What we should do is make a website petition where anyone wanting legislation sign it and then mass mail that petition to every politician in their state including the president and indicate that no more votes will be placed for anyone who opposes legalization, and its time to start a new party that will listen to the real voice of the people.Makes me wonder what a new true political party could achieve with all of our help. I honestly believe we are the Majority, But no one has bothered to count us as we are too busy hiding from the current authories.

Im gonna go out on a limb here… When you put everything on the table you’ll see that marijuana can and does slow down death and violence. I would go so far as to say that marijuana can probably slow if not eventually cure terminal illness. With more funding and research, pot could probably prove to be a very safe and natural answer to allot of societies problems. The government doesn’t want to see any of this happen for one good reason- Population control. And ofcorse, money. Think real hard about it.. It just might make sense. With weed readily available at your local liquor store, more people would be buying pot then booze… Which means less alcohol inspired violence. Suddenly the cops don’t look like heroes anymore because they aren’t arresting people at a rapid rate. In my town all there is for cops to do is bust stoners.. Behind the scenes gangs thrive. Cops are oblivious. Our government believes violent criminals and all criminals alike are better off dead. They can only arrest so many people but they all secretly hope the “bad guys” will kill eachother off. More people getting high wouldn’t allow the violence to get to out of hand. The logical thing is to end the violence that prohibition causes ofcorse but I have news for you- Your government likes violence, and they make a hell of a profit off of it. Its quite sick. Take the dying cancer patient, just keeping that poor soul alive for another 365 days is quite an expense to your cold government. The government doesn’t like keeping the sick alive, its too expensive. Legalizing pot for the sick and dying would only slow down the progression of their death costing the feds more $$$. Now im gonna get really ballsy- I think if it were 110% up to our government and not our people.. The feds would line the sick and dying up, and kill them. Its simply survival of the fittest. Nothing more. As far as bringing in billions of dollars in revenue, its a defeated arguement. The government already has plenty of $$$. The economic failure is an illusion! We’re at a time when dis-trust in the government has never been higher. What better way to win back the people’s trust then to cleverly devise a controlled ruin of the economy? Then when things appear they couldn’t get any worse- In comes the US government to save the day!! Creating the next era of lies. DIG FOR THE TRUTH, WHAT YOU FIND WILL ASTOUND YOU. THIS GOES DEEPER THEN PROHIBITION. No campaign is gonna change their mind. There must be revolution! The people have already spoken. And we are being ignored. At this point we are no longer a democracy. If our founding fathers were still alive I believe they would rally the troops. There is no peaceful solution when fighting evil. If you want a compassionate USA, Then come men, lets take this country back!!!

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!It is time for our voices to be heard and that my friend is with the power of the vote! Now is the time that we must organize and become a force and let politicians know we are not taking it anymore. It is time now to start compling names of those who oppose Comprehensive Marijuana Reform and remove these jokers out of office. And folks it can be done but we cannot wait until 2010 or 2012 to start the time for action is now! This board alone can start generating ideas and action plans. We have one already on our list the gov of Minnosota who wants to be President and I say for all my brothers and sisters who rely on Marijuana just to get through the day because of terminal illness or mental sickness Hell to the Naw! Lets do this people!

How many of those Governors will get re-elected? I dare say NONE of them (well, maybe 1 since he’s a Dem).

We the people must vote for change. Work to that end, people. That is what our democracy is all about.

With a Democrat President and Democrat Congress, amazingly, prohibition gets blamed on a few Republican Governors.

Wake up and smell the hypocrisy.
