As Presidents Reagan, Bush, Clinton & more continued to support the Drug War, @Dea’s annual budget ballooned - $65M to $3.1B. Trillions more have been spent on incarceration & military drug enforcement. #NoMoreDrugWar youtu.be/7PGeMjGQ_oY

The Drug War has put millions of people behind bars & separated thousands of families. #NoMoreDrugWar

RT @RepDeborahRoss North Carolina leads all other East Coast states in both offshore wind energy generation capacity potential and manufacturing potential. Offshore wind is projected to be a $140 billion industry in the US by 2035, and I believe we're positioned to lead the way in this development. pic.twitter.com/nNEk…
