Baca sponsors gang prevention legislation
Congressman Joe Baca (D-Rialto) reintroduced legislation today pushing for a special-rate postage stamp that would help fund gang prevention education.
Proceeds from the sale of the special-rate stamp would fund the Gang Resistance Education and Training (GREAT) Program. The Stamp out Gang Violence Act allows consumers who wish to contribute to anti-gang programs to purchase the new stamp, which can be used for first-class mail.
"It is essential we continue to work to provide our schools and communities with the assistance neccessary to keep more kids out of gangs, and get more crime off the streets," Baca said in a news release.
Baca first introduced the Stamp out Gang Violence Act in February 2007.
