New organization in Opposition to Rhode Map RI

11/16/2014

The Rhode Map RI "Economic Plan" appears to be nothing more than a Trojan Horse, providing for the redistribution of income and property rights, poised to go nationwide, with Rhode Island leading the way...

This critical meeting on Wednesday November 19th 2014 will formalize the PRARI group which will lead opposition to Rhode Map RI. This meeting will take place at the Carriage Inn & Saloon on Rt 1 in North Kingstown at 7PM.

The dangerous path of Rhode Map RI's implementation plan will be defined and the organization of PRARI will provide stringent opposition of the implementation of economy-killing principles in Rhode Island. This formation, definition, and staffing of PRARI will play a critical role in derailing the first-in-the-nation implementation strategy which has been planned to roll-out across the state. State-Wide Planning Director Kevin Flynn's program is driven by HUD, utilizing Sustainable Development Agenda 21 principles.

The meeting venue is convenient, easy to find, and provides fine dining for early arrivals and a bar menu for those working and arriving late. Hope to see you all on Wednesday evening!

DRUG ARRESTS NATIONWIDE DROP AFTER MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION IN CO, WA

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The FBI released a new Uniform Crime Report today showing that nationwide, police made more than 693,000 marijuana arrests and more than 1.5 million total drug arrests in 2013. That’s one drug arrest every 21 seconds and one marijuana arrest every 45 seconds. Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a group of police, prosecutors, judges and other law enforcement officials opposed to the war on drugs, pointed to the figures as evidence that huge amounts of police resources are being misspent in pursuit of the war on drugs.

“Police made more drug arrests than for any other single category of crime. Meanwhile, only 64% of murders and 48% of violent crimes generally are being solved,” said Major Neill Franklin (Ret.) “We clearly have our priorities in the wrong place.”

Today's FBI report breaks down these drug arrests, shows that 82.3% of all drug arrests in 2013 were for possession only and 40.6% of all drug arrests were for possession of marijuana (87.9% of all marijuana arrests).

Marijuana arrests were down by more than 56,000 this year from 2012, perhaps showing the impact of smarter marijuana laws and states that have legalized, and while arrests for other drugs increased slightly, the overall number of arrests is down about 50,000 to 1,501,043 from 1,552,432 the year before.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) is a group of more than 100,000 law enforcement officials and other supporters who, after fighting the war on drugs, now advocate for its end.

RI Center for Freedom and Prosperity Thursday Meeting

Post-election November meeting will be held this week, Thursday, November 13 @ 10AM.

The silver lining from this week's elections for our movement is that almost everywhere in the US voters are rejecting the liberal status quo. There is no real reason why RI cannot join the wave, if we are diligent in our advocacy.

Before conservative candidates can regularly win elections, we must change the hearts and minds of the persuadable-middle. This is our coalition's mission and it has happened in other blue states,

At next week's meeting we will propose a new BEACHHEAD infrastructure to help make this happen. Your input and eventual participation is vital.

AGENDA ITEMS:

Election Review
RhodeMapRI - update on recent public hearings
Regular Org Updates
School Choice Campaign
BEACHHEAD - discuss new statewide structure

Venue:
Legion Bowl & Billiards
661 Park Ave,
Cranston, RI 02910
