‘IT’S A WAR’

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

DrugSense FOCUS Alert #390 – Monday, 29 December 2008

‘It’s A War’ – Mexican President Felipe Calderon

6,847 – Mexico’s estimated Drug War related deaths since January 2007
– more than the U.S. fatalities in the Iraq war.

The Mexican government has deployed about 45,000 soldiers and 5,000
federal police to 18 states to fight its Drug War.

Since June the Los Angeles Times has been printing an outstanding
series under the series title ‘Mexico Under Siege’ – 61 articles to
date.

You may read the entire series and future articles as they are added
here http://mapinc.org/find?255

Will Mexico win it’s Drug War? The series may cause you to
doubt.

There is a solution, perhaps the only solution, to end the death and
destruction caused by our current failed policies –
legalization!

DrugSense thanks you all, our friends and supporters, for all you have
done to support the effort in this past year.

Because the economy, and the stock market, has hit some major
DrugSense funders hard we know that some will decrease funding during
2009. Thus DrugSense asks for your financial support to help us keep
doing what we do during the next year.

Thank You
