A RUN FOR PRESIDENT?

I urge Gov. Gary Johnson to consider seeking the office of the presidency
for 2004 and to form an exploratory committee.

It was so refreshing to hear an elected official speak about the "absolute
failure of the drug war." For too many years, this war has cost Americans
dearly - both financially and morally.

Our very national anthem says We reside in the land of the free. How free
are we when our government condemns us as criminals for our own personal
choices?

Johnson already has my write-in vote next November. ---
