REDIRECT DRUG RAIDS

It certainly looks like the feds (i.e., the Drug Enforcement 
Administration) are attempting to demonstrate that our tax dollars 
are hard at work with the many raids conducted in the Inland Empire 
and Los Angeles this week.

If only the federal government would use the same threats of the RICO 
law against businesses employing illegals.

Instead of making life more difficult for patients with severe 
medical problems, federal law enforcement would better serve the 
public by targeting business owners who flout the law, drive wages 
down and don't care about American workers.

As far as the medical marijuana dispensaries are concerned, the band 
Traffic said it best back in 1972, "Light Up or Leave Me Alone."
