Schedule 1 Petition
    #19033871 - 10/26/13 12:49 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

This petition points out the hypocrisy that is Schedule 1. Please take a second to read and hop on board!

Enjoy. One love.

Your Online Petition Is Useless
Heather Horn  Aug 12, 2010
Back away from the keyboard. That online petition you're about to sign is "pretty much a sham." Says who? Clay Johnson at InfoVegan, for starters. Johnson is something of a Web organization specialist, having worked on developing the online strategy for both Howard Dean's and Barack Obama's presidential campaigns. "According to the Congressional Management Foundation," writes Johnson, "the House of Representatives got 99,053,399 messages via the Internet in 2004." Your petition really isn't going to get read; the reason organizations try so hard to get you to sign it is that "politicians and advocacy groups value your email address over your voice." In fact:

    It's the great lie of online organizing: that your voice to Congress or your voice to whomever can make a difference. It can, it should, but not through them. Nearly every organization in Washington is focused on one thing--inventing new and interesting ways to get your email address. And they want your email address so that they can ask you for money. The truth is: my.barackobama.com was and still is, the most sophisticated suite of tools designed primarily to capture your email address and ask you for money.

    Online organizers for political groups are trained to recognize "strategic moments"--to find events in the media and in the national narrative that they can use to their advantage. ... The most basic and common method for political organizations to get your email address is via a petition.


So what's a civic-minded person to do? "Skip the advocacy groups," advises Johnson. "If you have something to say to Congress, house.gov gives you a method as does senate.gov." Or, "if you have something to say to Google," or some other corporation, "contact them yourself."

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I'm using a petition as a private citizen. I can send it to Congress myself once I have the signatures I want, but it's easier to get a decision with support. You're allowed to opt out of other petition campaigns for the site.

Not a bad way of saying "yes I give a damn" but online petitions carry no weight.

Online petitions are usually used for fundraising more than anything. The telemarketers will call, ask for your consent to "electronicly sign" their petition and then ask for $200, too much, how about $50, well, at least $10, OK, I'll mail you the envelope to send your pledge and to make sure the Washington politicians hear our voice! LOLOLOL

Yeah, its just a scam. Marketers run it on people who have opinions all the time and it doesn't matter if they're lefties or righties.

Schedule 1 is mostly hallucinogens. The rest are a few strong stimulants and narcotics that are almost too dangerous to use safely. This leads me to believe what the DEA is trying to ban is the Experience, not the drugs themselves. Banning THC/cannabis is nothing other than stupid.

"Love one another." "To Love is to know me." "Love is the Law, Love under Will." "In Compassion, all sorrows end." Regardless of the Master, the message is the same- Choose love and you shall live, Choose Fear and you shall die. Help bring peace to this Earth: Love one another, and serve others before yourself.
