For more information, and to sign a petition to our state legislators, I suggest:

As for the disproportionate incarceration rate of African-Americans, it is not just a Charleston problem. It is nation wide. So the idea that Charleston's excuse is its socieconomic status as a Black working class city is irrelevant.

As for the prior offenses, those too are predominantly for drug offenses and are just as race-biased as the second and third offenses. Also, the disparity is in arrests as well as jail time, so the number of prior offenses is not a factor. Race-bias is a factor at every stage of the process.

I agree with the good senator. Bipartisanship sometimes means that you can have a common approach to address two different issues. In this case, I know dependence on cheap oil puts us at the mercy of a lot of not-nice people, who use our money to fund folks who want to kill us, and means our men and women die to preserve our access to that energy source. We're vulnerable to disruption in supply, at which point we'll *wish* we did the work to find an alternative.

Cap and trade, by the way, is a market solution implemented under Reagan and Bush 1.

What a crock. Bipartisanship to you is only when the GOP goes along with the donkeys? Give me two examples when the Democrats did anything bipartisan!!

Didn't your savior say during his campaign that there would be transparency and bipartisanship? However not one option put forth by a Republican was allowed in Pelosi's bill. And it was all done behind (solid wooden) closed doors that prohibited Republicans participation.

Speaking of hatred. It didn't matter what President Bush did, he was attacked by Democrats continually on EVERYTHING. It was so bad, it became known as BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome).

So where is your Bipartisanship?

Thank you for contacting me regarding the decriminalization of marijuana. As your Congressman, I appreciate hearing your thoughts and welcome every opportunity to be of service.



I understand your viewpoint that we should decriminalize marijuana. However, I believe that marijuana is a gateway drug -- one of the most commonly abused illicit drugs in our country. Marijuana use can result in significant health problems, and I do not agree with the viewpoint that marijuana users are not part of the problem. I also do not agree with the statement that our law enforcement should be targeting more serious crimes. Drug use, I believe, is a serious issue that we must address to prevent our future generations from ending up in jail on drug-related offenses. People that use this drug are breaking the law and they should be held accountable.



Despite your opinion that marijuana should be legal, the court systems in our nation have continued to view marijuana as an illegal substance. I believe that decriminalizing marijuana has been taken up by individual states, and some of our states have legalized the drug for medicinal reasons. I contend that legalizing marijuana would be harmful to our society, and that doing so would put more people at risk. Currently there is not any federal legislation that directly addresses the issue of decriminalizing marijuana, but should such legislation be introduced, please know that I will keep your thoughts in mind should it come up for a vote on the House floor.



Again, I want to thank you for contacting me. To get regular updates from my office sent to you by e-mail, please visit http://brown.house.gov/updates. I am honored to serve you in Congress and I look forward to hearing from you on other matters of interest or concern.






Sincerely,

Henry E. Brown, Jr.
Member of Congress
