My bestfriend is facing 27 due to the harsh mandatory minimums. The laws are unjust unfair and shatters the lives of so many who deserve a second chance. I do not understand how we can say the laws of this great land are justice when a murderer gets 30 years and people associated with drugs are getting life sentences. No ifs, no ands, not buts about it. Instead of judging the person we judge the crime. I will continue to pray as long as I have breath in my body that these laws are modified. All we want is justice, fairness, elimination of such a disparity. Is that really to much to ask?... 65150@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 30 Aug 2009 23:23:46 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_265.html#62993 Perhaps stiffer fines levied against whom had responsibility.Underb the exercise of grown adults being violated repeatedly and the local "Brother" group ignoreing the law to create leverage illegally against thoughs not involved but trying to side grab personal property illegally legal.... 62993@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:51:21 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_265.html#62392 i pray that this bill gets passed... 62392@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 10 Jul 2009 23:35:33 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_265.html#58301 My husband is the feature story in the November Coalition Razor Wire.
