Dear Drug Reporter Reader,

I have to tell you about this golden opportunity we have --

right now -- to transform public policy about drugs.

It's 2009 and our political circumstances have changed.

With a new president in office and an economic crisis on

our hands, we have a rare opening to challenge the

premisesof the failed, destructive, and very costly drug war.

Let's educate and mobilize the largest audience possible for

drug reform now -- before the drug warriors reassert

their influence.

Thanks for all that you do,

Don Hazen
