I rated a lot of the top questions down in each category, especially the economic one, not because I have a narrow singular ideology, but because they are dumb questions.
It looks like there are a lot of people that are just looking at the front pages and rating them all up, burying all of the other questions under them.
As far as I can tell, the score for each question is a simple difference between ups and downs (meaning my question currently has a score of -2, assholes ).
I hope they answer more of the foreign policy questions than economic ones. Not only are they much better questions near the top, but it's actually the direct domain of the executive branch.

Well all we need to do is snail mail them to death like other people have.
Isn't Barney Frank the chairman or something? Could his bill actually be passed?
It's a hard fight to earn civil rights.
I used to be into legalization activism but I learned very fast that most heads are too lazy to fight for their rights or are so conditioned by society that they actually think they don't deserve them.

mail is nice but it allows them to send a lovely form letter instead of giving realtime answers, you dont want these people to get their people on it, you know, the ones that will cite all the propaganda, you want them in the public eye, you want it on the 6pm news and all over youtube, you want to let the rest of the US know their elected officials have no clue why they're voting against it other than it seems to be in the best interests of themselves or the large corporations
Most americans support the decriminalization or legalization of marijuana, over half the cops in the US are uninterested in enforcing the laws regarding the drug. The only way we'll convey this message is to do what was done in the 60's and 70's, and that's to gather our support, organize and show up to protest, let them know we do in fact want change but not the kind of change that's just more of the same
this is one of the few things barny frank has done that garners any sort of respect not just because it's a personal use bill that allows for more than an ounce but because it's a simple bill that gets to the point, it doesnt toss in tons of legalese riders or requests for additional funding for pet projects. it's what US legislation should look like
here's the full text of the bill http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-h5843/text
“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face” Barack Obama

I think if we stop pushing for federal laws and start asking Obama if he would support states rights for personal possession/ medical marijuana. I think it would put less pressure on him and he might consider it. It is a more gradual transition, which is what we need.

pressure on the executive and legislative branches is what we need, in 2004 obama said he opposed the war on drugs, it helped get him elected, he's done a 180 on the topic and has appointed a drug czar, laying off obama is the last thing you want to do, obama can veto any legislation that comes across his desk but he cant even sign the legislation into law if it doesnt make it through the house and senate... that's why the legislators need to be pressured
once federal laws are repealed then the states have the rights

allowing state laws to be legitimate would also require the dissolving of federal laws which outlaw the substance.

I'm not saying stop putting pressure on Obama, just put more pressure on your local and state reps as we have done in MI and the 12 other states where the majority supports it.

again, repealing the federal laws or passing a law that allows for personal use would allow the states to choose, it could then be brought up in a special referendum at the state level, until the the feds are free to prosecute even in the states that have decriminalized

I've stated this many times and I'll state it again...
Do not trust Obama He is a puppet who did and said anything to get elected, and it worked because we naively fell for his 'change' He runs with Joe Biden. Sponsor of the RAVE Act, which he sneakily and manipulatively tried to push onto congress hidden and tucked away into the Amber Alert Bill. Fortunately, due to activism by the ACLU, this didnt get far - THANK goodness. You really cant trust these guys, some shit is about to go down. I wouldnt touch that change.gov they probably log your IP or something
-------------------- But Jimi was feeling good - he'd shared some LSD with a friend, Herbert Worthington, who sat and watched him from the side: 'Jimi started singing "Spanish Castle Magic" and I was high, I was so happy, probably one of the happiest times of my life, being with an Angel [Jimi] and having a woman on each arm. I just went into an LSD laugh.' Jimi looked over to Herbert, realised that he too was peaking out on acid, tried to say something to Herbie, but it wouldn't come out. - Jimi Hendrix "Electric Gypsy"
