Why do you care?

Why do you care about reforming mandatory minimum sentencing laws?

We wanted to know, so we've been asking FAMM supporters to tell us: on video.

It only takes one or two minutes in front of a camera to tell us why YOU care about making sentences fairer. Maybe you have a loved one in prison. Maybe paying all those taxes for all those prisons just burns you up (Happy Tax Week!). Maybe you think we're putting too many of the wrong people in prison for far too long, and it just isn't right. Maybe you think there are better ways we can keep the public safe and punish lawbreakers.  So...why do you care?

Watch what others are saying, and join the conversation!

I care for many reasons. Not sure two minutes can hold them all, or even an acceptable representative sample.

Why pay the high priests of evil to commit crimes against humanity? That is the essence of Drug War.

People who are familiar with the Bible and those who worship God can figured it out and see it’s mentioned in prophecy.

Take Daniel’s vision of the 4 beasts. Clearly the last one is a vision of the prohibition/prison industrial complex. The beast has iron teeth (prison bars) and devours its victims; it also stomps the whole earth, trampling it. We spray defoliant on children in South America, we spent how many tens of millions on a prison in Iraq that was such a construction nightmare it just sits rotting? The U.S. is not “exporting freedom” or “exporting democracy” it’s exporting rape, ruin, greed, and oppression.

You know how we crush the needy in court.

Or how those who claim they follow the Bible do not require two human witnesses, but rely on the barking of just one dog.

Even Isaiah saw it: God Judges Leaders and Elders.

How about the Wicked Men, Setting Traps, Cages Full, Rich and Powerful, Not Defending Our Rights?

And don’t forget about the parable of the tenants who killed the truth, Jesus said those who were in charge would be thrown out where there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth? He also said many of those who are greatest will become the least, clearly this means that lots of rich and powerful people will be thrown down from the lofty positions where they are now. And why the gnashing of teeth? Because they will be denied all those things which they denied others, treated the same way they treated others. No pain medicine for them, no fruit from the plants God made; only Gehenna, the trash heap.

You can see this in their fruit now, they trash the planet in their EVIL bloodlust against God’s plants.

Yes, this too was prophesied, but by Paul (or someone writing under his name).
