Trump and the RNC on Tuesday announced new additions to the financial
operation, including New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, roofing company
owner Diane Hendricks and former Ambassador Mel Sembler, who helped
raise major money for previous presidential candidates.
About Mel Sembler's assault on freedom of medicine and diet, particularly Cannabis.

In 1976, Sembler and his wife Betty founded Straight, Inc.,
an adolescent drug treatment program which has treated more than 12,000
addicts. The group now operates as the Drug Free America Foundation.[18]
In May 1983, Straight, Inc was convicted of false imprisonment
after being sued by then 20-year-old Fred Collins Jr, who alleged he
had been held captive by the program against his will. The program was
ordered to pay $40,000 in compensatory and $180,000 in punitive damages.[19][20]
In 1990, a jury awarded Karen Norton $721,000 in damages due to
mistreatment by Straight. In 1982, while a patient in Straight's Florida
facility, Norton alleged that staff members assaulted her, and denied
her health care.[21]
It has been suggested that licensing for Straight's Florida-based
programs had been renewed under pressure from Sembler on state senators.[22]
Sembler's Drug Free America Foundation continues to campaign for hard-line drug policy. Former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida, the brother of President George W. Bush, Former Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Karen Tandy, and Congressman Dan Lungren of California are on the advisory board.[23]
