Marijuana Reform Banned from Public Transport
January 22, 2004
After two days of debate and back-and-forth voting, the Senate passed a bill that will censor marijuana reform efforts. The Drug Policy Alliance had been working to defeat this provision since it was snuck into the huge federal spending bill by Oklahoma Republican Rep. Ernest Istook in December 2003.
The provision will effectively ban private advertising on buses, subways, or trains in support of marijuana law reform - including campaign ads in support of medical marijuana ballot measures. Worse still, the same bill also spends $145 million in taxpayer money on anti-marijuana government propaganda. This federal spending bill unanimously passed the U.S. House of Representatives late last year, and now that the Senate has passed the legislation we expect President Bush to sign in into law over the next couple of days.
The Alliance thanks you for your amazing support in trying to stop this bill from passing. Over 13,500 of you sent faxes to your senators. That is amazing! Together we have shown Congress that voters are outraged. This will give the Alliance leverage to work on removing the censorship provisions from the spending bills when they are voted on again at the end of the year.
We will keep you updated as our plans develop - we will definitely need your help!
