DAVIS PUSHING "SMOKE A JOINT, LOSE YOUR LICENSE" BILL Dear friends: In an unexpected and disturbing development for good- thinking Californians, the State Assembly Public Safety Committee, under pressure from Gov. Gray Davis, has approved AB 2295, a bill to mandate an automatic six month driver's license suspension for any drug offense. Federal law requires California to pass such a law or pass a law specifically opting out of it, or lose $100 million in federal highway funds. Gov. Davis has made known that he intends to veto any opt-out bill, to force legislators to impose "Smoke a Joint, Lose Your License" in order to keep the highway funds. AB 2595 is opposed by California NORML, the American Civil Liberties Union, the California AFL-CIO, the Teamsters, the California School Employees Association, the Service Employees International Union and other labor groups. 32 states, including every state west of Texas, have passed "opt-out" legislation, and a California poll by David Binder found that voters oppose "Smoke a Joint, Lose Your License" by 2-1. Please call or fax Gov. Davis to express your opposition to his support for Smoke a Joint, Lose Your License, and please visit http://www.drcnet.org/states/california/ to tell your legislators to "just say no" to this expensive, thoughtless law. Call the governor at (916) 445-2841, (213) 897-0322 or (415) 703-2218, or fax (916)445-4633 or (213)897-0319. And please use the "tell a friend" form at http://www.drcnet.org/states/California/ to spread the word at this crucial time for California's drug policy. This site is sponsored by the Drug Reform Coordination Network, an online organization of nearly 15,000 drug reform supporters worldwide, nearly 2,000 in California.
