Los Angeles, September 5, 2008 (LPAC)--Fascist drug-pusher George Soros has put $1.4 million behind the passage of a ballot initiative in California, the misnamed Nonviolent Offender Rehabilitation Act, which will be on the November ballot as Proposition 5. While the initiative claims to be about rehabilitation, it is designed to reward drug users who commit crimes, by keeping them out of jail, if they accept drug treatment.

However, while promising rehabilitation, it actually favors continuing drug use, as it allows drug users to continue using drugs while in treatment! As actor Martin Sheen elaborates in an op ed in the Sacramento Bee, in which he opposes the initiative, Soros' bill would prohibit funding of ongoing drug testing, so that the offenders may continue using drugs, while avoiding incarceration. The initiative is being pushed as one to reduce prison overcrowding.

This is the third time Soros has intervened in California to promote drug usage. In 1996, he donated nearly $500,000 to support passage of the state's medical marijuana law; and he gave $1 million in 2000 to back Proposition 36, a "drug treatment" initiative. Soros' backing of Prop. 5 is part of his present global offensive to promote drug usage.
