America's R.A.V.E. Act Hidden in Homelands Security Bill

US authorities have incorporated the incredibly draconian R.A.V.E bill into a popular domestic security bill sponsored by Senator Tom Daschle, in their latest attempt to wipe out nightlife in America. Civil liberties campaigners from the Drug Policy Alliance immediately mobilised a campaign against the authorities plan and called on music fans to protest to Senator Daschle.

"Businessmen and women could be prosecuted even if they were not involved in drugs - and even if they took steps to stop drug use on their property," they warned on their website.

"Because of its broad language, the proposed law would even potentially subject people to twenty years in federal prison if one or more of their guests smoked marijuana at their party or barbecue," they added.

"Unfortunately, drug warriors in Congress are determined to enact their agenda, even if it undermines public health, stifles free speech, and punishes innocent business owners," they continued.

"They have stuffed RAVE Act provisions in a bill (S. 22) they know many Members of Congress will have to support. We need your help in getting these provisions out."
