Alice's home page has been blackened in protest of legislation currently working its way through the US Senate. The Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999 , led by Senators Hatch and Feinstein, would effectively end free speech on the Internet under the guise of protecting people from methamphetamine. Publishing drug information on the Internet would become a felony, punishable by up to ten years in federal prison. Simply linking to a web site containing drug information will also become a crime -- so if YOU were to provide a link to a site that was found to be guilty of this "thought crime," then YOU would face jail as well! This is a misguided attempt to suppress the truth in a war where disinformation, censorship, and outright lies are too often the prohibitionists' main tools. If this bill becomes law, many objectively informative sites could disappear from the web entirely, and the door to further censorship on the Internet will be wide open. We urge everyone, regardless of opinion regarding drug use, to contact their legislators and protest this blatant offense to free speech. Let them know that the Hatch-Feinstein legislation is unconstitutional, ineffective, and fundamentally wrong. We believe in free access to truthful and accurate information about drugs, regardless of political climate and popular opinion. We have faith that in the end, truth shall prevail and the crimes currently being perpetrated by our government will come to an end. Join us in working for peace and compassion, not a war on our fellow citizens in the name of the "War on Drugs."
