I agree with Stinky, working within the system for change is what this great country is about. We (Americans) are not the same as we were two hundred years ago..and we will have even more different problems and blessings two hundred years into the future.
Change is a definate, so we must vote and keep working toward what is best for us all.
With the ease of contacting your Congressmen now, I would hope they get thousands of emails every day. I email mine the first of every month letting them know I support change in the Federal laws against Mj. They have a pat reply, but at least they know where I, as a voter, stands.
