Default Educating Congressman David Scott (D-Ga) about Medical Marijuana & H.R. 5842

Here's something I did recently. I'm going to mail a hard copy to his main office.
Quote:
I recently sent some e-mail to David Scott (D-Ga) about Barney Frank's H.R. 5842 and just got this reply back from him.

I am unsure if he will actually see this reply to it, or if he has any real time to "waste" on such an "unimportant and trivial topic which there isn't any time for right now and will detract from real issues and might possibly cause the Democrats to lose every election for the rest of our lives.

Or some other such usual histrionic nonsense I have to listen to when I bring this topic up.

But I do it anyway. That's activism

Dear Doc :
Quote:
Thank you for contacting me regarding the use of medicinal marijuana. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you on this issue.
Mr. Scott -
I am sorry to hear that you, a powerful US Congressman, are still filled with propaganda nonsense where real knowledge about cannabis and medical marijuana should be. It's a serious concern.

Your disheartening reply tells me you still fully believe and use the facade of your office to perpetuate demonstrably untrue statements about this issue. I have to assume you truly believe what you have signed your name to.

As a Democrat here in the 21st Century, you really need to know better.

We have been to the moon. We have developed all manner of technologies that border on magical, but because of actions and "government people" - even those mean really well - Americans remain in the early 20th century when it comes to understanding the cannabis plant. They believe all manner of arcane and easily debunked nonsense.

I have felt the need to take your letter apart and to highlight how little you know about this as well as to highlight how you are aiding and abetting the Republican party by repeating their anti-cannabis rhetoric and framing of the issue.
The rest is here. I did not wish to re-format for bbcode.

The link is to the Smirking Chimp posting and the Chimp has had serious server issues lately so loading can be outrageously slow.

I also posted it at Daily Kos, probably too early in the morning and it got little notice. (Of course they are still wallowing in all the Democratic Primary crap and wouldn't notice the Sun going nova at this point. Ugh.)

I have also posted it to BUZZFLASH if anybody who reads this has a BUZZFLASH account and would feel like buzzing it quickly.
