Chabot Fights Drug Legalization Announces Plans on 4/20: A Date Used by Pro-Drug Organizations to Celebrate Marijuana
Inland Empire, CA – April 20, 2010. 63rd Assembly Candidate, LT Commander (s) Paul Chabot, labeled by the pro-drug legalization lobby as a “Drug Warrior,” fights to defeat any and all efforts to legalize drugs in California.
April 20th (420), a date illegal drug users celebrate marijuana use, Chabot announces blueprint to fight drug use and legalization in California.
Chabot stated, “We have enough problems in California with alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Sadly, a fringe movement in California believes society would be better off if we simply legalize and legitimize illegal drugs. There could be no greater harm to our youth and communities if the pro-drug lobby in California has their way. I will continue to fight alongside parents, youth, teachers, cops, clergy and all others who are standing up against all efforts to degrade our neighborhoods and the minds of our children.”
Chabot is calling for:
1. Stepped up efforts to dismantle drug gangs and cartels
2. Increased Federal assistance to secure our border
3. Mandatory GPS monitoring for all parolees and probationers
4. Mandatory drug testing for those receiving Welfare and other public assistance
5. Increased efforts to crack down on drugged driving
6. Agencies to create a state-wide, annual, anti-drug strategy
7. Increased youth and parental drug education programs
8. Student drug testing
9. Volunteer anti-drug coalitions in all 58 counties
10. Performance review of state funded drug treatment, prevention, education and enforcement
Chabot, a former White House Drug Czar Senior Advisor, who is authoring a book on drug cartels and serves as a reserve narcotics law enforcement officer, is the founder of the Inland Valley Drug Free Community Coalition and the Coalition for a Drug Free California. Chabot is a founding member of a bipartisan state-wide task force fighting to defeat drug legalization efforts on this November ballot.
