Lunatarium 4:20 Party April 20, 2002
|
The Lunatarium
To celebrate April 20, the Drug War Awareness Project held a benefit at the
Lunatarium in Brooklyn. Scott Jeffrey campaigned at the event with the
support of Manhattan LP chapter.
15 Years to Life
Artist Anthony Papa was convicted in 1985 under New York's draconian
Rockefeller drug laws. Although his first offense, Papa was sentenced to 15
years to life. Papa began painting to survive incarceration, which
eventually helped secure a grant of clemency by Governor Pataki in 1997.

Entertainment
Many performers and musicians donated their talents to help make the evening
a success. The top two pics are of Next Tribe
(www.nexttribemusic.com)
a fun, innovative band that rocked the crowd that night. And we're not just
saying that because they are strong supporters of the Jeffrey for Governor
campaign.
LP in the House
The Manhattan LP chapter was the only political party with an organized
presence at the event. Our "World's Smallest Political Quiz" was a
big hit and made us the center of interest throughout the evening. Many
attendees discovered their libertarian leanings and signed up for our
mailing list.
