We Can Do It Again! Repealing Today's Failed Prohibition — Take Action!

Every citizen has an important role to play in repealing today’s failed prohibition. Here’s what you can do to help:

* Take action at http://www.WeCanDoItAgain.com. If you agree that prohibition is hurting our economy, making our streets more dangerous and harming public health, why not make sure the people who represent you learn about these horrors as well? All you have to do is visit our site, enter your contact info and click to send a pre-written, editable letter to your federal and state elected officials.
* Join Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. Any citizen or criminal justice professional can become a member of LEAP for free. No matter who you are, please join the thousands who make up our ranks today by visiting http://www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.com/
* Talk to your friends and family about the failure of drug prohibition and what they can do to stop it. Make sure that everyone you know is aware how the “war on drugs” affects their pocketbooks and the safety of their streets.
* Write letters to the editors of your local newspapers. Getting letters published is easy, effective, and rewarding. Just remember that short and to-the-point letters increase your chances of getting published. Valuable tips and resources for writing LTEs can be found online at http://www.MAPinc.org/

* Call your local talk radio stations to weigh in about the costs of prohibition during segments on the economic crisis, for example. Talk radio hosts love to discuss hot-button issues like drug legalization and regulation.
* Build the movement for change by reaching out to prominent local organizations and inviting them to learn about and take action against the harms of prohibition. For example, you might try connecting with local NAACP, ACLU, NOW, and League of Women Voters chapters, as well as chambers of commerce.
* Meet with your elected officials to personally inform them about the need to repeal prohibition. Chances are, your representatives are not going to take a leadership role in this important effort unless they see support for doing so from constituents like you.
* Run for office if you aren’t happy with the leadership your elected officials are providing you with. If, after approaching your representatives in good faith, you find that your concerns aren’t being addressed, replace them. Be the change you wish to see!
* Give this report to someone else so they can learn lessons from America’s history with failed prohibitions.
