal drugs. As horrible as it sounds, illegal drugs must be sold like alcohol to put today's Al Capones out of business. Let private organizations handle treatment to those who want it. Don't give in to any pressure from those who benefit from our drug laws, such as prison industries, pharmaceutical industries, lawyers, prosecutors, unethical police, drug testing companies, liquor industries - Don't let them bully or bribe you into ignoring your Constitutional duty to protect our rights and properties.
Cannabis is a safe and beneficial medicine. At the very least, would you please help millions of Americans by looking into that fact? You yourself, or a loved one, could also find that cannabis can improve the quality of life, safely.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Melanie Marshall"

9) "Please take some time to research Alcohol Prohibition and then our current Drug Prohibition. I think you will find that Prohibition only makes matters worse, and that illegal drugs are not the threat to our nation as once believed. My deepest concern lies with the families of drug law offenders as they cope not only with the injustice done to them by their own government, but by the unnecessary imprisonment and legal costs keeping them down and out. The stress is always passed on to the children, and it is this that I cannot tolerate.
I understand it feels wrong to speak out against the drug war, but be assured that once you seek out the facts for yourself and present them, you will be proven right in the long run. A good place to start is with the group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, http://leap.cc. They know more than anyone how futile and costly Prohibition is, and how it's the only thing keeping drug dealers in business. Honest.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you do such demanding work for our country. Thank you very much, and please keep that oath you took to defend and uphold our Constitution."

10) "Cannabis is safer than cigarettes or alcohol and must be re-legalized. Please introduce legislation to end the federal prohibition of Cannabis Sativa today. Thank you."


11) "Please study American History - 1920 to 1933 - to learn how Prohibition does not work and makes matters worse. It wasn't that long ago, and a knowledge of history and Constitutional law is not too much to ask of our leaders. Prohibition is bad policy and does nothing to reduce drug use. Stop allowing criminals to control the drug market."

12) Honorable _________,
I implore you to look at our illegal drug policy and see that it is as destructive, ineffective and horribly more expensive than Alcohol Prohibition was.
The quickest way to reality is through Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. www.leap.cc.

13) Cannabis is safer than cigarettes or alcohol, it is an effective medicine, and it must be re-legalized. This would certainly end the sale of marijuana by children. Children were also used to help sell alcohol during Alcohol Prohibition. Please introduce a bill to tax and regulate cannabis so we may take the control of this market away from the drug dealers.

14) Sent September 8, 2008:
Please vote no on HR 1118, the Drug Trafficking Elimination Act of 2007, should it come to you for a vote. This bill will not slow drug trafficking; it will only make illegal drugs even more valuable and will increase the violence which is associated with the Black Market. The Mexican crack-down on drug cartels only resulted in the recent increase of horrific violence, as I am sure you are aware.
Please do everything within your power to de-fund the drug war and focus on preventing drug use instead of destroying the lives of people who use substances which are safer than alcohol. From what I have seen, the drug war only creates more problems. I understand that there are those who love the thrill of waging this war on our own people. Please address the adrenaline addiction problem within our law enforcement personnel, thank you. Every time they get a fix, we get hurt. May I suggest more serious training on what "public safety" honestly means? How do we keep bullies from becoming policemen? Can we please train and pay them more? You'll find the funds for their improvements by de-funding a severely dysfunctional war.

15) Sent Jan. 20, 2009: I urge you to introduce a modernized drug policy agenda which would take vast amounts of power and funding away from the thriving drug cartels and street dealers by treating drug use as a public health issue instead of a criminal justice issue. Begin by examining the integrity of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Thank you.

16) Sent Feb. 3rd, 2009, to my state senator, Abbie Cornett:
"I am writing to you today to ask if you would kindly go over our current drug policy, especially the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Please see that it is not based on science and that the enforcement of our current drug laws does much greater damage than the drugs themselves. Addiction of any kind must be a medical issue, not a judicial issue.

After going over the costs and effects of our drug policies for almost a decade, I have learned that honest education, strong families (prevention) and treatment are by far more beneficial to society than arrest, fines and incarceration. Prohibition does nothing to decrease availability of drugs to our youth and makes that supply of drugs more harmful while enriching only the unethical. If drug prohibition were to end, drug dealers and murderous cartels would be without their vast and lucrative empire as fast as the drug dealers and cartels of the 1920's were (They were called bootleggers back then, but they were drug dealers just the same).

I will be sending you more material in the future but for now, I think you would be very interested in the organization called Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://leap.cc). Over 10,000 strong, LEAP knows that drug prohibition must end just as alcohol prohibition needed to end. You will find out that even the places with the strictest drug laws are never even close to being drug free, and the places with the most humane laws have much less crime to worry about. We know the drug war is not winnable but fund-able, and we want more honesty about what our laws actually cost us and accomplish.

Please bravely vote against drug prohibition whenever you have the opportunity, because by doing so, you recognize the need to take the thriving drug market away from violent criminals. I understand it's a frightening thought, but I am convinced we will see less violence and crime because I can assure you: Anyone who wants drugs can get drugs, and people would much rather buy from a store than from a dealer.

Drug cartels love drug prohibition, and I no longer want our police playing this cat and mouse game at our expense. Thank you very much for your attention to this grave matter. It will not be an easy problem to tackle, but I am sure that honesty will be a better course for us."

Here is what I sent to my Kansas Representative after he sent me a reply:
March, 2006:
"I have received your letter letting me know how you are strongly opposed to the legalization of drugs. Thank you for the response and the offer to answer any other concerns I might have. Here are my questions and concerns regarding America's drug policies.
You stated that, "Drug legalization will only increase crime rates." If the concern is that more people will be on drugs and this increase in use will fuel crime, let me inform you that all illegal drugs are currently available everywhere, even after spending more than billions of dollars a year for 30 years. I do not mean to insult the government's work, I only wish to inform you of what is really happening on America's streets.
If you would kindly study crime activity during and after Alcohol Prohibition, you will see that crime dropped after Prohibition ended, because Prohibition fueled crime and corruption.
Finally, you mention how "Research has shown little evidence that marijuana use is safe and effective for medical purposes." If our government would allow honest research on cannabis, it would show how safe and beneficial cannabis really is, but since cannabis is listed as a Schedule I narcotic, research is very hard to perform due to walls of Red Tape. However, other countries are doing large amounts of research, and medicines like Sativex are now available to "less free" nations. Furthermore, I have safely used cannabis for 10 years, and I found it to be quite effective at keeping me balanced from horrible mood swings so that I could be a more productive citizen.
The very fact that you want to increase the "stigma and consequences that society attaches to drug use" shows that you are not interested in freedom or families, but control. People should be held accountable for their actions, not the possibility of their doing harm - everyone is capable of doing harm to others at any time. We cannot punish people until they have actually harmed others, and that's the way it must be in a free country.
Please do continue to monitor our drug policies. I want to live in the land of the free, with good laws and good, well-paid police everywhere, thank you."
__________________________________________________


And here is a letter I sent to Kansas Senator Brownback in response to his reply:

"I just received your very thoughtful letter and I must address your claim that legalizing cannabis will send a mixed message to our children. I care very deeply about the mental and physical health of children, so I will answer your claim with five of my own:

1) Yes, we certainly got ourselves into a mess by making cannabis/hemp illegal in the first place. As you know, cannabis was nationally prohibited in 1937 mainly to control minorities during The Great Depression. Most people today are aware of the realities of cannabis, and we have the opportunity to admit the mistakes of our grandparents, tell the truth, and repair the damage. Doing the right thing is hard, but it is still very important: That is a wonderful message to send to our youth.

2) It is the parents' job to send messages to children, not the government's. I expect honest information from our leaders, and we are just not getting that. Children should be warned honestly about all dangers, beginning with the ones that actually do the most damage, like car wrecks or accidental poisonings from household products/medicines.
Lying to children will produce disrespectful liars.

3) The message we are sending now is that it's OK to ruin people's lives if they do things we don't like, even if no one has been hurt. This is unacceptable.

4) If we truly care about children, let's:
a) Stop using law enforcement to crash down doors, point guns at children after shooting their pets dead (Or their mother, as was the case of Tarika Wilson in Lima, OH), and terrify entire families in the search for leaves and flowers. It is needlessly tragic and beyond ridiculous.
b) Stop the legal kidnapping of American children which occurs during the near-million cannabis-related arrests each year. I am vehemently opposed to the taking of parents from innocent children. If the family must be dealt with, keep them as whole as possible.
c) Stop assuring millions of children will have parents who will have problems supporting their family with legitimate employment due to criminal records and legal costs, who are also angry about the injustice they endured and are powerless to stop. Prohibition is not pro-family.

5) Our laws against cannabis see to it that children are used in the Black Market.

Lastly, any action government takes against cannabis is unconstitutional, no matter what the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 or the Supreme Court says, because there has never been an amendment in our Constitution banning any currently illegal drug as was required when alcohol was banned during the roaring 20's.

Cannabis has helped me be the kind of mother I want to be. I enjoy my child more, without neglecting other duties. He loves it when I play with him on the floor or playfully chase him around the house - things I just don't want to do sans cannabis. It is frightening to read, I know, but I tell you the truth: Cannabis IS a mood-altering drug, and it almost always puts me in a more positive, productive mood.

As for your comment that we must keep cannabis illegal until it is proven that it has medical value, I don't need a doctor to tell me that it works, and after ten years of use, I enjoy a clean bill of health. Where are the doctors' reports of actual damage to any person from the use of cannabis? Please direct me to that information, thank you.

For now, please know that cannabis is safer than virtually any other substance we use, even sugar and aspirin, and especially alcohol.

The wrongfully imprisoned are suffering right now from our unjust laws. Please work to fix these laws.

Respectfully,
Mrs. Melanie Marshall"

I never received a response.
__________________________________________________

Here is a letter I sent in a response which stated, "I oppose the legalization of this dangerous drug (Cannabis)"

"Dear Senator Nelson,

Thank you for your response regarding my letter about ending cannabis prohibition.

You must realize that Cannabis Sativa is not a dangerous drug. It is a plant, and it is non-toxic. Please research marijuana and you will see that there is not one case of anyone suffering damage to their body due to the biological effects of cannabis. You will also find testimonies of hundreds of brave people who have spoken up about how cannabis has improved their lives, despite the risk of arrest for their admitted use of an illegal substance. I have used cannabis regularly for the past 11 years, and I am happy to report that my last check up, which was performed by a Family Practice Physician right here in Bellevue, showed that I am 100% healthy, both physically and mentally. If cannabis were truly as dangerous as you think it is, I would have experienced grave troubles by now. Also, I meet my daily responsibilities to my family, and our home is in outstanding order.

Additionally, if marijuana were dangerous, as you say, why would you want criminals to retain control of it? Because cannabis is not regulated, young adults have every incentive to sell this artificially high-priced product. If cannabis came under government regulation and taxation, children would have less access to marijuana than they do today. Drug dealers do not ask for I.D., and cannabis prohibition is keeping drug dealers in business.

I demand that you fully understand a law and how it was passed before subjecting it on your constituents. I have independently studied cannabis and our drug laws for about 10 years now, and I would be very happy to provide you with more information. You must be aware of how harmless people are being horribly damaged due to bad laws.
__________________________________________________

To Drug Czar John Walters (ONDCP):

"Dear Mr. John Walters and staff,
I write to ask that you please stop lying about marijuana/cannabis. It has become established knowledge that 80% of our people know that cannabis should be available to those whose doctors decide it will help. No amount of words will change the fact that cannabis is simply a plant, and its flowers can be used as a safe, effective medicine. To violently smash into people's homes and terrorize families over a useful, natural plant should be unthinkable in a such a free and scientifically advanced country.

I Love America, and these embarrassing lies being told by the government remind me of how we used to portray the Soviet Union in the 1980's. Please. Everyone knows, and I do not want any of you to look foolish any longer. It's time to say you were wrong, and that all illegal drugs must be taken out of criminal control and brought under the control of government regulation. See Law Enforcement Against Prohibition for more on this. http://leap.cc

I still believe in government when applied correctly, and it is plain to see that not only are we repeating shameful acts in recent history, we are using the criminal justice system on medical problems. Please stop and gain respect. These laws are honestly hurting much more than they are helping, and everyone is beginning to see right through them. Do you intend to use up all the resources you can for as long as you can? I sincerely hope not, and we will be watching to see how our taxes are being used."

A RESPONSE FROM ONDCP:

An anonymous "Specialist" sent back a form letter saying how studies haven't shown cannabis to be medicine, so I sent back this:

"Thank you for your reply, anonymous specialist. Please get to work on finding out that cannabis is medicine, for the U.S. is shamefully behind on its studies. Not doing the homework is no excuse for ignorance that causes so much damage."

As of Feb 8, 2007, there has been no further response, and the email apparently went through. Now, writing this letter gave me an adrenaline rush, and I almost quit several times in fear, but when I did it, it felt GREAT! We simply have to keep politely showing them that we know the truth without a doubt. Please write in today! If not to the ONDCP, then to congress, Please. Do your duty regularly! Thanks.
__________________________________________________

To the Food and Drug Administration, Nov. 14, 2008:

"Please remove Cannabis sativa from Schedule I of the Schedules of Controlled Substances. This revision is necessary because cannabis/hemp does not meet the requirements to remain in Schedule I as it has clearly shown safe medical value.

Recently, about 64% of the voting public demonstrated knowledge of this truth, along with many health professionals. Please update your files accordingly."

PHONE:

A good way to keep track of who you called when is to make a chart. On a regular sheet of paper, I wrote the contacts' names and their phone numbers, local and DC offices, on the left side. Next to each contact I made grid squares that gave me little boxes big enough to write in a date like 3/14. I leave the bottom half of the paper blank to record what I said on each date. I write the date in the box RIGHT BEFORE I dial so I know that if the date is written there, the call has been made. This really helps keep track of where you left off when you try to make 7 or more calls at a time and keep getting interrupted - there's no guessing where you left off and this is important because you do NOT want to accidentaly call someone twice - embarrassing! When in doubt, move to a whole 'nother number - there are thousands, at least.
Then I record the date and what I said on that call on the bottom half of the page.

Don't worry about sending too many letters or calling too much (Well, maybe calling more than once a day would be too much...) - the more they hear from us the BETTER! Feel free to send me any responses you get from anyone: mmelz5@yahoo.com Thank you for anything you do!


Here are things I've said:

1) "I support the re-legalization of cannabis for adults, at least so that people are no longer being jailed for it because that's wrongful imprisonment."

2) "I believe cannabis ought to be legal because it is a safe and beneficial medicine."

3) "Hello, my name is ____ from _____ . I'm calling to ask ____ to put illegal drug dealers out of business by ending drug Prohibition. I believe that the government should regulate all drugs instead of allowing criminal gangs to benefit from the Black Market. Thank you." (Note: I know the government is not the best regulator, but it's better than what we have now.)

4) "I have been looking into the war on drugs and I think it is way too much like Alcohol Prohibition was. I'd like Representative/Senator_____ to look into this, please. At the very least, I want him/her to know that I am against using public money to jail people for using cannabis, because I believe it is safer than cigarettes or alcohol. Thank you."

5) "I would like to see the money that is being used on the drug war to be used for something else, like increased teacher and police pay, or given back to the tax-payers through tax cuts."

6) "I oppose cannabis prohibition and I would really like a public debate on the matter."

7) "Hello, I've been researching our cannabis laws lately, and I just wanted to let _______ know that I believe marijuana is safer than cigarettes or alcohol and must be re-legalized for adults. Thanks."

8) "Hello, how are you? This is _______ from ________, and I am calling to remind Representative/Senator_______ that we are spending nearly 70 billion dollars a year on Drug Prohibition (also known as the war on drugs), we're locking up over a million of our own citizens from their families (and from paying taxes), and drugs are literally everywhere, 24/7, even to our children because drug dealers don't ask for I.D. Please ask R/S_____ to look into this and let's find a policy that does the least harm, starting with ending cannabis prohibition, thank you.

**************************************************
**************************************************

OTHER LETTERS (Still under constuction - Please send your suggestions on who to write, thanks! mmelz5@yahoo.com):

The idea here is to send an "I'm watching you" letter to any group that benefits from our unjust drug laws, like the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Drug Enforcement Agency, Prison Industry, Drug Testing Companies, all those guys.

To the Church:

Marijuana prohibition must end because these laws only support the prison industry and modern slave labor. Jesus would never approve of caging innocent people from their families.

Here is a wonderful Prayer Request you can send to any and all churches you can reach. It was written by a visitor to the site (Thanks for sharing!):

"Dear Pastor,

May God bless and keep you for the work you do in Jesus' name. I have a special prayer request.

Please pray for the hundreds, possibly thousands of children who have been taken from their parents and placed into the uncaring foster care system.

These parents have had their homes, property and children taken away not because they're drunkards, abusers, drug addicts or bad parents, but simply because they've been arrested for possessing or growing small quantities of marijuana.

For decades otherwise law abiding citizens have been abused and mistreated by a government that views them as criminals when, for the most part, they are hard working, moral parents that want nothing more than a good life for their families.

There are millions of parents and grand parents who use this plant responsibly. They pay taxes, attend churches and live next door in communities throughout America. They don't use hemp nor act irresponsibly in front of their children or in public.

Please pray for these children who miss their loving parents. Please pray for these parents whose civil rights have been taken away. Please pray for our government that allows this corruption, injustice and immorality to continue.

I humbly ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord. Thanks for considering my prayer request.

May God bless you for seeking His truth, forgiveness and guidance.

Sincerely,
___________"

Here is a letter I sent out to churches close to me:

"Dear Fellow Brother or Sister in Christ,

I beg you to hear my plea to help an oppressed group of people here in our very own country.
The Church must take a stand against the War on Drugs. Following the guidance of our Lord after much prayer, He has revealed to me during seven years of unbiased research what the War on Drugs is all about and I am saddened to say that it is a horrendous abuse of power and money; it exists only on lies, prejudice and fear; and it profits from wrongful imprisonment and all the costs that go along with being arrested. This is the report of my findings, but please research all my claims.

After 30 years and trillions of dollars, drugs are literally everywhere. It’s so wrong, it’s evil, and I am doing what I can to tell the Christian community that we should not be supporting the torture we are putting our “undesirables” through. Why do we tolerate this treatment of “druggies,” especially after what we’ve JUST learned about alcohol prohibition? It's Because:
1) “The War On Drugs” sounds so noble (The prohibition of alcohol was also called “The Noble Experiment”),
2) These drugs are not familiar to us like alcohol is, and it is easy to make us afraid of them,
3)We have been trained to hate drug users and dealers, and,
4) If we didn’t tolerate it, many government programs would lose their funding and many employees would lose their jobs.

I have taken a look into our shamefully barbaric prison system. Once the beacon of freedom, America imprisons more of its own citizens than any other county on Earth. The guards treat visitors like dirt and love to mentally abuse prisoners right in plain view. Filing a complaint will only get you a laugh and maybe revenge. Then there’s the mental, verbal and physical abuse of the countless prisoners once they are behind closed doors with no accountability - it is legal brutality that we are paying for, so please help them and their families. This inhumane treatment makes “bad” people worse, and I do not think it is the way Jesus would have us go.

From what I’ve learned through interviews with all the drug addicts I could ask, most people drink and/or do drugs because they were not loved growing up. People abuse many things to kill a pain/fill a void, and that’s where we Christians need help, not harm. Our current drug policies are truly doing more harm than good. I suggest we keep concentrating on quality family life so we can reduce the demand for drugs, alcohol, and violence in the future. Please treat drug addicts at least as well as we treat our alcoholics, because unfortunately, like alcohol, drugs aren’t going anywhere.

If drugs weren’t made by criminals, they would be safer than alcohol and less addictive than cigarettes, and the drug lords would go out of business overnight. As scary as it sounds, drugs must be made and sold like alcohol is today, without the irresponsible advertising. Children can get illegal drugs easier than beer or cigarettes because drug dealers don’t ask for I.D., and all these drugs are of very questionable origins, which makes them inevitably more dangerous. Exploding toxic meth houses didn’t exist until amphetamines were taken off the market. Help us to our senses, in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, let’s declare peace. So many people are suffering, it is so horrible.

Please look into the matter yourselves, and let’s address the subject of addictive behavior of any kind as Jesus would have us do. I am available to meet with anyone wishing to talk/pray. Thank you for your time and work, and may God bless your Church! Glory be to God, peace be with you."

__________________________________________________


To the Prison Guards/staffers (This is a work-in-progress):

The urge to overpower defenseless people can be VERY strong, and I am praying that you find the strength to resist it. Remember, Jesus loves the prisoner as much as He loves you. Please understand that imprisonment is the harshest penalty a government can impose on its people, short of dismemberment and death.
Knowing that there are many prisoners without victims under your care, I ask you to please try to keep an attitude that will help you resist abusing your position.
It is not your job to punish the prisoners.

More to come...
