it says on the site that it will be closed and questions answered in the new year
I assume that means we have until midnight new years eve, that's plenty of time to push the issue

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

Hopefully the extra pressure of marijuana questions being successful twice will cause them to give a more thorough answer.

hamandcheese said: If you really want the laws changed hand write letter to your congressmen, state government etc. I know you all think that Obama should respond to the questions asked and voted for, on this site, he will change very little if at all the federal government's stance on this issue. and the website doesn't represent the general populace, it represents a specific demographic. you have a much better chance of "having your voice heard" writing a thoughtful handwritten letter to a state rep than you do voting on a website. sure it may take a bit more effort but if this is an issue you truly care about then you should put forth that extra effort.
Hear Hear. I doth concur with this guy.

Yeah i think it will happen whether they like it or not. I can't remember if the question were categorized like this last time. Because it is relegating most of the marijuana questions in to "additional issues" which happens to be at the bottom of the list. Making it less publicized.

Yep, i don't think its a coincidence. Catagories also makes it so we can't have such a clear cut victory. It will be marijuana was the most popular additional issue rather than all round most popular question.

Theyre probably expecting marijuana legalization to be a prime issue again, lets hope they feel nice enough to give a thorough answer.
oh and,

everybody just needs to vote for one common good question, theres to many random shitty yes or no drug questions which makes it confusing. We gota pool our resources and bump up one good one.

vote several good questions.... one that originated from GrassCity that certainly deserves a vote, like us, there's several threads, I've been encouraging people on a few boards not to vote for the poorly phrased questions
"Without a one line stock answer, why won't President Elect Obama, just as Roosevelt had done with Beer in the 1930s, legalize, tax, and regulate the use of Cannabis among responsible adults while creating thousands of jobs to stimulate our economy?"

Hahaha, under "other issues" the top like...15 questions are pissed off about his marijuana response.
Even if he's still firm on his "NO." this is obviously showing theres a huge number of people that are for the decriminalization, if not legalization of marijuana.
Fuck everything else, I just wanna be able to smoke a blunt in my lawn without getting arrested.

Right now, there's only 20,000 people that voted on this thing. That hardly means much at all. That's that .0001% of America.
It's mainly because ignorant, old, and religious (oh, I already said ignorant, sorry) people don't use the internet. If only we could figure out a way those people couldn't use america then this place might start looking up.

Well obviously it means something to them or they wouldn't have the site. I realize its not that much of the population but of the internet voting population its the biggest issue at the moment.
