] Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) is at this very moment
] attempting to sneak the RAVE Act into conference
] committee on the National AMBER Alert Network Act of 2003
] (S151). S151 is a popular bill about child abduction and
] has nothing to do with drug issues. S151 has already been
] passed by the Senate and House and is now in Conference.
] In contrast, the RAVE Act has not passed even one single
] committee this year. It did pass a committee last year,
] but was so controversial two Senators withdrew their
] sponsorship after the vote.
]
] This means that if the RAVE Act passes the conference
] committee, it is likely to become law without ever having
] a hearing, a debate or a vote. Drug Policy Alliance has
] been told that Senator Biden has told other conference
] committee members, incorrectly, that the ACLU is no
] longer in opposition to the action. He also has told
] conferees that nightclub owners now support him (on the
] basis of one group that switched sides). If the act makes
] it into the conference language it is likely to become
] law. It must be stopped now.
