Senator Bennet
Thanks for posting that mustangwmn.
It does sound like a cop out. Sen Bennet claims to uphold the will of the voters, but what is going to happen when we need a favorable vote from Bennet and the will of the voters is not known? For example, lets say a bill is introduced which asks if marijuana should be rescheduled? The will of the voters is not known in this case. Is he going to vote for, or against? Am I the only one who thinks that Bennet is anti-marijuana?
This is not to say that Romanoff is any better though. Romanoff publicly supports marijuana legalization, however he pissed off marijuana activists concerning Prop 44.
Below is a cut and pasted article from the Boulder Weekly Paper 3-11-2010 Concerning Romanoff and Marijuana and Prop 44,
"The large and growing minority that supports re-legalizing cannabis (marijuana) should remember when then-House Speaker Romanoff enabled and supported misleading and false information regarding Amendment 44, which would have legalized small amounts of cannabis, in the 2006 Blue Book voter guide, which may have interfered with a fair election.
The deliberately placed lies were so blatant that the Rocky Mountain News printed an editorial (??Ambushing the pot initiative,? Sept. 15, 2006, Ambushing the pot initiative : TheRocky.com: Denver News, Business, Homes, Jobs, Cars, & Information) which claimed, ??The Legislative Council and its staff have made a serious mistake that will cloud the reputation of the Blue Book for years to come.?
Colorado voters were not well-represented with this abusive use of power and should not risk such behavior from a politician in the future. I still don??t know Bennet??s stand on cannabis issues, but Romanoff is a menace. Take that to the Colorado Democratic caucus coming up March 16."
I'll make a call to Romanoff's office tomorrow and see what they say.
