This is something I'd love to have some back-up on for the letter I'm
writing. The Oregonian does a fair job of publishing reformers letters.
Someone with a titled organization position could get an OpEd published
I'd reckon.
John Walters... needs a good whacking:
METHAMPHETAMINE AWARENESS DAY
A day to reflect on the fight against meth

> Today is National Methamphetamine Awareness Day -- the first time a
> president has designated a day to focus national attention on
> methamphetamine, an extremely destructive and harmful drug.
>
> For parents, today is a reminder of the importance of talking to our
> children about dangerous drugs. For our youth, it is an opportunity to
> reaffirm a commitment to a drug-free future. For those struggling with
> addiction, it is an occasion to seek treatment. And for all Americans,
> it is an opportunity to thank law enforcement officers, treatment
> counselors and prevention advocates whose efforts have contributed to
> a nearly 20 percent decline in drug use among American youth over the
> past four years.
sigh...
> all Americans, especially our youth, should reaffirm their commitment
> to a drug-free future.
