Dear friend:

Did you know the drug legalization movement is making *unprecedented
progress?*

    * Polls show an approaching majority
      
<http://stopthedrugwar.org/changingminds10/marijuana_legalization_support>
      supporting marijuana legalization -- California with an initiative
      this November is at 56%.
    * The horrific violence in Mexico is making opinion leaders consider
      total drug legalization
      <http://stopthedrugwar.org/changingminds10/mexico_drug_war> more
      seriously too.
    * More good drug policy reform legislation -- lowering crack
      sentences
      
<http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/624/senate_passes_bill_reduce_cocaine_crack_sentencing_disparityhttp://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/624/senate_passes_bill_reduce_cocaine_crack_sentencing_disparity>,
      allowing needle exchange funding
      
<http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/special/congressional_budget_deal_federal_needle_exchange_funding_ban_DC_medical_marijuana>,
      unblocking DC's medical marijuana law
      
<http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/613/washington_DC_medical_marijuana_no_ban>
      -- has come out of Congress the past year than in decades.

There is a long, hard road still ahead, and politicians continue to move
much more slowly on these issues than they should. Many lives are being
needlessly damaged or ruined in the meantime. But things are definitely
moving our way.
