RE: JP,
I completely agree.
I narrowed it down to just those PSA’s which
addressed Pres. Obama directly, though,
which was only 8 videos.
(However, there were a few videos, though not speaking to Mr. Obama directly,
DID succeed presenting the needed facts concisely, professionally).

In some way, Congress needs to get the idea put infront of them that by reforming marijuana laws, can help save and bring in large sums of money. By cutting back on the DEA's spending, By fewer arrests of these "criminals" that are taking up space and thousands of dollars in prisons the Gov. will be saving a great deal of money. The next helpful side to this, would be a form of marijuana produced and sold by the Gov. this is pretty much FREE for the Gov. to produce. Selling it can be close to a 100% profit since it is so easy to produce. Hell they could even make users apply for a permit that will bring in even more money, and they will be able to keep a record of who bought what, when, and how much of it. Its time for these laws to be reformed, and it couldnt couldnt be a more better time. This is not so much for the reform of marijuana but more so a possible solution to our economic problem.

They go to a Corporation and get $100,000 dollars to produce an anti marijuana ad. Then they spend $150 on the actual ad and pocket the $99,850. Believe me it does not cost more than a $150. to film a guy frying an egg, or a girl talking to her dog, or some kid taking off a t-shirt.

You won't find anything about medical marijuana there. One of the most key battles in the war on prohibition IS REINSTATING THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE for broadcasters. Go to change.org or wherever and demand the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE be reinstated. It won't be long before those public opinion sites start filtering out any mention of marijuana reform. Reinstating the fairness doctrine is altogether different. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_Doctrine to learn more. If the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE was reinstated tv and radio stations who air ONDCP and other drug war ads would be REQUIRED BY LAW to air oppossing viewpoints. EXAMPLE at the end of this article is a disclaimer that the winner of the NORML ad contest will be aired on local Cable IF NORML CAN FIND A STATION TO AGREE TO SHOW IT. Under the fairness doctrine a station would have 2 choices either show NORMLS AD or cease showing ONDCP ads. VERY IMPORTANT: Go to promise audit http://promises.nationaljournal.com/
