Dear Stuart,
Imagine there's no Drug Czar. It isn't hard to do ...
For more than 20 years, the federal government has spent lavishly on its own Ministry of Drug Propaganda with virtually nothing to show for it. Our illustrious Drug Czars have crisscrossed the country spreading lies and misinformation while pouring more than a billion taxpayer dollars into an Anti-Drug Media Campaign sinkhole.
But U.S. Reps. Jared Polis (D-CO) and Ron Paul (R-TX) have a great idea: Defund the Drug Czar's office entirely! And they are introducing an amendment to do just that in the next few days.
The Marijuana Policy Project, which for years has taken on the Drug Czar's office directly through formal complaints at the state and federal levels and through lobbying to decrease funding for the Media Campaign, fully supports this amendment and hopes you do too. 
If you want to see the Drug Czar and his gross exaggerations about marijuana tossed out of the executive branch for good, please take a moment to urge your U.S. representative to support the Polis-Paul amendment to the Financial Services Appropriations bill. We have pre-written e-mails all set to go.
Thanks in advance for taking action.
Sincerely,

Steve Fox
Director of Government Relations
Marijuana Policy Project
Washington, D.C.
