They need to legalize it now...at least for medical purposes

Think of all the young libertarians we could get on your side voting for us, we are already supportive of woman's rights and gay marriage so legalization of Marijuana is the next step. We would have young voters for democrat for the next 20 years! Not only that we will KILL OFF THE GREEN PARTY if we legalize it...no more vote stealing

Put the GOP on the hotseat! Force them in debates to explain that they are fiscal conservative party but want to maintain the expensive war on drugs and forcing taxpayers to pay thousands for drug and overcrowded prisons

Sometime in the 1980's LBJ's war against the poor was morphed into war against the poor, and
we have nothing to fear" was morphed into "we have everything to fear"...The war on drugs is another weapon that the GOP use to get the middle class fighting with the poor cause as long as white america continues to fear the hooded black man lurking in the shadows, the more fearful they can make americans, the more likely they are to win elections. Thats how the GOP wins elections...soley on FEAR! The private prison industry pays congressmen a lot of money to maintain their wealthy industry, if they could have every man woman and child in prison THEY WOULD...they want profit before people.


PLEASE DNC, Obama, Biden.....make legalization of marijuana on the party platform
