I don't know that bigger issues are not of concern to them. But Joe taking this action could get them excited & motivate some to get off their duffs & vote.

This is not a personal issue for me, other than that it is ridiculous to outlaw something that has a calming effect, while alcohol flows like water for some, with disasterous societal consequences.
