Hello all. Following very constructive advice from the head of policy, the drug policy reform motion is nearly ready for submission. If you are a rep for your local party or can arrange to be a rep before next Wednesday, please let me know if you want to support the motion's submission. You might also like to run the motion past your local party to get them to back it, or lobby an SAO you are active in to gain their backing. For those of you who blog or tweet, any supporting blogposts of tweets can help get the message out there and build support for the motion. The more people seen to be backing the motion, the greater the chance of it being debated at conference.

The campaign to gather support for motions for Federal and Scottish conferences was launched tonight on Lib Dem ACT http://act.libdems.org.uk/group/liberaldemocratsfordrugpolicyreform?xg_source=activity and the new LDDPR blog http://lddpr.blogspot.com/ Please get in touch if you wish to see these motions discussed at conference and do please spread the word to your friends within the Liberal Democrats who could also add their names as supporting voting reps. The target I'm hoping to reach is 50 voting reps for the Federal conference motion, which should be easily achievable if everyone on the mailing list and in the Lib Dem ACT group gets in contact. So do please get in touch and spread the word.

I have now drafted arguments for Women Liberal Democrats, Ethnic Minority Liberal Democrats, Green Lib Dems and MPs and PPCs that I hope might persuade them to support the motion. They can be found in the forums under the Building a Coalition heading.

I have drafted the drug legalisation motion for Liberal Democrat Spring conference. Please suggest amendments at the "The Policy Motion for Spring Conference" forum or by e-mailing me direct if you wish. I feel we need a motion text sooner rather than later so that we can firstly redraft the motion into one that we feel would be effective, and secondly to gather a coalition of organisations and individuals in support of the motion before submitting it to the Federal Conference Committee for consideration.

Last week the Transform Drug Policy Foundation launched their book: "After the War on Drugs: Blueprint for Regulation" at simultaneous events around the globe. At the launch at the House of Commons the book received high praise from Ms. Robin Gorna, (Executive Director, International AIDS Society), Professor Rod Morgan (former Chair, Youth Justice Board) and Dr Ben Goldacre (Guardian 'Bad Science' Columnist). Having attended the event and read the book, I can confirm that it will be a vital tool in guiding the transition to a strictly regulated legal market. It will reassure any reader that reform is the sober, rational course rather than a dangerous, radical, bringer of anarchy as some would characterise the argument.
