      I asked Sessions's staff for evidence Obama admin policy on mandatory minimum drug sentences was responsible for higher violent crime rate.

      I asked Sessions’s staff what evidence he has DARE worked — and why it should be given weight considering all evidence that it didn’t work.

          I don't care what anyone says, DARE was an awesome program. The problem was, in my area, it was only in Elementary schools. Not good enough.
