DO THE CRIME, DO THE TIME

Hats off to the DEA and Southern Regional Drug and Violent Crime Task
Force. The problem with the OCs needs to be addressed. Too many times the
user is sent to rehab just to have them sign themselves out of the program
early.

Mandatory sentencing needs to be in effect. Do the crime, do the time.

I for one am tired of the "user's" stealing checks from the elderly and
writing them, then being turned loose because they "tell" on someone else.

It's time to make everyone involved with the use, trafficking, and covering
up of use held responsible.

New laws need to be put in effect to make it rough for writing bad checks.
I've spoken out about this problem before only to be told its not that bad.

I think the paper with the past raids and the amount of drugs and doctors
involved shows its a major problem.

Keep up the good work. Wish you would come in our area.
