GROUPS GAIN FROM CONTINUED DRUG WAR

I wish to rebut the Dec. 29 letter titled "Legalizing Drugs Won't Fix
Problem" by the writer from Drug Prevention Ministries.

The federal government spends tens of billions of dollars every year
on its drug war. The government's war on drugs has resulted in civil
liberties violations such as suspicionless drug testing.

Tax-exempt organizations like "Drug Prevention Ministries" stand to
gain from the drug war bureaucracy by having our hard-earned tax
dollars diverted to their pockets through "faith-based initiatives."

That is the truth, and as the Bible says "know the truth, and the
truth shall set you free."
