And who exactly is weed friendly? Aiona? I don't think so. Ambercrombie? Think again.
It's all smoke and mirrors. The politicians are puppets. Y'all should know this by now.
They can think differently on all the issues they want, it ain't gonna mean a thing. Wasn't Obama supposed to be 420 friendly? So.... What happened?
they just puppets playing the role and dividing the people 'cause people are easier to conquer and control when divided.
You want real change? Then it's time to rebel.
it's easy to take this stand "Dr", but is it truly the one the cannabis movement needs right now? The westcoast is experiencing a major "pushback" against Prop 19, and the medical cannabis industry. If religious right wingers win a lot of senate seats in the elections across America,...watch out! Already there is a major pushback against medical cannabis on the west coast, never mind Prop 19. Listen, nothing, and I mean nothing is set in stone with regards to medical cannabis laws. Another words, if plenty of right wingers gain senate seats, especially in state senate races. They will try to reppeal cannabis laws. So saying that both parties are the same is just plain foolish ,and extremely apathetic to the cannabis cause. Dr., I took the very same stance as you. But I re-registered to vote for the past presidential election for Obama, and of course our 'Peaceful Sky Intiative', here in Puna. I decided it was time to,...'Rock da Vote'.
These two parties are not the same my friend. You will not find one GOP memebers name on any cannabis bills or initiatives across America. Why? because the two parties are not the same! Why do you think there are programs like Food Stamps, Welfare, Unemployment Insurance, etc., etc.... These Entitlements were created by the DEMS, for people that are "Broke Dicks". like myself during hard times. You don't hear the Democrats talking about cutting back unemployment. Nor do you hear them talking about sending jobs overseas. I can go on and on Dr., but I dion't want to bore you.
As of Sept. 29 poll about Obama's approval ratings:
48% approve
46% disapprove
As of yesterday his approval ratings have changed once again.
54% approve
40% disapprove
So why is Obama gaining popularity again? One, he's out on the campaign trail for many Dems. Which is a risky move by a President Obama, but one he felt he needed to do. He wants to help support the senators who helped him with his 'Health Care Bill' & the 'Stimulus Package'. So what he's doing is somewhat risky behavior on his part.
Obama's popularity in part is returning because Americans on a whole don't like cheaters, or cheats. So what was shaping up to be a mid-term slaughter for the Dems,...is magically turning around. America was watching to see who what was going on. Millions upon millions of foreign dollars was being funneled into the GOP Party to sway the Mid-term election. So why all this foreign money being spent or donated to an election here? To gurantee that the GOP wins the elections,why? Because the GOP is into "out sorcing" it's jobs to foreign companies so labor cost are almost ,...zip? People, we have all but eliminated the middle class.
Best thing that ever happened to Dems this year. THe GOP held their primairies,and guess what? Half of their candidates are straight up nutcases! Religious Right, dressed up and re-named themselves "Tea Baggers"(Gotta love that name! Everytime I hear it, I think about my nuts laying across the face of Dickless Cheney). Between their candidates, and this funneling of foreign money thru of all places the Chamber of Commerance. No, as a matter of fact, no fucking way are these parties evern remotely the same.
We have medical cannabis now because of Dems, we got no support from the GOP. The GOP is only about $$$$$, and that's it!!!!
With regards to our local elections. We need to support people who back our cannabis agenda. I know a lot of you are a lot younger than me so let me try to explain the medical cannabis part, and I'll keep it short & sweet. Our state has medical cannabis because of one individual then Gov. Ben Cayetano. and with the help of his friend and late hour smoking partner Neil Abrecombie. No, I don't see Neil causing us problems. If anything, he's an asset!
On the national level,sure I'm disappointed with the direction Obama Admin. is taking. Were these all campaign promises broken by Obama? I don't think so. But the reality of it all. As important as cannabis is to us. It hasn't reached that point in the White House,yet. I don't think Obama has totally turned his back on our community. But as important to us as it is. I don't will address medical cannabis, or Rec cannabis during first term. If re-elected, I'd fully expect a lame duck pres. to totally support med. cannabis. So lets wait and see?
