War on Drug Czar
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) introduces amendment to kill the drug czar's office
In March 2006, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) introduced an amendment to the ONDCP Reauthorization Act (HR 2829) that would have eliminated the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), the home of the drug czar, over the next five years. While the amendment didn't pass, it received 85 "yes" votes (including 47 from Republicans). This is an encouraging development in MPP's ongoing campaign to fight funding for the drug czar's wasteful, misleading, and ineffective anti-marijuana campaigns.
