SOROS WRONG MAN TO INFLUENCE POLITICS

On Sept. 29, the Los Angeles Times printed an article that billionaire
drug-legalization proponent George Soros, who has already given $12.6
million to organizations to defeat President Bush, now is going to
have a speaking tour of five battleground states. This is the same
George Soros who:

# Financed phony ads in California and Arizona in an attempt to
legalize drugs;

# Stated in his autobiography, "Soros on Soros," that he favors
legalizing all drugs;

# In the Financial Times stated that United States foreign policy is
"Orwellian doublespeak" and an "imperialist vision" and cannot be
reconciled with his hope for an open society;

# According to the Washington Times, believes an open society is one
in which the sovereignty of the United States must be subordinated to
international law and international institutions such as the United
Nations and its International Criminal Court, and wherein it was also
stated that in Soros' world, the ends always justify the needs;

# Believes you can basically do whatever you want, especially drugs --
without any consequences;

# Has centered his drug legalization efforts in the Drug Policy
Alliance and Drug Strategies and the ACLU;

# According to the Foundation Watch, is now concentrating on his goal
of fostering a global society -- "to make an impact on how governments
and international institutions conduct themselves."

Recently, Soros has funded efforts to repeal California's tough "three
strikes and you're out" law and a campaign to defeat the sitting
Albany, N.Y., district attorney for enforcing strict drug laws.

Is this the kind of person we want influencing elections and thereby
influencing law enforcement and drug policies? I submit from a law
enforcement perspective, he certainly is not!
