Oh Shit!!

It's not looking good. I hate to say we're fucked, but look at this propaganda:

Denver cops: Medical pot sale linked to homicide - The Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/ci_14125120)

I haven't read it yet, but the title says it all. (Edit: read it and it's even worse than I imagined... it's all fuckin'g speculation and it was at a fuckin' residence)

I also read about fucked up home invasion in Adams County north of Denver. Four masked gunmen invaded a home where two teenage girls were staying. The story didn't say anything about what went on inside, but a shootout with police ensued in the neighborhood as the gunmen were leaving. One officer was injured, one girl was shot in the ankle, and one was grazed by a bullet. Pretty fuckin' crazy!! This seems more newsworthy to me..... didn't even see that in the Denver Post... it was on cbs4 or something. Denver Post sucks!

Here's the link to the home invasion story:

Masked Gunmen Storm Home In Adams County - cbs4denver.com (http://cbs4denver.com/crime/shooting.manhunt.search.2.1405762.html)

This happened to be the headline as opposed to the Denver Post where I couldn't even find this story.

Propaganda indeed. The Post trying to inflame the public about the evils of marijuana, spinning the notion of what a bad idea it was to legalize medical marijuana.

We need some positive press...I had an opportunity to do that when a local television station on the western slope wanted to film the growing side of things, but alas, I was too paranoid thinking that despite their insistence that everything would be confidential, I felt that I could get put myself and family in harms way even though I was legal.

For sure. They got us where they want us...for now. Hope there will be a good turnout from the mmj community on Jan 11.

media is in cahoots with gov it has to be. they only print or show negative press as if they will get shut down. but then william randolph hearst and his newspapers were the start of propagand in the thirties. I guess it continued on till present day.

positive press would be norml sensible and all the organizations buying a super bowl ad and putting the truth out there. hell if everyone of us put money together and bought businesses as a group and kept at it we would become financial powerhouses like the ones that control our gov. we are after all close to half the worlds population. think of it, us in control.

they can pass all sorts of legislation, but both bills look like they have items in them that have already been ruled against by a judge (caregiver limits for example) and the legislature CANNOT legislate away an amendment to the state Constitution.

I'll say it again - go donate to Sensible Colorado or the Marijuana Policy Project. We have to support the ones doing the work that needs to get done.

And you are just discovering this today?? :(

Every major media outlet nationwide has been showing bias for well over 30 years(a few hung on a bit longer). Our only "real" news comes from internet sources and private mostly AM radio. To which our government has current bills to shut them up, block internet content and control ALL news outlets. This is NOT news, in the sence that it's been this way most of my life. What is fun to do is watch how differing stations with supposed differing views, still find ways to reinforce each other on the same topic for differing reasons.

Try to find ANYTHING in the last couple years in any major media outlets that portray Obama as bad. It can't be found!(other then a few questions about his heritage) Yet the facts are, other then changing the federal "War on drugs" policies. He hasn't changed ANYTHING. He's doing all the exact stuff we loved to hate Bush for(just with different names). For example we are no longer in the "War on terrorism" because it's now called the "Overseas contingency operations". And we are no longer in "Economic downturn", we are now in "Economic stablization". Yet both are the same people doing the same things for the same reasons IN THE SAME WAY! Just different names painted on the same old faces with a positive spin by the media. Then re-inforced by them saying the same things OVER AND OVER on every station and in every newspaper. :wtf:

The only thing that will stop these people from walking all over us is standing up to them in person. Be it rallys or protests(Best), Voting in polls(medium effect), Writing your representatives (also best), to donating to the cause through some group(good effect, not as good as being at a rally or protest in mass OR writing to your congress person or representative).

Point is our media is doing this because our government MAKES them do it. We no longer have reporters who investigate(like on TV). All they do is read what they are told to read and report what is put in front of them. THEN their bosses only job is to insure field reports are "acceptable" to the FCC and our governments agenda.

I'd put money on it, that if EVERY mmj patient was at the protest on the 11th. All the "news" would show would be the edges of the protest (fewer people then the huge crowd) and claim a small turnout from what was expected(Not exactly a lie). The only people state wide who'd know any better were the people AT the protest and the few hundred that happened to drive by it. :mad:

Unfortunately it becomes SO complex. Trying to convince our reps to do what we want! What we need to do is EVERYTHING we can do! Donate, protest AND write letters, Find and vote in polls as well. Make signage and hang it around town! ANYTHING you can think that might help. It's our best hope! :thumbsup:

P.S. Always add in every letter to your Rep,. " I will not vote for you if you vote other then how I want you to vote". This is the guy/gals biggest fear in politics!

What happened at the meeting on Mon? Or, is that a different thread?

discovered a long time ago just saying it here and now. only had to be tween to figure that out. its not really a secret they have the audacity to do things and then say they are not doing it when you are sitting there in plain view watching them do it.

meded so you can mededicate to mededitate
