1. DAN RIFFLE: Three great bills in Virginia
================================================
Its my pleasure to tell you that advocates of marijuana policy reform have at
least three bills to be excited about in the 2012 session of Virginias General
Assembly.
The first, HJ 140 (see http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=tpWxwfs4oC5MkQHU_H9Axg
), sponsored by Arlington Democrat David Englin
http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=MwcQrnFfuoz4r3JDiB1_dw , would create a joint
subcommittee of delegates and senators tasked with studying the revenue impact
on Virginia of taxing and regulating the sale of marijuana in other words,
ending marijuana prohibition in Virginia. Please ask your legislators to
support this study:
http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=JQSEq58bInFe0330XQrbJw
The second, HJ 139 (see http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=koT9ec6JPI-y029iinUg9g
), also sponsored by Englin, is a resolution calling on Virginia Governor Bob
McDonnell to support a rescheduling petition submitted last month by governors
from Rhode Island and Washington state that would move marijuana out of
Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act so that it can be regulated and
studied just like other medications. Please ask your legislators to vote yes
on HJ 139:
http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=8xDJZK9UN7DagkVFncwOtQ
Finally, HB 485 (see http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=yBLo-GPmG2R6fFNhTd9Qdg ),
sponsored by Roanoke Democrat Onzlee Ware
http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=ljdJ_hRJLd7PjfIb9zTPkA , is pro-job legislation
that would make changes to Virginias expungement laws, making it easier for
individuals charged with possession of marijuana to have court and arrest
records expunged (i.e. hidden for purposes of background checks). In other
words, it would alleviate employment discrimination against individuals who
choose to use marijuana. Click here to support Del. Wares bill:

Thanks to Michael Krawitz http://www.veteransformedicalmarijuana.org/ and other
activists in Virginia for making it possible to share all this good news, and
thank you for supporting the Marijuana Policy Project.

2. BOOK REVIEW: Marc Guttman - "Why Peace"
================================================
Marc Guttman is a long-time Libertarian Party activist in Connecticut. His new
book, "Why Peace", was published recently.
"Who doesn't want peace?" you might ask yourself. But look around you: War and
human rights violations are everywhere. Fear is a dominant cultural bond.
Meanwhile, so many of us consent to this aggressionwhen it is done by the
government we think represents us.

3. Public Schools: The War on Kids
================================================
From Karen De Coster:
>>Here is a brilliant documentary on the horrors of public school
>>prisons in America, where children are subjected to monitoring,
>>authoritarian supervision, arbitrary rules, conformity, coerced
>>abstinence, zero tolerance insanity, irrational fears, invasion of
>>privacy, prison-like security, mind-controlling drugs, and the police
>>state. I highly recommend this - it is a stunning capture of how the
>>federal public school system has become a security garrison with
>>satellite detainment facilities. I especially like the part (in Part
>>II) where the filmmaker visually shows how so many of the public
>>schools look exactly like prisons. Some of the footage you will see is
>>staggering, and some of the interviews with public school bureaucrats
>>are remarkably creepy.
