NEW! The Ecstasy Awareness Act would throw anyone in jail who “profits
monetarily from a rave or similar electronic dance event knowing or having reason to
know” that some people will use drugs. It could become law soon without your help.
NEW! The CLEAN-UP Act makes it a federal crime – punishable by up to nine years
in prison - to promote "any rave, dance, music, or other entertainment event, that
takes place under circumstances where the promoter knows or reasonably ought to
know that a controlled substance will be used or distributed." It could become law
soon without your help.
These proposed laws make criminals out of every concert promoter, nightclub owner,
and stadium or arena owner. The government is making unreasonable demands—
they can’ t even keep drugs out of their own prisons, yet they want to punish
business owners that can’ t keep drugs out of their events. Every musical style could
be affected by these laws, including rock, Hip-Hop, country, and electronic music.
Four Things You Can Do
1. Find out more about the attack on music and dancing at:
www.protectlivemusic.org.
2. Contact Congress. You can fax them for free at:
www.protectlivemusic.org/rave
3. Spread the word by distributing flyers at your events, sending action alerts to
your e-mail lists, and putting our banner ad on your website. (See “What You
Can Do” at www.protectlivemusic.org.)
4. Contribute to Drug Policy Alliance’ s campaign to stop these
bills. You can donate money at: http://www.protectlivemusic.org/donate/
For More Information Contact Bill Piper at 202-216-0035 or [email protected].

it's crap if it goes through but I wouldn't get too worried. don't forget that it will have to be proven that the promoter knew this was going on, and there's no way they can be held responsible for what an individual person does within their event. just another shock tactic by the govt. to stop us smiling for 9hours if you ask me

How is that excuse. Your government is totally ****ed in my opinion. The promoter has nothing to do with what the person who walks in the door with a bunch of "E" on him. It isnt like the promoter is selling the "E's" to the people to walk in with and then sell it to other people.
Screw that!
Another excuse and shitty way of getting @ people in the US
