Should crack cocaine receive tougher sentences?
Federal sentences for crack cocaine have long been 100 times harder than for powdered cocaine -- and the Bush Administration wants to keep it that way. Attorney General Mike Mukasey has asked Congress to reinstate those sentencing guidelines that were recently rescinded by the U.S. Sentencing Commission, potentially giving thousands of imprisoned felons a break on their sentences.
What is the justification for different sentences? Does the sentencing commission's action endanger public safety?

What Are These Guys Doing In Prison in The First Place?
Submitted on February 13th, 2008 by Chuck_JohnsonIt's no secret that the drug war disproportionately hurts blacks and Latinos, but that isn't the real reason to oppose it. Nor is it any secret that there are racist origins of the current drug war. Here's a great quotation from reason that proves my point for me:
It bothers me to me no end that in some states you get more time for selling drugs than you do for raping a woman. It ought to be a national embarrassment.
Just another Bush speaking lie's & rethoric

You can't go forward when all you talk about is going further in reverse, debt and being in war that falsely concieved and contrieved to be in. One that we can't win, because it's been going on since the B.C. year's. It will not stop ever until we are all dead. The word say's take care of home first. But, yet you're trying to take care of everything except that which is most important. It's more than just word's that can be spoken it has got to be ACTION. People are fed up with lie's on top of lie's on top of that plenty of shady rethoric. You need to get smart and realize he's not the right choice,but Huckabee is. He does'nt need to be asked to be the V.P. but President. Anything else would just be null and void. Everyone is starting to get on a true, sure liferaft to save themself from a sinking ship. The republican party only think's of themself and the high especial class, but not
the common people who are the root of this country. Enough is Enough of unacceptable jargon. Lose the Old dud if you're smart, but maybe you're not. All the money you've been working hard trying to hide away it shall come to the light. Remember this, the vwealth of the sinful, wicked is laid up for the just. You guy's are far from being just and worthy. GOD shall make you pay for all of your scrupulous, unwise, disdain act's. All that are constantly uncalled for. Clean it up and quit trying to advert the truth.
