FWIW, I sent an LTE after I read this and didn't get an autoresponse either.

I placed this on the MAP website (with a little flub)also.
============
Tomorrow, December 20, I am scheduled to appear on "The O'Reilly
Factor" on the national FOX News Channel at approximately 8:20 p.m.
Eastern time. (The program starts at 8:00 p.m. and is repeated at
11:00 p.m. Eastern; please check your local cable listings for channel
and non-Eastern airtimes.)
I will be discussing the Marijuana Policy Project's "war on drug
czar," which we launched on December 4 at a news conference at the
National Press Club in Washington, D.C. For details, please see
http://www.mpp.org/WarOnDrugCzar.html .
In addition, tomorrow night I will announce new criminal charges that
MPP will be seeking against the drug czar, in addition to those we
already unveiled on December 4 -- one was filed with the federal
Office of Special Counsel, the other with the Nevada Secretary of
State's office.
In the former complaint, we detailed how Drug Czar John Walters
illegally used his title and office to campaign against our marijuana
ballot initiative in Nevada. This complaint requests that Walters be
removed from office, as well as disbarred from holding any federal
office ever again.
In the latter complaint, we noted that the drug czar failed to file
any campaign finance reports whatsoever detailing the money that he
spent opposing our ballot measure. As a result, we are asking the
Nevada Secretary of State to fine him the maximum $5,000.
Tomorrow night I will announce our third complaint.
In January, we will be announcing the fourth prong of our attack
against the drug czar. And a fifth attack -- and possibly a sixth --
will be announced after January.
Drug Czar John Walters has been irresponsibly and illegally using his
office to campaign against marijuana and other drug policy reform
ballot initiatives, and we plan to take him down for it so that he --
or his successor if we succeed in removing him from office -- will be
prevented from campaigning against any marijuana policy measures we
launch in 2004.
Sincerely,
Rob Kampia
Executive Director
Marijuana Policy Project
Washington, D.C.

Subj: 004 Cannabis in the News
From: Richard Lake <>
Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2002 02:14:37 -0500
Below are some of the news items about cannabis from the press which are
among the most frequently read by folks accessing the MAP news archives out
of about 300 posted in the last week. They are in no special order, but
because of the much larger number of popular items from Canada as a result
of the news there, I have broken it into two groups, outside Canada first,
and then Canada.
Folks have written asking why some are more popular than others. While I am
just taking a guess, some are I think because of a headline that catches
the eye, but some because they make good targets for our many Letter to the
Editor writers.
The most popular are read by tens of thousands of folks. Readers come from
over a hundred countries, but the majority are from the United States, with
a significant share from Canada.
Please don't think I will make a list like this every week. It is something
I do for fun once and a while, on those rare days that I am slightly caught
up on my other projects - or just feel the need to do something different.

Not all that is important makes the news, of course. This note I just
received is a example:
>SAN DIEGO, Dec 19th. The DEA held a press conference today where it
>threatened to arrest anyone who grows medical marijuana, regardless of
>Prop. 215. "Marijuana does not have medicinal properties," said DEA
>special agent Michael Vigil, "There are other drugs that can be
>provided." The DEA added that federal law always supersedes local law.
> The San Diego DEA has been working with local anti-drug groups to
> block the city council from adopting medical marijuana guidelines
> proposed by the city's task force. Local activists say that San Diego
> police have also been working with DEA to try to bust medical marijuana
> growers.
