They take that belief a step further by systematically changing our drug laws. These groups are the same ones who were behind Proposition 215, the medical marijuana scam, and Proposition 36, the treatment and get-out-of-jail-free con. Those of us with common sense can make the connection between drug use and crime and the victimization of innocent people. These groups simply dismiss those claims, arguing that they have a constitutional right to use illegal street drugs. What about our right to live in safe communities? What about our right to live in crime-free communities? Wake up, Stanislaus County. We are under siege by these dangerous and diabolical groups who will stop at nothing to get what they want -- the full legalization of all street drugs, including marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, LSD, PCP and date-rape drugs. This insane push for drug legalization must be stopped! Linda Taylor, Turlock - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
