Senator Feinstein, you're wrong on this issue. The No on Prop. 5 campaign is fund by, guess who? The California Correctional Peace Officers Association.

Here's an excerpt from a really smart dude who knows something about the "war on drugs"
The war on drugs has made America the biggest incarcerator in the entire world. Pew Center: 1 in 100: Behind Bars in America 2008 (Showing United States as world's highest per capita incarcerator, with 1% of its entire population incarcerated)
It has put a lot of poor people and minorities in prison.
