If you want to speak out against mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines,
these Congressmen need to hear from you soon... (see list below)
Attorney General Janet Reno has called for a reveiw of these guidelines.
If you would like to express your support for reformation of
these guidelines and/or current drug laws and drug sentencing,
the phone number of her office is:
Office of Attorney General Janet Reno: 202-514-2000
The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee is Charles Schumes.
If you would like to express your thoughts to his office,
call Cheif Council Paul Beaulier (BOWL-LERR) at 202-226-2406.
There is currently a bill in the Congress to reform the
Sentencing Guidelines. The Edwards Bill, introduced by
Representative Don Edwards, is bill HR957. It would remove
mandatory minimum sentencing from the federal law books.
The following members of the Judiciary Committee are not
sympathetic to the Edwards bill. It would probably be in
your best interests to inundate them with mail.
