I can tell you what he is going to talk about:

1) why he should be reelected

2) why he should be reelected

3) why he needs your help getting reelected

4) how to get him reelected

5) why he should be reelected

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.

Newsflash - Governor Hickenlooper has called an emergency special session to vote on civil unions AND SB-117. Please contact your representatives and urge them to vote against this bill. 

Here’s a great NORML page with how to do so. Go you, go!

How did your Colorado Senator vote for SB-117?

My State Senator, Rollie Heath, who is up for reelection, voted for this bill. I have contacted him and contacted him to get his reasoning on why he would vote this way, pointed out to him that I vote and as his constituent, would like it if he voted against this bill.

No response. Why is that Senator?

I’m calling on all those in District 18 which includes all of the city of Boulder, CO, Gunbarrel, Niwot, Hygiene and unincorporated Boulder County to contact Senator Heath and politely request he vote against this bill. May I also remind those of you in Nederland, Ward, Jamestown, etc, that District 18 is being redrawn and if Rollie Heath gets reelected, he’s going to be representing you! 

How can a state senator who is a big education backer be against Medical Marijuana or Marijuana at all when the money earned through taxing it will be such a win for the state. Amendment 64, which you can vote for this November 6, 2012, proposes to give the first $40 million of revenue from the taxes collect PER YEAR to the Public School Capital Construction Assistance Fund. That’s $40,000,000 per year. 

Here is the bill and how Colorado State Senators voted. If you follow the link at the bottom, you will also be able to see how the House of Representatives voted as well.

SB12-117 by Senator(s) King S.; also Representative(s) Waller—Concerning the penalties for persons who drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and, in connection therewith, making an appropriation.
