[GPSCC-chat] michael brown rally

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       Might someone carry the following message for me to this event?  
I will not be able to attend but could help with research to support any 
serious political effort to challenge the current reality:


****************************


       "Over the past 40 years in the US, the prison population has 
increased by a factor of 10, the average annual income has doubled, and 
research has shown that the only effective drug program is treatment, 
not criminalization.  I believe we should stop prosecuting drug-related 
offenses except when accompanied by violence and use that money to fund 
first-class drug treatment programs and research to make them better 
plus similar programs and research to keep kids in school, providing 
quality child care for at-risk kids from neonatal to age 20.


       "Spencer Graves, PhD statistician, who can help with the research 
if others can manage the politics."


****************************


       (105 words;  should take roughly 53 seconds at a modest pace of 2 
words per second)


       I've made similar offers in the past with no response. However, 
sometimes an idea like this will sell after the 10th time or presented 
by different people ;-)


       Thanks,
       Spencer
