Gil Kerlikowske, the US drug czar wants to meet personally with the Seattle Times editorial board. Lets get this tax wasting junket live and streaming!! Please sign this petition!! Marijuana Policy Project: Survey - Petition the Seattle Times to live-stream Drug Czar meeting
Signed! And I'm still waiting on that debate from Obama. He said it was worth debating. Why doesn't he debate it? Cuz he's chicken shit! I doubt this thing with the drug czar will go live either though. They would prefer to keep their bullying behind the scenes so the rest of the country can't see just how Gestapo-like they really are.
Seattle times could just tell them live or nothing. I don't see why in the world of skype the dude needs to fly out there. Stop wasting our damn money and just do a video conference.
I wonder if CSPAN would be interested in this? An appointed government employee interfering with freedom of the press?
That's pretty damn messed up that he even has to change public opinion anyway. Like if the newspaper published that it's obviously telling you something about the general consensus. I'd like to see the editorial board tell him to kick rocks, but somehow I think Kerlikowske will intimidate/punish/influence them in some fashion if they don't change their minds. Just the fact that he has to have some "private meeting" with them makes me feel like were under some fascist regime.
Signed. Hope some good comes out of this. Things like this make you lose faith in the system actually working.
I forget when it's supposed to happen, but if someone would update with what went down after the fact, I'd really like to know.
gil: that briefcase over there has XXXX millions inside it, start writing anti pot eds newspaper: thanks! ^ just a joke
Signed! I posted an article about this the other day. Good to see others are getting on board too. Keep up the good fight brothers! Does anyone have a ling to the actual articles that the times printed? There was the one in question and then one more from a few days later.
Signed Here is the one in question. Editorials | The Washington Legislature should legalize marijuana | Seattle Times Newspaper
