		<description>It&#039;s often easy to forget Obama is a political figure in a dirty political game... he has to fight through an immense amount of **** in order to decriminalize marijuana - it won&#039;t be easy for him. OUR DRUG LAW MUST BE REFORMED!</description>

		<description>My submission:

``Were it not for the nefarious President Nixon , this site would not now be so besieged with calls for marijuana policy reform. Have you considered implementing the recommendations of his very own Shafer Commission and allow 10th Amendment to prevail?&#039;&#039;


Submitted via &quot;Share Vision&quot; screen:

`` End the legacy of the NEFARIOUS President Richard M Nixon;

=======================
         END THE WAR ON DRUGS
=======================

MARIJUANA, in particular.

No need for any more costly studies by the gov&#039;t -- they&#039;ve already been done. It&#039;s just that they were cast aside because they did not conform with political agendas. Just google keywords &quot;Shafer Commission&quot; to find out more.

Our incoming president can save BILLIONS of [BORROWED, mind you] dollars and redirect law-enforcement priorities to more beneficial and effective areas by simply implementing the recommendations of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse. 37 years late is better than never.

Thank you.&#039;&#039;

====P.S.====

We need to keep reminding ourselves that the CSA and War On Drugs? were the offsp?ring of Richard (&quot;I&quot;) M (&quot;not a crook&quot;?)? Nixon? &amp; Company [?note:? if he wasn&#039;?t a crook? then why did he need a blanket pardo?n from his succe?ssor Geral?d Ford and why did nearl?y ALL of his inner? circl?e end up going? to priso?n??]? Even his very own Shafer Commission recommended marijuana policy reform but he disregarded its findings because Cannabis was popular with blacks, hippies, anti-war activists, Jewish psychiatrists and others this paranoid megalomaniac considered to be political enemies.

So there? you have it, a small? group? of REAL CRIMI?NALS who contr?olled? the US Gov&#039;?t makin?g criminals out of the &quot;?littl?e peopl?e&quot;? who just want to live their lives? in peace? and seek respi?te from pain or relax? from the drudg?ery of life with a NATUR?AL,? eco-?frien?dly HERB.?

		<description>We have hope for an Honest Government ! That ideas and Facts will be real and not just based on what the highest bidder wants to be fact. That trampling our &quot;lesser&quot; citizens to fill certain pockets with wealth by lies and greed will stop! That ruining our great planet with petroleum products and chemicals only because of bias studies and greed will come to an end! That thousands of Law Enforcement and Border Guards can stop losing their lives over lies and greed! That thousands of Innocent-Honest-Hard Working Americans won&#039;t have their Lives and Families ruined by unfair laws funded by lies and greed! That America will be what our Founding Fathers intended it to be, FREE! That our Economy can Flourish with Savings from our bias War on  our own people if it were to stop! That Millions of Jobs can be created and sick could have natural relief! That we can end our current failed wars on our people and stop the injustice! That prohibition on our rights will end! That prohibition will end!  I know we can do it! YES WE CAN!!! We can be back to an America that&#039;s government is OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people and not OVER the people! YES WE CAN!!!</description>

legalize_the_medicinal_and_recreational_use_of_marijuana


first of all who is 

 Jose Torres (Unemployed / Disabled / Activist / Supporter), Newark, NJ Nov 07 @ 09:25AM PST

 and why does his web page list him as doing NOTHING FOR THE MOVEMENT?


he&#039;s never written any letters to the editor?


CMON!

 I just sent him this message-




I have written and had published thousands of letters to the editor about the legalization of marijuana and ending the war on drugs  and I&#039;ve never seen a single letter writen by you.


what&#039;s up with that?

how did your name and picture show up on this web page?

 you are not even a member of any activist organizations? how is that?


here is my page on their site- they spoofed me too.

Long paragraphs all in capital letters are very hard to read, but I get it your mad as hell and your not gonna take it any more. I&#039;m with ya but I won&#039;t be in April I&#039;m on house arrest.
