WHY NOT AMNESTY?

Would it not be wonderful if our governor, who bravely inserted the feeding
tube in the Schiavo case, would use his power and influence with his "hip
pocket" Legislature and create a level playing field for all Florida citizens?

Since his daughter, Noelle, and the Republican mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh
have escaped punishment under our drug laws, why not grant amnesty for all
the inmates in our jails and prisons who are there for violating those same
laws?

At a cost of over $50 per person, per day, think of the tax savings by
releasing one-third of our prison population.

A much better deal than the lottery for the schools. A good deal for rehab.
