15. Don't be stupid Obama and go against the will of the people

Dec 2012

Besides, the whole notion of the controlled substance act being supported by the constitution is full of shit. The interstate commerce clause doesn't give jurisdiction to intrastate commerce. The constitution isn't written in any way other than "interstate commerce". Its not written as commerce, all commerce or any commerce which affects interstate commerce. It ONLY specifically says "interstate commerce". Period!

So don't be stupid Obama and go off supporting big pharma and private for profit prisons on this issue because inevitably you will jeopardize Democrats coming up behind you from losing elections because of this issue. Because IMO this issue isn't going away. On the contrary its becoming as big an issue as abortion and LGBT is.

I for one pledge not to vote for any politician (regardless who they are) who not only goes against the will of the people, but against any politician who disrespects the human right of autonomy over one's own body and mind. HOW FUCKING DARE ANYONE VIOLATE A MOST BASIC HUMAN RIGHT! To do so is an act of a Nazi and thus that person becomes politically invisible to me.
