SHOULD MARIJUANA USE BE LEGAL? Currently, 13 states have laws on the books stating it’s not a crime to possess small amounts of marijuana. Internationally, other countries have similar legislation. A number of studies reveal legalization of pot does not necessarily lead to increased usage.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/28621704 here is the link. Let your opinion be known.

I get they feeling they wish it wasn't put to a vote.

As I have said 100 times before.

Let the people make the choice. Let it be just like alcohol, let each state choose how they want to handle it & leave them alone afterwards.

A Little Education Here!!!
 
                      Part 1 
                     Remember the election in 2006, when you wanted change? 
                      Almost two years ago: 
                     1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high; 
                     2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon
                     3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.                     

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen change alright: 
                     1) Consumer confidence plummet; 
                     2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.10 a gallon; 
                     3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase); 
                     4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses); 
                     5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; 
                     6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure. 
                     7) Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year. 
 
                     America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!  
                     Remember, it is Congress that makes the laws and spends our money, NOT the President.

                     He has to work with what's handed to him. 
 
 
                     Part 2: 
                     Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.

                      Here is the website to check it out for yourself!

                     Barack Obama promises to return to the higher tax rates if elected. It is amazing how many people who fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. 
 
                     If elected, Barack Obama has already promised that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts , and amazingly, a good portion of the people who fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen.

Play or pay, or pay some more. Wow what a choice.

When will enough be enough? This type of thing will only become worse if Obama is elected.
