This morning at 11:00 am pacific, I made one of my patentened monthly "COLD CALLS" to the nationwide talk radio show hosted by Mr. BUCK HUNTER and Mr. DANA SILVY. ( listen on the web at www.talkamerica.com) - there is a link to it on my web page- www.scn.org/~bc616 ( I don't have a computer so I've never actually heard the show live but I have spoke with them around twenty times) I dialed in- 1-800-298-8255, I knew I would get right through with little waiting because they always take my calls, partly because they agree with me on most of my issues, and partly because I mention web sites they are interested in, and partly because I always mention that TALKAMERICA.COM is so great! I had a feeling that they would be talking about the case of Robert Downey Junior getting six months in jail. they read from a DOWNEY press release about how he asked for help many years ago as a teenager and it didn't work for him. ( I hope we will get a posting of his comments here later) here are a few points I made and things I mentioned.: Downey is a tax paying, hard working, (actor, screenwriter, director) gives mucho dollars to charities, and has dealt with some adversity in his life ( his wife just died) He basicaly blows away the stereoptype that all drug users, be they medical, or recreational users, and yes even those unfortunate few addicted to drugs, ARE NOT BAD PEOPLE! I mentioned that we didn't throw Betty Ford in jail for her pill and alcohol problem! >PRO-LEGALIZATION HOST DANA SILVY brought up Geraldine Ferarro as well and said that if he had his way, all drugs would be legal so we could regulate their use and get rid of the evil black market. I talked about the Will Foster case in oklahoma getting little attention in the news for his 93 year sentence, and I read from a letter from Clinton about the "anecdotal" medical uses of marijuana and the "research review" of the national drug control policy I also brought up the old line they used in the 80's about how marijuana will make you A-motivational and ruin your sperm count, So I congratulated MICK JAGGER oon the birth of his healthy new baby boy! And in my last comments, I plugged the NOVEMBER COALITION www.november.org p.s. to give out a web site address on the radio speak very slow, and spell it out as in THE NOVEMBER COALITION at www.november.OH ARE GEE get it ? what I mean is don't say "ORG" as a word. many don't know that means organization It's just that easy folks! try it! check out my web page at www.scn.org/~bc616 hey folks, am I supposed to be the only one who uses OPEN LINE TIME on the talk radio shows? how's about hearing some of your thoughts tonight at 1:00 am thru 4:00 am on KIRO? c'mon there has to be some other night owls out there! the number is 1-800-kiro710 and they do have a web site at www.kiro710.com! there are also a bunch of shows listed at www.talkamerica.com, CHECK OUT CRIME TALK they are two cops who are aginst prohibition of marijuana ( for medicine at least- they supported initiative 685 in november ) or call president reagan's son MIKE at 1-800 468-mike he will at least listen, and once I got him to say GO AHEAD AND LEGALIZE IT!
