        <p>Three out of four Americans participating in a recent survey (<a href="http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.cfm?ID=1568" target="_blank">see article</a>) believe the War on Drugs is a failure. However, it is not politically acceptable to have a public debate on Drug Policy (<a href="http://newspapertree.com/news/3322-with-a-tie-city-council-fails-to-override-mayoral-veto-of-juarez-drug-war-resolution" target="_blank">see article</a>).</p>

<p>Drug Prohibition provides a financial motive for dealers to sell drugs to our children. If we want to put a stop to the <a href="http://crackonomics.com/index.php/site/drugProhibition/unintended_consequences_of_drug_prohibition/" >unintended consequences</a> of Drug Prohibition, we need to get involved and send a message to our politicians that we want them to develop new approaches to solving drug abuse.</p>

<p>To create awareness of the unintended consequences of Drug Prohibition, Crackonomics is holding a short film contest with a $10,000 first prize and a music video contest with a prize of $5,000. To obtain more details, see the Contest section.</p>

<p>Lets get our politicians working for us to make our society a better place to live.</p>

<p>Check out the <a href="http://crackonomics.com/index.php/site/action/">Action</a> section to see how you can get involved.
