**RAVE ACT UPDATE**
    #768319 - 07/22/02 04:22 PM (21 years, 8 months ago)

We want to thank all of our supporters for their help in our on-going
campaign against the RAVE Act (S.2633). While the Drug Policy Alliance
has taken the lead in fighting this draconian legislation, we would be
nowhere without the support of people like yourself. We truly
appreciate everyone who has called or faxed their Senators and
forwarded our alerts to their friends and family. You are absolutely
essential to reforming our nation's drug policies.

While proponents of the RAVE Act thought they could quickly and
quietly pass it through the Senate, they were wrong. The Chief of
Staff for Senator Biden (sponsor of the RAVE Act) recently told the
Washington Post that, "we thought this would be an innocuous bill that
everybody would rally in support of." Instead, this bill is now in the
midst of controversy. They greatly underestimated the strength of the
Drug Policy Alliance and our allies:

** The Drug Policy Alliance, in conjunction with Dance Safe, has
launched a fax campaign that has sent almost 25,000 faxes to the
Senate in opposition to the RAVE Act. Additionally, BuzzLife
Productions, which coordinates dance events in the DC area, gathered
10,000 on-line signatures in opposition to the bill in only five days
and has personally delivered them to the Senate. Thousands of voters
have called their Senators in opposition to this bill. Key Senators
are feeling the heat.

** The controversial RAVE Act and the campaign against it have garnered
national attention, with news articles across the country, including
the Oakland Tribune and the Washington Post:
http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v02/n1347/a09.html?111. Alliance
employees have warned voters about the RAVE Act and spurned them to
action on radio stations from California to New York.

** The Drug Policy Alliance is working with other organizations to stop
or modify this bill, including the ACLU and business groups. We are in
the process of working with co-sponsors of the bill to find ways to
limit its application and reduce the harm it will cause. In particular,
we are working to ensure that it doesn't legislate raves and hemp
festivals out of existence. Ultimately, the Alliance wants to defeat
the RAVE Act - but if it's unstoppable, we want to amend it to protect
civil liberties, free speech, and the right to dance.

The Drug Policy Alliance has an official policy of not asking our supporters
to do something unless it's absolutely urgent and will make a difference.
So, we're not going to ask you to fax or call your Senators today. We're
waiting for the moment most likely to influence Congress to ask you. That
time may come sometime during the next two weeks.

In the mean time, we encourage you to become a member of the Drug Policy
Alliance, if you are not already. This helps the Alliance in two ways. First,
it helps pay for the cost of our public education efforts, including our
action alerts and fax campaigns. Without contributions from people like
yourself that believe in freedom and justice, the Asa Hutchinsons and John
Ashcrofts of the world will get their entire drug war agenda through
Congress. Secondly, becoming a member of the Alliance improves our ability
to educate Congress on the need for reform. There's an iron law in
Washington -- the more members you have, the more politicians listen. If we
are going to stop the war on marijuana users, eliminate the racial
injustices of the drug war, and protect the Bill of Rights, we need people
like yourself to join the Alliance.

Please consider joining the Drug Policy Alliance, the nation's largest
organization working to end the war on drugs and all its harmful effects.
You can become a member for an investment of as little as $35. Find
