William Zeliff said "it is my pleasure to offer this special order tonight on a subject which is of major importance to all of us. Remember the drug war? Remember when casual use was condemned, not discussed in the same breath as legalization? When the Nation's commitment to interdicting drugs wasn't shrinking? When Presidents and First Ladies spoke out, especially to children, about the dangers of drug use? Well, I do, and so do many of my friends and colleagues in this Chamber. That is why, as chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security, International Affairs and Criminal Justice, I will be joined by Democrats and Republicans in holding historic hearings on March 9. Our singular and united purpose: To re-awaken the Nation. To refocus our great Nation on the renewed need for engaged, outspoken national leadership. From the very, very top. Sadly, there is a growing consensus that our current approach is failing." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
