I know how to win the fight to legalize marijuana.

House Speaker Dennis Hastert will not support federal legislation to protect pot growers and smokers in states such as California, where medical marijuana is legal, a spokesman for the Republican leader said Thursday.

Focus on house leadership. Instead of spinning our wheels and money on all of these organizations lobbying all of these Senators and Representatives, find out which state and district Hastert is from, and support his competition in the next election, and campaign against him in his district. Even if he is re-elected, he'll think twice before summarily dismissing bills legalizing marijuana.

Focus on voting the Speaker of the House, the Majority and Minority leaders, and the leaders in the Senate out of office if they will not support the legalization of marijuana. Bills for marijuana legalization will go no where if the leadership will not support them.

Representatives come up for re-election every two years! If a Leader of the house fails to support legalization of marijuana bills, they know it will be like falling on their own sword because the pro-marijuana legalization movement will initiate a campaign against them in the their district in the very next election.

Mindsets in Congress will change overnight.

Which state and district does Hastert represent?

Which states and districts do the House Majority and Minority leaders represent. Do they support marijuana legalization?

What does everyone think and, who do we need to talk to initiate this plan?
