Gabrielle Giffords, who isn't up for re-election for another 16 months.

Ad campaign reveals horrors of 'devil's drug'The campaign, called the Arizona Meth Project, is a collaborative effort among 10 counties to saturate the media with startling anti-meth messages that authorities hope will convince teens not to try the drug - "not even once."Permalink [Filed under: Ads, City County Local Govt, Crime, Drugs, State]"I think it could have an impact. This is more honest and more effective. Instead of just saying 'don't,' it shows what will happen," said 14-year-old Daniel Williams, who was one of 28 Scottsdale middle-school students allowed to preview the ads Tuesday.
The graphic ads got their start as part of the Montana Meth Project, an in-your-face campaign launched two years ago. Organizers in Montana say the media and educational blitz has dramatically reduced meth-related crime and changed attitudes.
