Some Republicans Who Will Not be Heard during the convention:

On The War in Iraq

by Andrew Gumbel, Independent (London) - August 18, 2002
The Bush administration's plans to go to war against Iraq are causing growing disquiet among eminent members of the President's Republican Party, including congressmen, foreign policy veterans and one close confidant of the first President Bush who was deeply involved in the war against Iraq a decade ago.

The names who have come forward this week to express scepticism or outright opposition to a military invasion could not be more high-profile: Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, Lawrence Eagleburger, Dick Armey, and Chuck Hagel, a senator from Nebraska seen as an expert on intelligence and security.

In the War On Drugs

WASHINGTON - August 20 - Prominent Republicans are featured in a full-page ad under the headline “the Right response to the War on Drugs”. The ad will run in the New York Sun each day of the Republican National Convention, August 30th – September 2nd.

“Most Republicans simply don’t know that many of their most prominent leaders think the drug war is a disaster,” said Ethan Nadelmann, Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance. “This ad seemed a good way to let them know, and to plant the seeds for a more vigorous Republican drug policy debate in years to come.”

The publishers of the New York Sun plan a special distribution to make the paper available to every RNC delegate in town as well as thousands of others attending the convention.

Statements from Milton Friedman, William Buckley Jr., Grover Norquist, Gary Johnson and George Shultz are featured in the Drug Policy Alliance ad. Text from the ad includes: "Eighty-five million Americans have experimented with illegal drugs. Since the object of criminal law is to detect and punish the wrongdoer, should we reason that 85 million of us should have spent time in jail?" - William F. Buckley Jr., Syndicated Column, 8/10/96

"...I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years or so you saw the conservative coalition come out for an end to drug prohibition." - Grover Norquist, Poz website, 6/01

"Can any policy, however high-minded, be moral if it leads to widespread corruption, imprisons so many, has so racist an effect, destroys our inner cities, wreaks havoc on misguided and vulnerable individuals and brings death and destruction to foreign countries?" - Milton Friedman, New York Times 1/11/98

"...We need at least to consider and examine forms of controlled legalization of drugs." - George P. Shultz, Wall Street Journal, 10/27/89

  "Take it from a businessman: The War on Drugs is just money down the drain." - Gary E. Johnson, Intervention Magazine interview, 2004
