Yes On 19 Campaign Releases TV Advertisement
Former San Jose Police Chief Says Marijuana Initiative Will Improve Public Safety
Law Enforcement Supporters to Hold Teleconference for Reporters on Tuesday
OAKLAND, CA -- The campaign to pass Proposition 19, the California ballot measure to control and tax marijuana, released a television ad today featuring former San Jose police chief Joseph McNamara, who makes a strong public safety case for ending the current prohibition laws.
The ad can be viewed online at http://www.YesOn19.com/ad
"Let's be honest: The war against marijuana has failed," Chief McNamara says in the ad. "I know from 35 years in law enforcement. Today, it's easier for a teenager to buy pot than beer. Proposition 19 will tax and control marijuana just like alcohol. It will generate billions of dollars for local communities, allow police to focus on violent crimes, and put drug cartels out of business. Join me and many others in law enforcement. Vote YES on Proposition 19!"
McNamara, who served as San Jose's chief of police for 15 years, is now a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. He previously served as chief of police in Kansas City and as a beat officer in New York City
McNamara is just one of the many veteran law enforcers who have endorsed Prop. 19. A letter signed by dozens of police officers, judges and prosecutors who support ending prohibition can be read at: http://www.YesOn19.com/endorse/enforcement/text
Several of those law enforcers will be available on a telephone press conference call Tuesday at 11:00 AM PDT. Reporters who would like the call-in info should contact Amber Langston at (573) 239-8149 or amber@YesOn19.com.
