Terrorism at Home

At a time when our nation is concerned about the war on terrorism, the DEA is waging an all-out war on medical marijuana patients. The Bush administration warned that there was a high likelihood of a terrorist attack on February 18. They were right: That day, DEA thugs raided a medical marijuana clinic in San Francisco, charging four activists in the Bay Area with the "crime" of providing medical marijuana to patients who are legally authorized to use it under state law. Each of the four defendants now faces between five years and life in prison. Significantly, the clinic was authorized by the local prosecutor's office, who expressed his outrage that the DEA is trampling the will of California voters in its sick crusade against sick people.

Save the ABM Treaty

The Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty, ratified in 1972, between the US and the USSR, puts a cap on the nuclear arms race and has helped to prevent nuclear war for 30 years. We cannot afford to lose it. President Bush will withdraw by June 13th in order to make way for missile defense and Star Wars unless the Senate exercises its constitutional duty to oversee treaties and votes on the matter. They are neglecting this responsibility. Please help the Nuclear Peace Action Group collect signatures on a petition asking the Senate to vote on this. You can sign online at http://www.PetitionOnline.com/ abmtrty/petition.html. For copies to circulate, call Zac at 964-3621, or come by the MEC.
