after a couple emails to senator tom harkin he finally emailed me back. here is what he said..


Thank you for contacting me. I hope you will pardon my delay in
responding to you.

I do not believe the answer in solving this country's problem of drug
abuse and the violence associated with drug trafficking is to make drugs
legal. I have seen too much of the ill effects of these illegal drugs on
our nation's young people, as well as this country's law enforcement
officers, to believe the solution is to make these drugs more readily
available by legalizing them.

As the father of two daughters, it greatly disturbs me that children are
exposed to drugs at such a young age. I am concerned that legalization of
this drug will only increase the number of children who gain access to its
harmful effects.

Legalizing drugs is equivalent to declaring surrender in the war on
drugs. However we may differ in tactics, I am hopeful that we can work
together to fight drugs in our communities and to make Iowa drug free.

Again, thanks for sharing your views with me. Please don't hesitate to
let me know how you feel on any issue that concerns you.

Sincerely,



Tom Harkin
United States Senator


gosh i love our senators..

Email him with the facts of marijuana and the fact that the second largest medical research group deemed it safe. That is irrefutable evidence.

I do not do any other drugs besides pot, and I have seen to many things go bad with them, but as far as marijuana goes, it being illegal is ludicris.

"...declaring surrender in the war on drugs." What else can you do when 'DRUGS' and you had an arm wrestling match for the past 30 years and your arm has been pinned to the
table the whole damn time. And you have your wrist all bent really lame and obviously losing and you insist that you haven't been pinned yet. Go Fuck yourself Mr.Harkin...
did I say that out loud?
the left wing flaps and the right wing flaps but its the head in the middle that speaks.

Better yet look into who are his political contributors, I'm betting that a bunch of them are drug companies. Follow the Money and you find the answers.
Once you find the answers, you confront him with it at the Next Town Hall Meeting scheduled.
All Senators and congressmen have them.

Find out when the next time the Senate takes a break and the Town Hall Meetings will soon follow. I have confronted my senator about 5 times now.... He can't just give you a form letter then.

shoot him this link:

Drug War Victims

and ask him what's stopping the DEA from raiding his house b/c of fuck ups with the wrong address or some shit.

ask him if he knows how much the war on drugs is costing taxpayers who elect him into office!!!!!

E-mails are worthless, I email my senators and representative at least 3-5 times a month, but so do thousands of others and they just slam them to the recycle bin, or have some 16 year old page send a form letter. These politicians didn't get to where they are without having a stock answer for every question. Lobbyists good-Drugs bad. don't want to here any facts, just what government studies have shown, drugs bad, unless they are made by big Pharma.

Harkin forgot to add: "And in view of the fact that alcohol is responsible for 100,000 deaths annually here in the United States, I am going to introduce a bill to reestablish prohibition and annul the Twenty-First Amendment to the Constitution."

We ALL should mail him!
i found a good read about harkin. it talks about how he automatically puts marijuana in the same class as heroin. he actually thinks it (weed) can kill people. this is the exact thinking from the "reefer madness era".

Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) has a serious 'drug' problem | The Smirking Chimp

it would be really cool if we could get as many people to email him. i understand some people have stuff to hide and dont wanna get involved. leo can come bust down my door and get my dugout. i dont care.
