Not only vote Denish, we also need to be talking to every young stoner/slacker/anyhoo who thinks they don't care about politics, and educate them about how to wield their influence in the world of politics. If we can get the (big) kids to get out and vote, we can get the right people to make these programs working oh-so-much better!

And thank goodness for that! LOL :dance:

Martinez makes it easier, in a way, when talking to the kids about getting out to vote. They understand "Denish = yes cannabis, Martinez = no cannabis" and you can almost see the light come on when they think about it for a minute and realize they can help be the difference. Having a program already in place - irregardless how well the system functions - is good motivation.

The system works fine and it's a great program if certain individuals would stop trying to sabotage it. Martinez is just bad all around. Her track record speaks for itself.

First off I'm still kind of in shock that Susanna won the primary. I also know without a doubt that had that pop star Palin not stood by her in Burque she wouldn't have.

I wish she would wake up and realize that the MCP was not an easy achievement and that it does have a genuine goal of helping New Mexicans.

I live in here in her district and if she can show so much "compassion" for double digit DWI/DUI offenders in the form of plea deals she has no excuse to not even open her mouth about a plant that is legal under our state law.

Over the years I have grown to like Susanna Martinez as a person and I am very disappointed and humbled by this article and her misplacement of understanding and fairness. She has a good heart but I for one will not excuse this kind of ignorance.

Diane will get my vote and also my support in the form of me passing on Martinez's position to those I know that may not know simply because they have become so utterly fed up and disgusted with politics overall.

Personally I was brought up mainly Republican,divorced parents,one Democrat and the other the aforementioned. I really wish people in our country cared more,payed attention and voted for the candidate that they really thought could get more done for US regardless of party. Isn't it cool to see that ole man Bush and Clinton have become,IMO,genuine friends?

Thought you guys might want to read about Martinez if you haven't seen this yet. Enjoy. I know I did.
