The "Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign" kicks off today in all 50 states. Efforts will focus on two issues: the link between drugs and terrorism, and the dangers of "club drugs." "Since 9-11, the War on Drugs has developed into a War on Narco-Terrorism. Drug trafficking has become a national security issue because it is often drug money that finances terrorist operations," said DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson. For more information on the "Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign" in Alabama, contact Rep. Barbara B. Boyd, D-Anniston at (256) 236-4603. - --- MAP posted-by: Ariel
