here is my letter to senator boxer of california
Dear Senator Boxer,
My name is David (blank) and I would like to bring to light an issue which I recently discovered while browsing an online forum. According to the post and the news article attached which is
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Congre...onal_0417.html.
According to this story there is a bill being presented which intends to "Make Way for Serious Criminals" by removing federal prosecution for indidivuals possessing marijuana.
First off, I feel blessed to live in the land of the free. But sometimes I wonder how free I really am. It is discouraging to know that I am labeled a criminal by my government for consuming a plant which has never produced an overdose of any kind. It can be vaporized or cooked in the oven with fats or oils, which removes the carcinogens from what you ingest.
It has extremely economic potential for the state of California and most of the midwest us. Please consider the potential this bill offers. While you may not smoke marijuana yourself, there are millions of people out there that do. Please feel compassion for these people because they could be lawyers, business people, doctors, psychologists, teachers, ect that are living in secret in fear of being thrown in jail over a little bit of marijuana. They used to spread propaganda in movies ect that marijuana turned you into a non-productive member of society. This simply isn't true. Infact, in some people it inspires great creativity and focus.
These are the reasons I support this bill and I hope you will to. Thank you for your time and I hope you will consider this letter when contemplating the issue at hand.
Have a nice day Senator.
