"Make Room for the Serious Criminals Bill"

I just called all of my state reps offices and left messages for them to support HR 5843. I think all of you should do the same. They will only take action if pressure it put on them. LET'S PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THEM NOW!

I am also e-mailing all of them now. Please please please don't smoke a joint and do it later. DO IT NOW!

Co-sponsoring the bill are Reps. Ron Paul (R-TX), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and Sam Farr (D-CA).

This bill has the power to save millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars.

"To those who say that the government should not be encouraging the smoking of marijuana, my response is that I completely agree. But it is a great mistake to divide all human activity into two categories: those that are criminally prohibited, and those that are encouraged. In a free society, there must be a very considerable zone of activity between those two poles in which people are allowed to make their own choices as long as they are not impinging on the rights, freedom, or property of others."

I know, it's exciting right?

I'm not worried that the house won't pass it, I think they will. I'm worried the Senate won't and even if they do, Bush then has the choice to veto it. If he has the pleasure in doing so, unless Congress is willing to revolt against this president, it won't become law.

This has already happened in some states, right? Like in Ohio where I live 3.5oz is just a $100 civil citation and they take it but nothing goes on your record. It's nothing big at all.
