SUPPORTERS, OPPOSITION OF PROP. 1 RALLY SUPPORT

As debate over the marijuana ordinance, Proposition 1, has raged until 
voting day, both sides have brought out the big guns.

The co-authors of the proposition, MU law student Anthony Johnson and 
attorney Dan Viets, announced in a news release the support of several 
public figures. These include former Missouri Supreme Court Judge Warren 
Welliver; state Sen. Ken Jacob, D-Columbia, and Clay Anderson, Ellis 
Fischel Cancer Center director of clinical services.

Last week, ACT Missouri, an organization against the ordinance, sponsored a 
news conference and luncheon. Speakers, including doctors, activists and a 
President Bush-appointed official, spoke against what they said they see as 
a law inviting more drugs into the community.
