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.
