DRUGS: IMAGINE WORLD WITHOUT WAR

President Richard Nixon declared this civil war on his own people in
1971 and nothing has done more to divide and destroy this nation. This
failed war goes unmentioned by our presidential candidates who have
promoted it to the bitter end. This long "drug war" now sponsors and
funds the international terrorism, street gangs, violence, crime and
political divisions that plague us. Illegal immigration, gangs,
violence, addiction, racism, poverty and overcrowding are symptoms.
The bigger picture is that these corporate drug warriors are seizing
and swallowing up large tracts of land (internationally) in the name
of this drug war.

Millions of people are being displaced and systematically driven from
their regions and herded into ghettos of economic and social despair.
The illegal immigrants who are flooding our borders are fleeing these
drug war zones. The lands their families once farmed are being fought
over by corporate backed governments, and drug lords. End this
unwinnable drug war and lift this dark cloud that has fallen on our
nation and neighbors. Try to imagine a life and world without this
drug war.
