It's your idea, you start it, I will sign and promote, k?!

Are you referring to moi??? :D I hate politics.....I'm surprised something along those lines wasn't added to this initiative so it couldn't be tampered with. It would probably go over better with a presidential election after the legalization bill passes. :thumbsup:

I believe the legislature is the only one legally that can change that law. I believe it will take a constitutional amendment. james probably know more about that than I do.

Actually, as a Libertarian, you know that its the people who really have the power. They have just abdicated it to the legislature. Most constitutions of the states contain a clause that the people have the right to abolish any, ANY, government they find over bearing or far too dictatorial, by whatever means would be applicable. (I believe in most states, I know some that do have it. the commonwealths) Either by the ballot through elections, or as in Egypt, Wisconsin and soon coming to a town and city near you, by the show of bodies of the people. :twocents:

We've been treated to another, I guess one could only call it a joke, after the paper printed an endorsement to the terrible bill, and then this. My quote to this same news on another site. :D

Legalization is dead through the legislature in Washington the initiative is going to make it happen.

The editorial was for show: Monday was the deadline for policy bills to move out of their respective committees in the state Senate â?? and many didnâ??t make it. Among the measures that are effectively â??deadâ?� this session include Senate Bills 5598 (marijuana legalization) and 5111 (privatizing liquor sales). Seattle PI

Ya know, I never did, but now that you have linked it, it will be good to compare to one written by a commonwealth in the 1790's. I know PA's reads like the US Constitution with the 1st Amendment nearly identical giving the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the language. No mistaking that. :thumbsup:
