NO ON AB 2295

Editor -- Citizens of California, please oppose AB 2295, the ``Smoke-
a-Joint, Lose-Your-License'' bill recently passed by the Assembly Public
Safety Committee to mandate a six-month driver's license suspension upon
conviction of any drug offense. Instead support legislation to officially
``opt-out'' of this provision.

AB 2295 is an irrational extra punishment imposed upon people who have
already suffered whatever penalty a judge saw fit to impose on them. This
law would clog California's courts by causing huge numbers of very low-level
drug offenders to take their cases to full trial.

Write to Sen. Tim Leslie or Assemblyman Rico Oilier and Gov. Davis, all at
State Capitol, Sacramento, CA 95814-4905.
