 2006 DRUG POLICY REFORM
CONGRESSIONAL VOTER GUIDE
A SURVEY OF
THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON DRUG POLICY REFORM
A REPORT BY THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE NETWORK

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The core mission of the Drug Policy Alliance Network (DPAN), the nation’s leading drug policy
reform organization, is to advance those policies and attitudes that best reduce the harms of both
drug abuse and the war on drugs, and to protect the sovereignty of individuals over their minds and
bodies.

DPAN’s federal vision includes cost-effective policies to protect public health, public safety, the
public purse, federalism, and American values of liberty, equality and justice. Among DPAN’s
specific Congressional priorities are: removing barriers to substance abuse treatment; eliminating
mandatory minimum sentencing; cutting wasteful drug war spending; prohibiting the federal
government from undermining state medical marijuana laws; and implementing policies to reduce
drug overdoses and the spread of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

Evaluation of U.S Representatives is based on several nonpartisan criteria. Most important to this
survey was how they voted on the following six pieces of legislation:

1. House Vote 245 – Amendment to HR 2862 on Justice Assistance Grants: increasing funding
to the corrupt and troubled Byrne Justice Assistance Grant program (DPAN opposed);
2. House Vote 255 – Amendment to HR 2862 on Medical Marijuana: prohibiting the DEA
from undermining state medical marijuana laws (DPAN supported);
3. House Vote 264 – Amendment to HR 2862 on Racial Conviction Distribution: requiring
local narcotics taskforces that receive federal money to ban racial profiling and report their
convictions by race (DPAN supported);
4. House Vote 329 – Amendment to HR 3057 on the Andean Counterdrug Initiative: cutting
funding to the counterproductive Andean Counterdrug Initiative (DPAN supported);
5. House Vote 344 – Amendment to HR 3058 on the National Youth Anti-Drug Campaign:
increasing funding to the failed anti-marijuana media campaign (DPAN opposed); and
6. House Vote 435 – S 45: Drug Addiction Treatment: lifting the 30-patient limit on group
practices for treating people who struggle with addiction to heroin and other opioids
through buprenorphine-assisted approaches (DPAN supported).

Other factors were also considered in evaluating members of Congress, including their support for
major drug policy reform legislation.

About the Drug Policy Alliance Network
The Drug Policy Alliance Network is the leading organization in the United States promoting
alternatives to the failed war on drugs. Headquartered in New York City, we also have offices in Los
Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Trenton, and Washington, D.C. Our goal is to
institute a new bottom line in America’s approach to drugs – one that focuses on reducing the
harms associated with both drug abuse and the war on drugs. We pursue this goal through lobbying
policymakers, educating the public, organizing voters, and enacting reforms at the ballot box. More
information on the Drug Policy Alliance Network can be found at www.drugpolicy.org.

About the 2006 Voter Guide

The 2006 Drug Policy Reform Congressional Voter Guide is designed to educate voters on which members
of Congress are good on drug policy reform and which are not. It covers key drug-related votes
from 2005, as well as support for major reform legislation in Congress.

The guide has a number of limitations, however. First, it only covers recorded votes from last year
that every member of Congress had an opportunity to participate in. Since a lot of votes occur in
committee or behind the scenes, many votes are excluded. (In particular, we have excluded
committee votes on mandatory minimums and funding for drug treatment, because most members
of Congress do not sit on the committees that voted on those issues.)

Secondly, because some bills never come up for a vote, we are limited to what Congress votes on.
We have, however, included a helpful overview of the most important drug policy reform bills in
Congress and who supports them.

Finally, this guide only covers U.S. Representatives because of the lack of meaningful drug-related
floor votes in the Senate last year. An update of the guide, that will cover votes that occur in
Congress in 2006, will be released later this year.

An electronic copy of this guide can be found at www.drugpolicy.org.

Introduction: A New Bottom Line for the War on Drugs
Despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars and incarcerating millions of Americans, illegal
drugs remain cheap, potent and widely available in every community. Meanwhile, the harms
associated with drug abuse – addiction, overdose and the spread of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis, to
name just a few – continue to mount. Add to this record of failure the collateral damage of the war
on drugs – broken families, racial disparities, wasted tax dollars, and the erosion of civil liberties –
and it is easy to see why so many Americans are frustrated with our nation’s drug policies.

Federal policymakers need to adopt a new bottom line in the war on drugs – one that focuses policy
decisions on the best way to reduce the harms associated with drug abuse, while ensuring that the
policies themselves do not exacerbate the harms or create new social problems of their own. The
optimal drug policy, of course, would be the one that best reduces both the harms associated with
drug abuse and the harms associated with the war on drugs.

A good drug policy should reduce both drug addiction and racial disparities in the criminal justice
system. It should keep our streets safe and families together. Reduce drug overdoses and wasteful
government spending. Protect our kids and the Bill of Rights.

Members of Congress should be judged on their willingness to support this new bottom line. Are
they working to reduce drug addiction, overdoses, and the spread of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis? Are
they also working to reduce racial disparities, civil rights abuses, government waste, and the number
of nonviolent prisoners behind bars?

The 2006 Drug Policy Reform Congressional Voter Guide is a nonpartisan tool for gauging members of
Congress on their commitment to reforming failed U.S. drug policies. It covers key drug policy
votes and related legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives during 2005.

Background on Key 2005 House Votes
House Vote 245 – Amendment to HR 2862 on Justice Assistance Grants
Sponsored by Rep. Terry (R-NE), this amendment would have increased funding for Byrne Justice Assistance
Grants by $286 million. (It would have offset this spending increase with a 0.448 percent across-the-board cut
in discretionary spending.) The Drug Policy Alliance Network opposed the amendment because the Byrne
program, which provides law enforcement grants to states, perpetuates racial disparities, police corruption
and over-incarceration. And until states are forced to pay the full cost of their draconian criminal justice
policies they will never have to consider reforms.
The amendment was rejected, 175-252. [DPA Network: Vote NO]

House Vote 255 – Amendment to HR 2862 on Medical Marijuana

Sponsored by Rep. Hinchey (D-NY), Rep. Rohrabacher (R-CA), Rep. Farr (D-CA), and Rep. Paul (R-TX),
this amendment would have prohibited the U.S. Department of Justice from spending any money on
undermining state medical marijuana laws. The Drug Policy Alliance Network supported the amendment
because marijuana should be made available for medical use and the federal government should stop wasting
resources arresting patients and their caregivers.
The amendment was rejected, 161-264. [DPA Network: Vote YES]

House Vote 264 – Amendment to HR 2862 on Racial Conviction Distribution

Sponsored by Rep. Jackson Lee (D-Texas), this amendment would have prohibited federal law enforcement
grants from going to local or state narcotics taskforces that do not ban racial profiling or track statistics on
the racial distribution of drug convictions. The Drug Policy Alliance Network supported the amendment
because we oppose racial profiling and support efforts to eliminate civil rights abuses in the war on drugs.
The amendment was rejected, 183-244. [DPA Network: Vote YES]

House Vote 329 – Amendment to HR 3057 on the Andean Counterdrug Initiative

Sponsored by Rep. McGovern (D-MA), this amendment would have cut funding to the Andean Counterdrug
Initiative (A.K.A. “Plan Colombia”) by $100 million. The Drug Policy Alliance Network supported the
amendment because the Andean Counterdrug Initiative is doing more harm than good and is wasting
taxpayer money.
The amendment was rejected, 189-234. [DPA Network: Vote YES]

House Vote 344 – Amendment to HR 3058 on the National Youth Anti-Drug Campaign
Sponsored by Rep. Souder (R-IN), this amendment increased funding for taxpayer-subsidized anti-marijuana
print and TV ads by $25 million. (This increase was offset by a decrease in the General Services
Administration Federal Buildings Fund.) The Drug Policy Alliance Network opposed this amendment
because the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign has had no impact on youth drug use rates and is
wasting scarce resources that could be used on effective prevention programs.
The amendment was adopted, 268-151. [DPA Network: Vote NO]

House Vote 435 – S 45: Drug Addiction Treatment

Sponsored by Senator Levin (D-MI), S. 45 repealed a senseless regulation that made it difficult for doctors to
treat drug addiction. The bill lifted the 30-patient limit on group practices for treating people who struggle
with drug abuse with certain narcotic drugs, like buprenorphine, in a maintenance or detoxification-treatment
program. After passing the Senate, it unanimously passed the House. Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) was the
sponsor of the House version of the bill. The Drug Policy Alliance Network supported both the House and
Senate bills.
The amendment was adopted unanimously. [DPA Network: Vote YES]

Drug Policy Reform Bills in Congress
A number of good drug policy reform bills were introduced in 2005 that have not come up for a
vote. Four stand out:

™ H.R. 1184 – The RISE Act

Sponsored by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), this bill would repeal the section of the Higher
Education Act that prohibits people convicted of drug offenses from receiving student
financial assistance.

™ H.R. 2087 – States’ Rights to Medical Marijuana Act

Sponsored by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), this bill would reclassify marijuana as a Schedule
II drug, allowing states to enact medical marijuana laws without federal interference.

™ H.R. 2620 – No More Tulias: Drug Law Enforcement Evidentiary Standards

Improvement Act
Sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), this bill would prohibit states from using
federal Byrne grants to fund regional narcotics taskforces, unless they pass laws preventing
people from being convicted of drug offenses based solely on the uncorroborated allegations
of one undercover officer or informant.

™ H.R. 4213 – Elimination of Barriers for Katrina Victims Act

Sponsored by Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), this bill would temporarily suspend the application
of laws that deny certain federal benefits, entitlements and grants to victims of Hurricane
Katrina and Rita due to drug convictions.

Another good drug policy reform bill, the Steve McWilliams Truth in Trials Act (H.R. 4272),
was introduced late last year. Since few members have had time to cosponsor it yet, we have not
included it in this guide.

A complete list of Representatives who are cosponsoring one or more of the four bills can be found
on page 32. It should be noted that just because a Representative is not a cosponsor of a bill does
not mean that the Representative does not support the bill. It is possible that no one has asked the
Representative to cosponsor it yet.

Only two Representatives are sponsors or cosponsors of all four bills: Rep. John Conyers (D-MI)
and Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX). Rep. Jackson Lee also voted the right way on all six
amendments on the House floor, giving her a perfect score in both areas.

Seven Representatives are cosponsors of three of the drug policy reform bills: Rep. Carson (D-IN),
Rep. Green (D-TX), Rep. Hastings (D-FL), Rep. Lee (D-CA), Rep. Rangel (D-NY), Rep.
Schakowsky (D-IL), and Rep. Woolsey (D-CA).

Heroes in the House of Representatives
While there were many drug policy reform heroes in Congress in 2005, ten stand out:

The 2005 Champion

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-18th/TX)
Rep. Jackson Lee is the only member of Congress to vote the right way on all six floor amendments
and cosponsor all four important drug policy reform bills. She is the lead sponsor of the No More
Tulias Act (HR2620), which would reign in out-of-control regional narcotics taskforces and protect
civil rights.

The 2005 Heroes

Congressman John Conyers (D-14th/MI)
Next to Rep. Jackson Lee, Rep. Conyers is the only other member of Congress to be a cosponsor of
all four drug policy reform bills. He also voted the right way on four of the floor amendments
(missing a vote on one amendment and voting the wrong way on the amendment to increase
funding for the government’s anti-marijuana media campaign), scoring 67 percent. Along with Rep.
Scott, Rep. Conyers led the fight to remove mandatory minimums from numerous bills last year.

Congressman Sam Farr (D-17th/CA)

Rep. Farr was a cosponsor of the medical marijuana floor amendment. Overall, he voted the right
way on five of the amendments (he voted to increase funding to the anti-marijuana ad campaign).
He is also a cosponsor of the States’ Rights to Medical Marijuana Act (HR 2087) and the RISE Act
(HR 1184).

Congressman Jeff Flake (R-6th/AZ)

Rep. Flake voted the right way on five amendments (he voted against the racial profiling
amendment). He has yet to cosponsor an important drug policy reform bill but has been a champion
of fiscal responsibility on the House Judiciary Committee, arguing there should be fewer federal
crimes.

Congressman Barney Frank (D-14th/MA)

Rep. Frank is the lead sponsor of two important drug policy reform bills, the States’ Rights to
Medical Marijuana Act (HR 2087) and the RISE Act (HR 1184). He also voted the right way on five
of the floor amendments, scoring 83 percent (he voted against the amendment to cut funding to the
Andean Counterdrug Initiative).

Congressman Alcee Hastings (D-23rd/FL)

Rep. Hastings has not traditionally been viewed as a major drug policy reformer, but his record in
2005 is clear. He voted the right way on all six floor amendments. He is also a sponsor of three of
the reform bills.

5
Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-22nd/NY)
Rep. Hinchey was the lead sponsor of the medical marijuana floor amendment. He is also a
cosponsor of the States’ Rights to Medical Marijuana Act (HR 2087) and the RISE Act (HR 1184).
Overall, he voted the right way on four out of six of the floor amendments (he voted in favor of
increasing funding to both the Byrne grant program and the anti-marijuana ad campaign).

Congressman Ron Paul (R-14th/TX)

Rep. Paul voted the right way on all six floor amendments. He was a cosponsor of one of them (the
medical marijuana amendment). He is also a cosponsor of two important bills, the States’ Rights to
Medical Marijuana Act (HR 2087) and the Elimination of Barriers for Katrina Victims Act (HR
4213). Additionally, he is one of most outspoken critics of the federal war on drugs.

Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-46th/CA)

Rep. Rohrabacher was a lead sponsor of the medical marijuana floor amendment. Overall, he voted
the right way on five of the amendments, scoring 83 percent (he voted against the racial profiling
amendment). He is also a cosponsor of the States’ Right to Medical Marijuana Act (HR 2087).

Congressman Bobby Scott (D-3rd/VA)

Rep. Scott voted the right way on all six floor amendments. He is also the lead sponsor of the
Elimination of Barriers for Katrina Victims Act (HR 4213). Along with Rep. Conyers, he also led the
fight to remove mandatory minimums from numerous bills last year. He is also a cosponsor of the
RISE Act (HR 1184).

Honorable Mentions
The following eight Representatives deserve special recognition. They voted the right way on all six
amendments and are sponsors of least two reform bills.

ƒ Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-3rd/OR) (Blumenauer missed the vote on S. 45, but almost
certainly would have voted the right way on it).
ƒ Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-10th/OH)
ƒ Rep. John Olver (D-1st/MA)
ƒ Rep. James McGovern (D-3rd/MA)
ƒ Rep. George Miller (D-7th/CA)
ƒ Rep. Martin Olav Sabo (D-5th/MN)
ƒ Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-39th/CA)
ƒ Rep. John Tierney (D-6th/MA)
ƒ Rep. Diane Watson (D-33/CA)

The following six representatives voted the right way on five of the amendments and are cosponsors
of at least three pieces of drug policy reform legislation:

ƒ Rep. Julia Carson (D-7th/IN)

ƒ Rep. Al Green (D-9th/TX)
ƒ Rep. Barbara Lee (D-9th/CA)
ƒ Rep. Charles Rangel (D-15th/NY)
ƒ Rep. Janice Schakowsky (D-9th/IL)
ƒ Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-6th/CA)

The 2005 Badge of Shame
Congressman James Sensenbrenner (R-5th/WI) was unquestionably 2005’s biggest drug war villain.

As chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Sensenbrenner works to pass bad legislation
almost every year. But, in 2005 he introduced one of the most draconian and foolish drug war bills
ever introduced in congress – the Defending America’s Most Vulnerable Act (H.R. 1528).

Despite its name, HR 1528 would have actually incarcerated America’s most vulnerable. Among
other things his bill would have required Americans to report their loved ones to the police within
24 hours if they committed certain drug offenses; virtually eliminated the ability of federal judges to
give sentences below the minimum sentence recommended by federal sentencing guidelines
(essentially creating a mandatory minimum sentence for every federal offense); and established new
draconian penalties for a variety of low-level, nonviolent drug offenses.

Fortunately, the bill has stalled in Congress.

How Your Representative Voted

Interesting Highlights:
• Out of 435 U.S. Representatives, 33 voted the right way on all six amendments, earning a
perfect score.

• Seventy Representatives voted the right way on five of the amendments.

• No Representative voted the wrong way on all six amendments.

• Sixty-nine Representatives voted the wrong way on five amendments.

Vote Key:

+ Member’s yea/nay vote agrees with - Member’s yea/nay vote disagrees

the Alliance’s position with the Alliance’s position

(+) Member’s announced/paired (-) Member’s announced/paired

position agrees with the Alliance’s position disagrees with the Alliance’s
position position

X Member did not cast a yea/nay vote AL At-large, used for states without
or officially declare a position Congressional districts

The % Voted Right Way column is the percentage of time the Representative voted the right way,
based on votes on the five amendments. Missing a vote counts against the Representative. For instance,
someone who voted the right way on five amendments but missed a vote on the sixth amendment
would receive 83 percent.

The Agreed/Cast column is the number of times the Representative voted the right way compared
with the number of amendments they voted on.
