FORFEITURE FUNDS

I believe money gotten from drug busts should be spent fighting the
war against drugs. In no other war have we expected our young men and
women to fight without the best equipment our technology can provide.

All wars should be fought to win. Change whatever law needs to be
changed. Put proper checks and balances in place to ensure correct
spending. Formulate criteria to determine innocence and prevent unjust
punishment. People used to be willing to make needed sacrifices to
help win a war.

Above all, allow our law enforcement personnel to continue the war
against drugs without worry about funding and without being accused of
breaking the law.
