600 Christian churches call for an end to the War on Drugs

Bout time, gawd.
The New England Conference of United Methodist Churches voted in favor of a resolution on Saturday to call for an end to the Drug War using Christian principles, according to a release from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP).
The resolution states:
In the love of Christ, who came to save those who are lost and vulnerable, we urge the creation of a genuinely new system for the care and restoration of victims, offenders, criminal justice officials, and the community as a whole. Restorative justice grows out of biblical authority, which emphasizes a right relationship with God, self and community. When such relationships are violated or broken through crime, opportunities are created to make things right.” They then go on to mention an extensive list of concerns and reasons to end prohibition, such as public health, violent trafficking, and countless innocent lives lost or thrown into overcrowded prisons.
LEAP worked alongside the group to help pass the resolution, which represents the will of 600 churches throughout six states.
“Jesus concerned himself with the plight of the poor and marginalized in his society. In our society, the story of the poor and marginalized is one of mass incarceration, racial injustice, and the breakdown of families caused by the War on Drugs,” said Major Neill Franklin (Ret.), executive director of LEAP.
The group’s resolution can be read here.

7 black churches were burnt down recently in racial unrest. You would think, in a christian nation like the US, they'd be covered in aid from fellow churches.
Guess who raised the m,oney to rebuild the churches?
A MUSLIM organisation as part of Ramadan charity.
Christian churches 
Ah well, yay for the Muslims!

Cool OP. It's times like this when I remember that religion can do some good. Maybe they'll get some attention.

This IS the news 
I captured free range homeless then grass-fed them for a year before I harvested them for DMT. Its not gay to spritz a man up your ass after you separated him from his DMT.
Soylentgreen DMT is people?!
