Topics: Barack Obama, Change.gov
Patrick, your point is well-taken. Economic realities may force a lot of these cats to start herding a little better.
There are 15 million regular smokers in the US.
The fact that we can’t rally just ten thousand of us to get online and vote this question into
first place shows why marijuana’s still not legalized.
..as a group do we even have the political will to fight for this issue?
The ‘Reform’ appeals are falling back due to hundreds of votes ‘against’ those questions.
Too many of these votes to be coincidence, who is behind this plot?
Son of a bitch.
Russ is there any word of the pro cannabis lobbies speaking as one, just as Norm Kent has advocated?
“Correspondingly, it is also time for the national drug reform organizations to speak with a singular voice and work together for a common purpose. There needs to be a unity of purpose, and leaders from the Marijuana Policy Project, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, the Drug Policy Alliance, Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, and a host of other respected reform organizations, too many to mention here, should hold their own meeting to develop a common theme with a collective initiative. We need to work together to send a message that is enlightened and progressive, convincing legislators and the executive branch that we are responsible and right.”

Nope, not paranoid. When I posted this, the LGBT question was ahead of cannabis. When you went to bed, cannabis was ahead of LGBT. In the intervening time, Democrats.org, a HUGE mailing list, put the word out to their people to vote for the special prosecutor question.
This seems somewhat fishy to me…
When I went to bed last night, cannabis had a nicely cushioned lead over the gay/lesbian/transgender question. Now this special prosecutor issue has flown to the front, with a lead of almost 4,000 votes.
Not to be paranoid, but does this seem right to anyone?
