If you like pot, go vote Democrat!

Even if your state doesn't specifically have anything to vote on that pertains to ending marijuana prohibition, or allowing medical use of marijuana, it's still important to go vote and vote Democrat. Pelosi is at least a proponent of medical marijuana, and she represents the San Francisco area. She becomes speaker if the Democrats take a majority, and better her than Hastert (or really, any other Republican, as they're all pretty much in lockstep with each other on this issue).

Go vote, and vote liberal! It's important! Time to toss all these old backwards-thinking prohibitionist warmongering big-business-loving rich-bitch slobs out of office and take this country back for the people!

(This message has been endorsed by the Stoned People of America Alliance. Proudly toking where no one has toked before. Maybe. Well, I don't remember if anyone has toked there before, actually...where's my pipe? What are we talking about again?)

Vote for those who inspire you. Vote for love and the spreaders of it.

Look at their faces and weed out the shysters.

ummm...

The democratic party supports the war on drugs too. Don't fool yourself.

Hmmm... douche... turd sandwich... douche... turd sandwich...

...maybe I'll just vote green party. :|

Couldn't agree more my friend.

Lesser of two evils. I know we aren't going to get everything we want, but if we elect the same people we've had the past few years, well, we deserve what we get. Having the speaker of the house be a proponent of medical cannabis use is at the very least a start, and a big improvement over what we've got now. The 'war on drugs' has a mountain of momentum, which we will have to chip away at, but all journeys begin with the first step.

DON'T FORGET! It costs $20 to vote so if you don't have 20 bucks, you might as well not vote. Thank you for playing.

good heads up:thumbsup:
fuck feeding the two headed monster. vote green party;)

Like a vote even matters in this country. You are kidding right? Bush is the friggin president and lost the election.
The only people that are going to stay in power are the people that have the money to buy the office. The Republicans have money and the Democrats don't. So you might as well get used to living in a facsist state because nothing is going to change but the date.

If you don't vote, things will definately stay the same- bad. If you vote, there's a chance the election isn't fixed and your vote will count and change will be possible. However, if the republicans win this time around, there's always revolution.

democrats republicans they all the same to me they suck. vote independent!

VOTE Libertarian :dance: ... you will NOT be throwing your vote away, as some would suggest ... during political strategy sessions, they look at the numbers of people that vote in the alternate-parties (I know, I've been in those rooms when it was done) ... if you are 'down' a couple percentages in the polls, and you see that some Libertarian candidate is getting 10% of the votes, you will kiss his supporters' asses, to get that 10% back ... it will take a long time, but eventually, we will be able to place enough Libertarian candidates into office, that will make a difference ... it starts at the root-level, so be sure to vote Libertarian in your local offices, too (schoolboards, town councils, etc.) ... :smokin:

EXACTLY the reason you would NOT want to vote Democratic, (they want to take the guns away from the citizens) ... no, I'm not a 'gun nut', but the founding fathers deliberately placed the Second Amendment (Right to Bear Arms), into the Constitution, NOT to form a militia to protect us from foreign invasion, BUT, to keep the citizens ABLE to overthrow a corrupt government ! ... that's all in the Federalist Papers, written by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the rest of the gang ... a government that knows it would be a tough battle going door-to-door (check out VietNam and Iraq) because of an armed population, will be slower to further dump on our rights ... Jefferson went on to say, that he expected an armed revolution would be necessary to overthrow his new government, in a maximum of about 200 years (last time I looked, our government has been in 'control' about 230 years ... ;) ) it seems he was convinced that after about 200 years, the Government would be corrupt, and neglect to respond to the People, how prophetic ! ... we're overdue, according to our foremost founding Father ... food for thought ... :smokin:

What if you had the choice of eating shit or getting kicked in the your crotch? Would you still vote for the Democrats? You should never support something only because it is slightly better than the alternative. Choosing between two parties is not democracy, they have given us one more choice than communist Russia had.

Imagine a restaurant that only served two beverages, Coke and Pepsi. Both are colas, one is slightly sweeter than the other, depending on your taste buds. No Root Beer, No Dr. Pepper, No Lemonade, No Iced Tea. What would happen to this restaurant? That restaurant would be replaced by a better a restaurant. A restaurant that catered to the will of the the people. So why do we Americans allow ourselves to be dominated by the two party system but not the two beverage system? I have not yet figured this out.

Welp, I'm done voting. I guess if some of you decided not to use your own voting rights, that just makes MY vote have a little more sway. Thanks! ;)

How do you know they didn't just mean we could all have sleeveless T-shirts?

Your heart is in the right place concerning the cause, Jamstigator, but truly: both sides of the aisle in DC are fools regarding prohibition. I'm an active Republican. Were this man: http://www.house.gov/paul/ representative of the party as a whole, I'd be a proud one.

With several notable exceptions, I find the Libertarian party platform to be admirable, and close to my ideals. The idea that grassroots, slow expansion will bear fruit is an article of faith, however, that I don't share. The party still hasn't regained the status it had before the '83 split. I believe that at the moment the most effective option for change is working from within the two-party system we are saddled with, whichever flavor requires you to hold your nose the least. Don't 'choose a party': choose a party to change. The number of fellow Republicans I have turned against the drug war - or at least rendered ambivalent - is well into the dozens, some of whom are influential in the community or party at the local level. Truly, a significant and disruptive event on a scale far greater than 9/11 would be needed to shake the tree of American society enough to give an alternate path a chance.

And now it's time for an aimless, cathartic rant:
'Working from within' is a fine idea in the abstract, but it is a damned hard road to travel. You can't know how galling it is for me as a Hayek-loving, small-government-and-personal-responsibility conservative to have to sit and watch 'my' party spend like rabid socialists scant years after gaining control of all branches of government, launch harebrained schemes to turn the barbaric Middle East into Iowa, and spend endless quantities of money prosecuting a prohibitionist war that takes its authority from a 1930's leftist scheme to allow the Federal government to regulate literally everything! :mad: For our European board members, I'm referring to the subversive commerce clause reinterpretation used initially to create the New Deal, and since then for nothing but mischief.

*cough* Sorry. I feel better now. :)
