HARSH DRUG BILL TO BE INTRODUCED

Drug Policy Alliance, Wed, Nov 19, 2003

Now, just before Congress goes out of session, one of the country's
harshest drug war extremists, Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN), is about to
introduce some of the scariest legislation we've seen this year.

Rep. Souder's bill increases penalties for many drug offenses and
takes away the right of judges to show mercy when it's appropriate.
