LETTER TO CONGRESSMAN CHAFFTZ RE: DEA OWNED STRIP CLUB ARRESTS

Dear Congressman Chafftz: I'm writing you about these articles about the DEA and strip clubs. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/dea-sex-parties-colombia-report-116413.html and then -  http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/dea-agents-illegally-ran-new-jersey-strip-club-prosecutors-article-1.2229169 I'd also like to introduce myself if I might.  My name is Jody Williams and I'm the founder of not only Sex Workers Anonymous, but the very modern day movement to have sex trafficking recognized so that victims may receive PROPER assistance.
