does that really matter now that Obama is headed for the white house and the courts are blocking inquiries into obamas past?

send me a letter and I can toss it in the trash and pretend it never came, show up at my door and it's harder to ignore you, show up with a thousand people in my front yard and I certainly cant blow you off as if you're unimportant
this battle against government takes on many facets, you need to contact your elected reps by every channel available, a simple phone call, a short letter, stop by his office but dont stop with a single person, you need to work it from the top tot he bottom, all the way to the city council in your town and then work back up that chain, you want them to remember that you're not going away, that it's because of you that they are in office today and it's because of you that they may not be in office tomorrow

a piece of paper called the constitution is why it's important, should we ignore one part in favor of another or demand that we have those rights enumerated by the constitution for all citizens, as it stands they're ignoring many of our rights yet you're willing to trade one right for another?
I'd rather have all my rights

The government doesn't give me rights, they take em away. As far as I'm concerned I was born with the right to do w/e I want, I just gotta deal with the consequences of my actions.
you believe that you'd gain rights by disposing of the constitution? I see just the opposite, call me crazy but...

the constitution is supposed to remind people it's their job to keep government in check, dispose of government and what's to stop me from building an army and setting up shop as the new El' Presedente for life
our job is to keep them in check, we've been slacking because we've allowed them to dangle a few carrots and distract us from what they're doing

doesnt that make you a part of the problem, taking on the defeatist attitude of 'my vote doesnt count so I wont vote', how many people say that at each election or decide to vote for the 'lesser of two evils' because they believe that one will win as opposed to voting their beliefs and actually effecting change

krypto2000 said: I totally agree, but the constitution loses more value as the days pass. I've completely given up hope in our govt. I believe it's just gotten too big at this point and it's lost control of itself.
again I cite our duties as citizens, in pushing to restore our freedoms to choose what we decide to consume whether it be an illicit substance or some questionable food product like raw milk we start reducing the size and scope of the federal government, without the war on drugs, what's the point in the DEA, they have more that 10,000 employees and a $3bn budget, losing them is a drop in a bucket compared to the 10,000,000 already out of work

There's nothing we can really do. We could slowly bring it around by reform after reform and maybe in 50-100 years we'll be back on track, but I think it's a far better idea to overthrow the current system and start over yet again.
this is the first step in a revolution, without the support of the people do you honestly believe that overthrowing the government is going to happen, people need to be made aware that government absolutely refuses to work on their behalf, the first step is always to redress your grievances, not to simply go out and act, act alone and you're a criminal, act as a nation and you make the change

It's like my computer. I keep doing shit with it, dling things, installing things, removing things etc. I try and keep it organized I run my antivirus (well not really :p), cleanup old files etc. but over time it just gets out of hand and it's easier to backup my important data and reformat.
that's a great analogy, it's not yet time to format, remember, you dont keep up with running your antivirus, you've not deleted all the useless programs or even emptied the recycle bin regularly, it's when you've done all these things and it still doesnt function properly that you have to reformat but you also need an idea of what you need to reinstall before that format

Geomancer said: Like others have said, Obama will not legalize any drugs, so people should focus their questions on decriminalization and medical use instead, and clealy ask the question "why or why not" so you might actually get an answer.
why play for the short term, dont screw around with peanuts, in decriminalizing it's going to still allow for thee war on drugs to continue, it will allow the government to continue prosecuting drug users, in decriminalization it's always some small amount that's deemed criminal possession whether it's one ounce or less, if we push for legalization and only get decriminalization then it's still a major victory

current standings, apparently no one considered the way it was answered the last time so they continue to ask for the yes/no answers
#29 Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it and create millions of new jobs.
#62 "Will you consider the legalization of marijuana both to provide revenue and alleviate the completely out of control prison population in this country?"
#104 "Will you ever consider the legalization of marijuana? It is already one of the largest cash crops in a number of states, and the #1 cash crop in some of them. If it were legal and taxed we would no longer be in such debt. It would be all gone."
#116 "Do you plan to continue the dismal failure known as "The War on Drugs", which is costing the nation billions each year with no positive outcomes?"
#128 Why not Industrial Hemp? Organic plastics, organic fabrics, organic construction material, and organic papers can be created here - instead of having to import from China, Mexico, Canada. Also, Industrial Hemp cannot be used as a drug. Why not?"
#208 "Will the Obama administration consider legalizing the multi-billion marijuana industry in order to create a whole new spectrum of wealth for the country, to pay foreign debts, and to stop making criminals of non-violent and innocent people?"
#220 "Would you consider putting a vote to the people, letting us choose whether we'd rather the government legalize and tax marijuana or increase our individual taxes to the degree necessary to make the same improvements in government spending and income?"
current votes on ours is 383
