| It feels like the misguided nature of Americans is where the problem lies with the legalization of marijuana. I am not quite sure where America really stands on mmj because there is no real way of telling. I was sitting within a room of conservative christians and I posed the question of legalization and to my suprise all were in favor. Can it be that the government is prescribing their own doctrine of what is right and what is wrong based upon the assumption of what they BELIEVE their party wants? I believe so. I think that many many people care for mmj, BUT the government has indeed become an entity that doesnt regard the cares and wishes of the people that endorse it... I think that America is losing not only on mmj, but everything moral and right. As long as we look to our government to make the right decisions, as opposed to telling the government what IS right, the government will continue to speed along on auto-pilot and make sure that the real people with power continue to use their power for the wrong beliefs, ideas, and values. So where is our Martin Luther King? Where are the people to stand up to this power horse of a government and speak the truth. Well...as many people have noted, in todays age with ruling giant owned media giants clogging the artieries of our media it is almost impossible for our voices to be heard. Should this be suprising? no. But how do we do it? How do we tell a government that they are wrong, when they possibly only care about conservative puritan christians who believe that as long as a conservative is in office then they do not need to express their own opinion on matters such as mmj. Maybe people dont care, and enjoy knowing that their government is making their lives easier by taking away more and more rights. But I do not think that this is right. If this was the case then Americans would be less opposed to how W is running the country. I think the president in all his diabolical acts is beginning to see how Americans are not as elastic to the conservative government as he once thought. I do not see how us Americans have allowed Bush to continue his tyraid on the American people for as long as he has. We can now refer back to the media who I believe is responsible for putting a positive light on the conservative party for as long they have. It is beginning to change, you are beginning to see a rise in Americans who are saying, enough is enough. You can not destroy the values of Americans by making harmful laws and covering these laws up under the label of conservitive rulings. It just has to stop, and is beginning to stop. When did this country begin to suck? |

| It's not just about Marijuana my friends, its about truth, liberty, and the justice for all. My marijuana is not harming anyone but the pockets of my fellow Americans who have to support the police to walk around my neighborhood and make sure that I am not doing what I want to do. We have taken too many steps back. Please let us find a new way of dealing with a poor government and take back what our forfathers intended us to have. |

| Never forget which party made pot “illegal” in the first place... back in 1937, under FDR and a congress with complete Democrat domination… While not all Republican nominated justices voted for MM, 50% of them did. That’s a whole lot better than the 0% of Democrat nominated justices. We should also remember that ALL of the “conservative” justices were appointed through Democrat dominated Senates. The “eminent domain” decision also saw 67% of Republican nominated justices voting against while, once again, 0% of Democrat nominated justices were against it. Some folks just trust government more than others. Never forget that government is made up of PEOPLE that put their pants on one leg at a time, just like you and me. The so called two party system has evolved into a single party with two predominant factions. They keep each other around to have someone to blame for the BS. They only differ in HOW they’re going to screw us. The question of WHETHER they should screw us is NEVER open for discussion. The “Republicrat” party wants us to believe that a vote for a “third” party is a “wasted” vote… Both sides of the “Republicrat” party do, however, pay extraordinary attention to third party activities. Sometimes, incorporating portions of third party platforms in order to attract those votes. As a relatively neutral “third party”, myself, it’s always amazed me to see just how blinding the “two party distraction” really is. Having spent a life fighting state legislatures over issues like Home Schooling, Home Birthing, Immunization Choice, etc, etc… Democrats routinely fall over themselves to push restrictions on those issues through the political process. Yet, at midwifery conferences, the parking lots are ALWAYS stuffed full of Democrat supporting bumper stickers… go figure… Until we truly unplug from the “two party matrix” NOTHING will ever change… The Libertarian party DOES have Marijuana Legalization as part of its regular platform. They also believe in FREEDOM. They don’t, however, believe in “big brother”, so… |

| Get informed people, every bit of information you recieve except tiny bits of free lance people is Controled! all of it since the early 1900's. The biggest achievement of 20th century for propagandist is that people think there is none! Advertisements and P.R.. companies affect everyone everyday. You think you live in a democracy. Both parties are in on it! Capitalism, Communism, any govenrment has been controlled!!! The Federal Reserve is a private company!!! They get rich of destroying and rebuilding nations. You think you have a choice, no. Get Informed, the info is out there, get the truth about History....do a search for the 13 bloodlines of the Illuminati by Fritz somebody..... c.f.r., trilateral commsion, fema, all for one world government. infowars.com! A rare book called dope inc. is a quality book on drugs and who profits the most from them. There are a few other titles w/ Dope Inc. but i forget who the author is of the good one. |

| There must be something to the idea that marijuana induces paranoia.
