well, kiddies, the house subcommitte decided to postpone voting on the RAVE Act (that's Reducing Americans' Vulnerability to Ecstasy), a real victory for concertgoers/clubbers/lounge and bar attendees/ravers/anyone on someone else's private property, really, the way it's written. its broad language could actually sentence you to fines of $250,000 or prison time for someone smoking weed in your backyard. the text of the RAVE Act is here: http://www.emdef.org/s2633/ and below is an update about what's happening now with it, and what we need to do next - as it has only been, i repeat, postponed. i received it yesterday from the drug policy alliance. ================================================== ================ 1. RAVE Act Update 2. CAll Your Federal Candidates Today! Help the Alliance Complete The Drug Policy Voter Guide ================================================== ================ RAVE ACT UPDATE Last week we asked our supporters to call Members of the House Subcommittee on Crime and request they vote against the RAVE Act or postpone consideration of the bill. We are happy to report that the Subcommittee decided not to vote on the RAVE Act, and that the bill is likely dead in the House for the year. While the Subcommittee's decision was based largely on the fact it is unlikely that the full House will have time to vote on the bill before Congress goes out of session, the Drug Policy Alliance's campaign to slow down and stop this bill no doubt played a role. While we are not out of the water yet (the Senate may still consider the RAVE Act this week, and Congress may be back in December and could consider it then), the Drug Policy Alliance's national campaign has likely stopped the bill for the year. We are very thankful to all our supporters who called their elected officials and educated them on the dangers of the RAVE Act. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Although the Subcommittee did not vote on the RAVE Act, it did hold a public hearing on the bill. Graham Boyd, director of the ACLU's Drug Policy Litigation Project, testified against the RAVE Act and made a great case that the RAVE Act and the existing crack house law have problems. A number of Members expressed concerns about the RAVE Act, including Rep. Bobby Scott, Ranking Members on the Subcommittee.

That's why the Drug Policy Alliance has initiated the first-ever voters guide devoted to drug policy this year. In order to get a majority of candidates to answer, they need to hear from you, their constituents! That's why we are asking our members and supporters to contact every candidate in the country who has not answered the questionnaire to date. Here's what to do: 1) Call their offices! Click here to find out the phone number of candidates near you: http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/10_16_02candidates.cfm 2) As a constituent, tell them that drug policy issues are important to you and that you request (sometimes demand) they fill out Drug Policy Alliance's voters guide questionnaire. 3) Explain that you will likely vote based on their responses, or lack there of. 4) Tell them that the survey can be easily filled in less than five minutes by returning it via fax to (202)216-0986, by filling it out online, or by calling us to fill it out orally. 5) Every candidate should have received a copy via email, fax, or both; but if they did not, have them contact our offices immediately by emailing our project coordinator Chris Mulligan at cmulligan@drugpolicy.org or by calling (202)216-0035 x 201. 6) Finally, explain that as a concerned voter in their district, refusal to answer is entirely unsatisfactory. Drug policy reform is increasingly present in the political mainstream. Since 1996 voters and state governments have enacted almost 150 notable drug policy reforms in 46 states. 46 of the 143 reforms were enacted in 2001 alone; and 2002 is proving to be another reform-driven year, with 14 reforms enacted as of August. This survey will serve as a barometer for congressional candidates on these hot-button issues. Constituents deserve to know how candidates feel about these issues and with your help we can accomplish this. So, start calling!

5' and 9 + 3/4" (i'm not gonna round it up to 5' 10"; i'm not a liar .)

you're in such a sweet mood tonight, gabo! you said in another thread that something "made you warm inside," as opposed to "made you hard," (which is what you'd usually say). to the unpredictable, multi-faceted gabo !

i don't understand how this thread is any different from all the "who likes eating pussy?" threads (of which we have very many.).

yeah - i mostly had crushes on grown men when i was a kid .

thanks for the answer , and yeah, lookin' for the ladies . can anyone help me id this song? i really wanna find this one, but can't remember the title or artist. here's the thread: http://bbs.clubplanet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=123732

$7 valet parking at clubs is fo' suckas . tune in tomorrow.

sassa, i'd heard "sick" on the east coast years ago on the east coast and i still do, since i moved out here. and "hella" is from northern cali . i'm surprised that people still say, "mad", but i only hear the east coasters doing that. and some people on the new york board, who will remain nameless , call people "herbs". i really haven't heard that since '94, and i was glad when it died. does anyone remember when the record label def american held a funeral for the word "def"? it was an event with performers and execs - a big thing. does anyone know if that label is just known as "american", now?

i know this is the fashion board, but there's often a lot of talk about beauty products, and good skin is always fashionable . i've been using curel, but i'm not all that stoked about it. i'm looking for a body lotion that's: 1. quick-absorbing. i hate it when it just stays greasy on you for a while. curel doesn't do that, at least, and that's why i've been using it for a while now. 2. fragrance free. 'nuff said. 3. for sensitive skin. 4. for normal to dry skin. i don't have really dry skin, i just need to use some after the shower and whatnot. and i guess those are my only requirements. i've always just had a really hard time finding one that meets the first demand (absorb, please!). so, if anyone's got a favorite, help me out, please !

just say "no" to cowboy hats - men, women, now, in the past, or in the future . i've seen a lot of bad stuff, i guess, but the one that comes to mind right now is a guy with a bowling-style shirt (boxy, loose, short-sleeved button-down) with a holographic pattern of naked girl silhouettes. yep, the ladies just love it when you wear naked girls slapped all over you . classy .

i've always been a smell-oriented person... that was the best, when i had someone .

the shoot that britney did for tv guide on the beach in hawaii proved her boobs are real. post-that shoot (in '00 or '01, that i forget), i dunno, but i don't think you can say that till you feel 'em (the burden of proof is on you!), and you know you want to !

i apologize for that horrible joke. seriously. really bad .

reminds me of a terrible joke i heard today: what do you call a lesbian with long fingers? well-hung.

this is a song i remember that's at least pre-'92, and it just so happens that it would fit on the old skool girls' compilation i'm trying to make. i don't remember the name of it or the female artist, though, and i've been wondering about it for years, because i love the line i'll put in boldface. here's all i remember: ...i'm an artist, no, not a painter the similarity couldn't be plainer for those of you who don't understand this you on the floor is like a brush to the canvas... can anyone help me out? i'd be so so so grateful !!!

color me square, but what exactly is a "fuck face"? or do you just mean the faces we make when we're having a fucking good time ? or a good fucking time, whatever ... those are unavoidable for anyone who's really into it, or are there some people who really have faces made of stone during sex?

o, and pardon me , but what song is that?

too sevendee ate .

i remember nasa; that was when rave was just getting on the big-time scene (remember nasa being in the movie "kids"?). i never went; i totally looked down on people who were into the club "thing" and "that kind of music," at the time . what a shame; i wasted so many years. but i was a teenager then, too (also from nyc). what high school imprisoned you ?

"sick" might just be the newer version of "ill."

there are many people with whom and times when it is best not to discuss politics . tune in tomorrow.
