Dems about to deliver another F-U to the people.

An email from the Drug Policy Alliance:


Dear MP,

First, the good news. Congress killed an amendment by Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) that would have denied federal funding to cities that establish Supervised Injection Facilities to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and reduce drug overdose fatalities. This is a major victory for the right of cities to reform their drug policies without federal interference. We recently asked supporters in certain Congressional districts to take action. Your phone calls and e-mails woke up Congress and made the difference between victory and defeat!

Now, the bad news. Congressional Democrats are backing away from their promise to repeal the HEA Drug Provision that denies student loans to people convicted of drug law offenses. Senate Democrats sold out reform earlier this year. Now it looks like House Democrats might too.

Don't let them get away with it! Call Congress today and urge your Representative (Democrat or Republican) to repeal this stupid law which has already denied student loans to more than 200,000 people. We believe Congress will do the right thing if they hear from thousands of Americans like you.

Click to make the call and tell us how it went.

Thank you,

Bill Piper
Director of National Affairs

Then we would have a problem.

Not turning into a Naderite, but the incumbency protection racket now ruling Capitol Hill makes me sympathize with the frustrations behind that movement in the first place.

That's the kind of crap I've come to expect from the rethugs, but from the dems? I'm learning, I guess.

that's more than what the congress trolls do.

they are Corpro-crats! They are not my party. They are a different party.

so the triangulating corporate-whore duopolist-democrats figure this isn't going to cost them many votes on that side plus they can continue to 'hang 'em high' in the endless stupid corrupt war on some drugs not sold by big pharma. Fuck them. They are turd slime. I apologize to all hard working honest whores for associating them with this bunch.

Boy, were they shocked when some of us didn't vote for them like good little ******s back in 2K.

things are gonna change! :sarcasm:

Becuse you wouldn't have to be rich or in debt to get a college degree.
