 This is your War... This is your War on Drugs......

 Following is a letter I sent to the President-Elect.
 It was first sent by E-Mail to the President-Elect's Office at Compuserve.

 I received a reply from the "Public Access EMail co-ordinator" the NEXT DAY!
 I have included that reply as well.

 Subj: Amnesty for Thought Crimes


 Dear President-Elect Clinton and Vice-President-Elect Gore--
 Greetings, and congratulations on the great victory in November!

 As a  citizen concerned with the steady erosion of the Bill of Rights and
 religious and other freedoms during the last three decades, I urge that your
 new administration give serious and full consideration to the granting of an
 amnesty for those currently serving sentences for the "crime" of cannibis
 possession, and to the immediate rescinding of federal penalties for possession
 and cultivation of cannibis for personal use.

 The climate of fear and terror that the heinous "War on Drugs" has produced
 must come to an end. It is with great hopes that Americans look to the new
 Administration to end the repression of cannibis and other substances used to
 produce sacred meditative and celebratory states of mind. These include the
 Peyote cactus, the Psilocybin mushroom, the moleculuar Lysergic Acids, and the
 Dimethyltryptamines, among others.

 Too many gentle, harmless people have been subjected to exceedingly harsh
 criminal penalties for the thought crimes of desiring to control their own
 consciousnesses, while the truly dangerous and deadly drugs of alcohol and
 tobacco, and the over-the-counter pill-pushers, make a mockery of the nation's
 health.

 I highly recommend the following books as important statements on these issues,
 supported in great measure by a substantial portion of the American People.

 Food of the Gods/ Terence McKenna
  (Bantam 1992) ISBN 0-553-07868-2

 The Emperor Wears No Clothes / Jack Herer
  (HEMP Publishing, 1991) ISBN 1-878125-001

 I look forward to receiving some indication of the direction that your
 administration will proceed on this issue.

 With Many Thanks,

 Peter Fraterdeus

 I also understand that the Congress has appropriated money to have EVERY HOUSE
 and SENATE office receive an Internet address. We should contact our local
 Congressional offices to see if that is in place, or when they expect it to be.
 Ask to be notified of the progress on this issue!

 Love and Light!
 Live your Dreams!

 Play for Peace!

 Peter
