The politicians want YOU -- to be a snitch (or go to jail) |
What's so bad about this bill (HR 1528)? After all, it's "for the children?"
Well, we especially like how the Drug Policy Alliance explained this
dangerous proposal...
YOU'VE BEEN DRAFTED
UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU FOR THE WAR ON DRUGS
Congressman Sensenbrenner's (R-Wis.) draconian mandatory minimum sentencing
bill will have serious consequences for our democracy, requiring you to spy
on all your neighbors, including going undercover and wearing a wire if
needed. Refusing to become a spy for the government would be punishable by
a mandatory prison sentence of at least two years.
If you "witness" certain drug offenses taking place or "learn" that they
took place you would have to report the offense to law enforcement within
24 hours and provide "full assistance" in the investigation, apprehension,
and prosecution of the people involved. Failure to do so would be a crime
punishable by a mandatory two year prison sentence.
Here are some examples of offenses you would have to report to the police
within 24 hours:
You see someone you know pass a joint to a 20-year old college student.
Your cousin mentions that he bought Ecstasy for some of his college
friends.
You find out that your brother, who has kids, recently bought a small
amount of marijuana to share with his wife.
Your substance-abusing daughter recently begged her boyfriend to find her
some drugs even though they're both in drug treatment.

Act now. Send Congress a message before it's too late.
