Editor's note: The following are letters in response to U.S. Rep. Joe
Barton's commentary on Tuesday about drug testing for members of
Congress. Many of the letters we have received come from people who
subscribe to the Media Awareness Project, a nonprofit e-mail news
service that culls information from around the world pertaining to
issues of drug policy reform. For more information, visit the group's
Web site ( www.mapinc.org ).
