THE WAR ON DRUGS
Memorial Day, a day for remembering those who died fighting at war.
But we have forgot about those who have died fighting in the longest
of all U.S. wars -- "The War On Drugs!"
However, our government keeps this war in full swing at any and all
cost. Government funding builds prisons instead of buildings for
education.
Why? Because it lines the pockets of politicians and keeps the private
prison (a $60 billon-plus a year) industry afloat with your tax dollars.
Please, America, wake up, and let our elected officials know we want
this "War On Drugs" to end. Save lives -- education instead of prison!
