		<description>the so called drug war,or as I call it is really a war on citzens. Its all about making money by stealing from the public in the name of saving the children. our police and drug task forces are nothing but profit making organizations. they steal from people while saying they are winning a drug war. Its theft pure and simple. the cops are crooked and use the term drug war to take what you have. Its a form of communism and making war on americans. shame on our cops and government.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately Obama and the Democrats are continuing to wage a war on drugs. Contrary to the hopes of millions of Americans, Congress appropriated even more money towards this program!

Apparently Obama is doing like Clinton, and incarcerating more and more people for simple possession and consumption of the beneficial plant known as cannabis! Only time will tell. Hopefully this money is provided for counseling and treatment services and not enforcement of draconian and unjust laws!

		<description>GO RON PAUL!!!!  

965 billion dollars slips through the cracks in the system every year. Conveniently thats roughly how much is collected in Fed income taxes. Let US keep OUR money and stop telling us whats best for US. The Gov only has the power that WE grant it so lets not ask their permission lets tell them how things are gonna be and if they don&#039;t like it....tough shit.</description>

		<description>How can the government spend tax payer dollars to promote controversial political opinions. Isn&#039;t that coerced speech? It wouldn&#039;t be legal if a law was passed requiring people to tithe to religions they don&#039;t agree with so how can this be legal. Someone needs to challenge this. They want to have nonpolitical speech such as speech generally about marijuana that doesn&#039;t openly advocate either a pro- or anti- legalization standpoint, fine but funding one side of a political issue with our tax dollars definitely crosses the line.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s all about making noise, showing them that we do have power, and tightening whatever can around their necks until they submit.  Let there be no misgivings - this is a War.  The DEA, the US government wants a war, and I say we give it to them.  We as a people have to become much more active than we have been, but we can fight them off and restore our liberties.  Anyone in North Carolina interested in Grassroots efforts, email me through my blog.  Http://theundercoverconservative.wordpress.com</description>

		<description>Law enforcement is driven by money. Marijuana is a great source of money for the police. Not only do they get to seize assets they also can fill the prison system with cash cows (Marijuana Users). Because of this absurd corruption I hope Obama gets voted in.</description>

		<description>A budget cut would either 1) Make police stop focusing as much on the drug war OR 2) Make police more dependant on asset seizure, thereby escalating the drug war</description>
