Dear friends,



President Obama's nomination of Michele Leonhart to be permanent head of the DEA is a trial balloon - a test of strength and resolve.



The nomination of a ruthless prohibitionist is a test of whether he takes himself seriously when he says that the federal government is going to stop wasting time, money and people on medical marijuana raids in states where it is legal. It is, more significantly, a test of whether he takes the drug reform movement seriously.



And the only way he will take us seriously is if we write now telling President Obama to replace Acting Administrator Michele Leonhart with someone who respects the rights of the ill and vulnerable.



If you have received appeals from our allies in drug policy reform, please send those along as well as ours.



Every email they receive counts.



Obama's pandering to the prohibitionists is a trial balloon.



We need to shoot it full of lead.



Thank you,





Neill Franklin

Executive Director
