Here in Nevada I was positive it would pass as the churches had approved of it and the medical field approved and I felt the median age of voters was coming into the range of baby boomers. Unfortunately it went down like 57% to 43% a very dissapointing outcome! I wonder how many stoners either didn't register to vote or were too stoned to go vote!
I have heard this argument many times, but a Libertarian vote is sending a message to the other two parties essentially saying that we are sick and tired of your shit and we want to move in a more enlightened and progressive way. I refuse to keep this two party political monopoly over our country and thats why I vote Libertarian, despite you saying that I am throwing my vote away. No...I am making my vote count! If there is a Libertarian on the ballot, everyone has a chance to vote for him and to put him in office.

In order to get Libertarians in office...we have to vote them in!! Duh!!!
