Everything else that comes out of his mouth is going to be blah, blah, blah. He sticks to his speech, and he’s ok. He gets off his speech, you get no answers, just rambling. The man is unable of being clear, concise and to the point. Blah, blah, blah, blah.. no answers.
Oh, and btw, he won’t answer any questions about the Drug War and how it’s failing, about legalization of marijuana, about any of his program promises, including the transparency one.
Do I give a flying fuck about Obama? Nope. Will I vote for him again? Undecided. If I do, it’s only going to be because the other option is even worse.
“Welcome back to San Francisco Mr President” - City Supervisors prepare letter to Obama, asking him to leave their dispensaries alone! - SFBG article by Caitlin Donohue.
Response posted both below and online.
I’d like to acknowledge and applaud the supporters and the supervisor writers of this letter.
I believe that President Obama must be asked at every stop about his stance on marijuana. We have Mittens on tape, laughing away at a reporters question on medical marijuana in Colorado. It’s been the number one topic since he’s been in office and he continues to avoid addressing it and has backpedalled. If it’s left to the States and we in Colorado pass Amendment 64 (regulate as alcohol - over 21 can purchase without medical card & tax it = $$$$$ millions for state) which also allows for growth and sales of hemp, I’m sure the farmers that stand to make serious bank will want to be assured and reassured the Feds won’t come after them.
Why are some people refusing to see that the money brought into to the states could save them? What are people afraid of? Did you know, we have to import hemp? We can’t grow it here in the US.
President Obama should not get away with saying he was keeping his hands off the states and then sending the Justice Department in to close them down!
Add in the media spinning this November election into a very close one & in states where marijuana issues are on the ballot, neither candidate addressing our questions. Other states we need to band together and work together and get our answers. These are important questions!
Dear fellow Coloradans and all others who have already done the right thing and registered to vote and verify that all addresses and names are correct so you can vote,
Do not be fooled by this big Mittens is failing in the polls and on the news. It could very easily be a plot to get people who would vote for Obama to think, hmm, he’s got this in the bag, I don’t really like him so I’m not going to bother voting. Everyone else will vote and Obama will get reelected, so I don’t have to.
Oct. 9: Last day to register to vote or change your address on your current registration. Make sure your friends and family are all registered at their current location. If they are students and have permanent residency out of state, they can still register to vote in Colorado using their Colorado address and their social security number. When they vote, they can use their student ID as their voter ID. If you have a Colorado Driver’s license, you need to use it instead of your social security number to register to vote.
NOTICE: If you did not vote in the 2010 election, you are considered “inactive voter”,
That means you can still vote on election day or vote early, you can, but if you wish to vote by mail, you will need to request it again, even if you did so before. Request it this way:
I had to waste my vote on Obama because I don’t want mitts to win. Would I vote for him if that threat didn’t exist? No way in hell. I would vote for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party.
Did I get a call from the Dems asking me to please, please vote for Obama? Yup.
Did I tell them why I didn’t want to? Yup.
Their response, I know, I know but please still vote for him. We’ve heard ‘rumours’ that he will be better the next four years. Uh huh.. sure you have.
This country needs a different system.
I did not vote for anyone in the running in Boulder County, except for Jared Polis. I did not and will not support Rollie Heath. Here we have the state senator, a Democrat, who doesn’t vote the party line.
I did vote YES on 64 because I believe the war on drugs is a sham. We have spent so much money trying to stop marijuana over so many years. It’s time to try something new. It’s time to regulate marijuana like alcohol. Tax it. The money can go to the schools, we can create new jobs, we can show the US Government how out of touch they are. We can grow and sell hemp.
Blech. If mitts wins, I’m out of here and moving to Uruguay. They have beaches & marijuana.
