  "Why won't you support the federal legalization of marijuana, which would increase tax revenue, reduce social harm, and create new jobs by regulating an industry that already exists in the US, even amidst our current prohibitionist policy?"

"Apparently, the arrest of nearly 1,000,000 otherwise law abiding citizens each year for mere possession of cannabis, the relentless persecution of the sick and dying, and the continued incarceration of 1 out of every 100 adults, (and the imprisonment, jailing, probation or parole of  1 out of every 31 adults) is finally getting on peoples nerves.

Yes, these questions will not go away. Lawmakers around the country will have to suck it up and realize that, as Barney Frank put it: this is an area where the public is way ahead of the politicians."

Thanks for taking just a minute to help evoke positive change!

because is a .
bush is getting banned, so they created a new puppet to troll our govt

i'm sorry i keep naysaying in these threads, but he WILL NOT do anything that will upset the status quo, at least in regard to the medical-industrial and military-industrial complexes.

see sig.

but good luck all in your campaign for change. hopefully he will listen to this grassroots movement, but i have a feeling that the will of the people will be ignored by our ruling class just as it was overwhelmingly against the bailout.

the problem is not in the executive branch, though it is easy to cast blame on the one person with the most concentrated power. the problem really is with congress. if you do not contact your elected reps, they will not represent u. and if you're in a minority constituency, like myself (being a libertarian republican), you don't get represented for shit. but i contact my reps a lot. so i get to bitch if they fuck up cuz i keep tellin them "i told you so!"

so keep posting on the internet to obama that u want weed legal, in the meantime, i'm smokin fat greens thanks to prop 215

it seems they're censoring our marijuana questions.  The top mj question has 6,600 votes yet is not on the top 10....  They're about to get a very angry email from me.

It's still like that now. We are just going to have to keep getting our people to do their job even without the publicity of being on the front page.

I too emailed them asking why they were filtering questions

I emailed the associated press and norml and asked them why he was doing that
