Or better yet, if you owe the IRS money for taxes (or anyone else for that matter) and they put a lien on your credit... you can't get a decent job. So what are your options to get yourself out of that credit situation and put food on the table?!?!

Karin, thank you for sharing your story, nearly brought tears to my eyes. It's so SO fucked up, all of it. I currently have a job opportunity that I am probably going to have to turn down because of my arrest and record. Pays REALLY nice and I'd be able to save money to pay my fines off in no time, but alas I will probably have to turn it down. It's total bullshit -- I am OVERQUALIFIED for this job.
It is what it is and I will do what I have to to make ends meet but...fuuuuck the war on drugs.
FUCK THE WAR ON DRUGS WE'RE BRINGING IT DOOOOWN.
Did everybody read the report of the global commission????!!!

Example A of the stupidity futility of the "Drug War" and "Drug Policy"
History Channel Cocaine History Between the Lines: This two-hour special goes inside the history of the second most used illicit drug in America. The human appetite for this narcotic goes all the way back to 3000 B.C., when South Americans chewed coca leaves, thinking they were a gift from God. But it wasn’t until 1855, when cocaine was first extracted from the coca leaf and used in powder form that its use spiked. Initially it was utilized as an anesthesia. Soon, famed psychologist Sigmund Freud touted it as an effective cure for depression and impotence. In 1886, John Pemberton, an Atlanta pharmacist, added it to his new soft drink: Coca Cola or Coke for short. In 1914, the drug was outlawed, but the damaged had been done. The 70’s ushered in another boost in the drug’s use, fueled in part by new drug cartels in South America. To combat cocaine’s rise, the Reagan administration started the War on Drugs in the 80’s

Anyway after reading this:
Quote:
Drug Policy Reform groups are a great cause to support, and if your company does a matching program I hope you will consider supporting our Kickstarter Campaign so that we'll be able to continue to build our archive of interviews (We would like to wind up with 100 to represent the 1 in 100 Americans currently incarcerated) and to continue to hold screenings of the film.
If we reach our Kickstarter goal, I personally will have the opportunity to produce an interview/segment for The Exile Nation Project, a story that is very close to my heart, and that is really the reason I got involved in Drug Policy Reform activism about a year ago. There's a link to the thread about Roderick "Rudd" Walker in the OP if you want to know more, but briefly, he is 7 years into a LIFE (without parole, i believe) sentence for "lsd conspiracy". If you don't know what "conspiracy" is, then watch the film and you will find out through Amy Povah's, and others' stories.
I went back to the OP and didn't see the link, but maybe I missed it.
But I went over to Kickstarter and threw in $50 for the project after reading that part, as you all know this is very close to my heart. I wish I could contribute more financially, but you know, for the screenings you're doing in NY, I'd be more than willing to arrange for a donation of pendants. I can send you up a display tray of 25 pendants all labeled and ready to go, and the Exile Nation Project can keep 100% of the proceeds (maybe you/they can mail me back the empty tray when you're done ). Just PM me if they can figure out the logistics at the theaters...maybe just put the tray by the concession stand or whatever...and we'll figure out how to make that happen too. I try to support in any way I can
Light and Love, DW
So I'm interested in an update on the Rudd project - how goes it?

when charles gets back and settled from burning man, i should have a better answer for you.
as of right now i am connecting rudd with nora at the november coalition (drug war prisoner advocacy group). they want to do what they can to help him get some visibility out here, and we'll go from there when we start back up with TENP.
i have to send your pendants back! we were able to use a few for the project but i really need to pop the rest in the mail for you.
