Prop 5: Do Sick People Deserve Drug Treatment or Jail Time?


Prop 5: The Nonviolent Offender Rehabilitation Act www.prop5yes.com Proposition 5 will cut state costs. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst estimates those savings at $2.5 billion or more. Prop. 5 safely eases prison overcrowding by investing in drug treatment – which costs much less than prison – for youth and nonviolent offenders. Prop. 5 provides treatment with strict accountability. Prop. 5 is supported by the League of Women Voters of California, Consumer Federation of California, California Nurses Association, California Society of Addiction Medicine, California Federation of Teachers – and many others. Prop. 5 is opposed by the state prison guards’ union, which has contributed almost $2 million for deceptive TV ads. Prison guards benefit from prison overcrowding and new prison building, but California loses. This video has been brought to you by www.americandrugwar.com http

    This country is sick in the head.

    Should rapist be locked up?
    Yes
    Should murderers be locked up?
    Yes
    Should a guy growing a pot plant be Locked up?
    In my opinion no.

    We as decent human beings no what is right and what is wrong. Smoking and growing marijuana is not wrong by any means and the fucktards in DC need to respect the peoples rights and get the DEA out of fucking anyones business. I say the DEA should be closed.

    In the U.S., you’re one mistake away from becoming one of “them.”
    I only found out a year ago just how many prisoners per capita we had compared to other countries. Before then I was certain that communist China or North Korea must incarcerate more people; after all, they were run by “oppressive regimes” or so I was told, where America was a “beacon of freedom.”
    I felt like a total ignoramus; How could I’ve been fooled for so long?

  6. Rockynurse says:

    You are a moron. That would be a violation of the bill of rights. If you do it within people’s rights then it costs millions per execution.

    my answer is… shoot them..

  8. chucktees5353 says:

    i think to make this a better place to live we should give people treatment instead to cruel punnishment. we should at least try to make them better instead of locking them away so that they come out worse than when they went in in result making the world an unsafe place to live. two negatives never solve the problem.
    peace!

    It’s really too bad how much the USA acts as a bully to other countries on the War on Drugs and spreads that bullshit even in areas without jurisdiction.

    I can’t believe you actually thought it’d pass? Cmon people. Open your eyes! Get real.

    SHIT IT DID NOT PASS

    Did the Prop pass?

  13. AmericanDrugWar says:

    Glad we could help!

  14. shockingalternative says:

    ok i have just finished reading the full text you wanted me to read. it does in fact state that those who are sex offenders don’t get a free ticket but it seems, are exempt from this prop 5 as they are considered serious offenders. that’s what i was hoping was the case. thank you for helping me reevaluate my vote choice. yes on 5

  15. shockingalternative says:

    i have genuine compassion for those who are sent in for minor offenses and come out of prison worse off.. having been tormented and brainwashed by the evil ways of prison life. 1 of my best friends is actually in prison and is treated like less than trash.elections are always hard with all the propoganda.

  16. MixSyndicate says:

    Prop 5 only covers those that are determined by a judge to be a non-violent offender. Don’t believe the hype. Vote YES on 5!

  17. AmericanDrugWar says:

    What?! Go to Prop5Yes(dot)com and read the full text of the bill. It’s for non-violent drug offenders, not child rapists. That just goes to show what an expensive TV ad campaign can do!

  18. shockingalternative says:

    i was going to vote yes, but now that i see child rapists can be sent to “treatment” instead of jail, i think NO is what it will be. rapists are evil and need jail and treatment.

    Tired of the “War of Drugs” racket.

  20. koifish83 says:

    Vote Yes on Prop 5. It saves money, rehabilitates, and leaves more space in prison for the real threats to society such as: murders, rapist, robbers, child molestors, etc.

  21. baalyezidi says:

    i have showed my bro.. (CHP) many videos on secret gov. nwo.. ect.. at first he did not believe.. now he is a believer and almost is awake.. he wanted to vote NO on 5… because he said “oh yeah give the criminals a free ride blabla) but after showing him much research he will now vote YES..

    do the same… teach others about the lies the media spreads..

    we almost decriminalized weed here in Canada, The DEA put an end to that, but we will not quit. We will win. We need to talk to our elected officials and tell them that the war on drugs is an inhumane waste of tax dollars.
