Hey,
Right now, we have an opportunity to end harsh penalties for drug possession in California. Your senator is about to vote on a bill that would lower the penalty for possession of drugs for personal use from a felony to a misdemeanor and needs to hear from you today.
Without this bill, nonviolent offenders will continue to be punished every year for felony possession of small amounts of drugs. California has the largest incarcerated population in the U.S., and the U.S. has the largest in the world -- and this groundbreaking bill could go a long way toward reversing those trends.
This vote is going to be close. But with law enforcement lobbyists doing everything they can to block this legislation, it's crucial that your senator hears from you.
I just took a stand to end this over-punishment, and I hope you'll join me. I just sent a letter to my senator, and I'm trying to get as many people to do the same.
Take action today! click (http://dpa.convio.net/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&page=UserAction&id=837)
