Rob Ryan, host of the Cincinnati-based "Amnesty International Hour" radio show (www.aiusa86.org), is pleased to report that he has authored and passed a resolution at the 2007 Amnesty International USA annual meeting. Note that Amnesty International is the largest human rights organization in the world. The resolution is titled "The War on Drugs and Human Rights".

The resolution calls for sending a coalition message to the political leadership of United States (which is all the way up and down the political chain) about the numerous impacts of the war on drugs. Our drug war policies have many victims including medical marijuana patients in the United States and right here in Ohio.

The next step for the resolution is implementation; Rob has been in contact with the National Organization of Criminal Defense lawyers as a partner in this effort. If you are interested in getting involved in this effort contact Rob at radio@aiusa86.org or 888-385-2843.
