Support sentencing reform

The “land of the free and the home of the brave” shouldn’t lead the world in incarceration, yet it does. Ending all forms of prohibition (guns, drugs, people) is the best way to fix that. Barring that, progress could be made by having less draconian sentences, especially for victimless crimes. If you support sentencing reform, please read our letter to Congress and the President. You can send it or put it in your own words. Remember…

• Your reps count the positions you take in your letters for the same reason they buy opinion polls. They want to know what you think.
• It will take fewer people to influence Congress than replace Congress. Think about that!
• When you vote you’re one among millions. But when you write Congress your letter is one among dozens. That’s where your power lies — use it!
