420 Campaign - Going Presidential
Let the Candidates Know Where You Stand on Marijuana’s Legalization
Mon, Sep 17, 2007 12:49 pm
There are several ways individual supporters of legalization can influence the race for the presidency. One of the easiest things is to simply contact the various candidates and ask them where they stand on marijuana’s legalization. Another approach is to educate them about the issue. Even better, ask them where they stand, follow up with some information that challenges their position, and then make it clear where you stand and what it would take for them to earn your support.
It’s easy to learn how to become an effective advocate for legalization. Just familiarize yourself with our 420 Campaign. Learn the basic skills of activism. Study the Top Ten Reasons Marijuana Should be Legalized. Now you’re ready to make your voice heard. However, if you want to be even more prepared, do a little more background research. Find out about the national survey data on the number of marijuana users in the United States. Learn a little about national opinion surveys on public attitudes about marijuana’s legalization. Read about the size and value of the domestic marijuana crop. Review the 420 Campaign’s advice for contacting congressional representatives about marijuana’s legalization.
Next, figure out what you want to say to each of the candidates for president. Here are three suggestions you can choose from:
1) Ask them where they stand on marijuana’s legalization and why.
2) Provide them with one or two reasons you believe marijuana should be legalized and ask them if they will support taking a new look at the nation’s marijuana laws.
3) Ask them what they believe marijuana laws are supposed to accomplish, whether or not they believe the laws are successful, and what policies they would have regarding marijuana if elected.
Finally, use the information below to learn about the candidates. More importantly, use the contact information below to get in touch with each candidate for the Democratic and Republican nominations for president and let them know one way or another that marijuana legalization is an important issue for you and many other members of the general public. Be serious. If you treat the issue seriously, so will they. Remember, most of these candidates do not believe that taking pro-legalization positions on marijuana will help them get elected. You need to convince them otherwise, and the best way to do that is to be serious, well informed, and sincere. Show them your best side, be thoughtful and intelligent and you have a good chance of making a good impression on the candidate and their campaign staff. This is what it takes to be influential. If the campaigns hear from more Americans about legalization, they will start to realize that this is a more important issue than they previously believed.
As the campaigns heat up many public interest organizations, include drug policy groups, will survey the campaigns and publicize where they stand on reform issues. Indeed, this process has already started. But you can influence the campaigns by letting them know where you stand on the issues. Please contact the presidential candidates and let them know you support marijuana’s legalization.

Sounds a hell of a lot like "The War on Terror"
Ron Paul sounds like a winner to me. I've seen a few of his youtube vids hinting of a 420 America again.

many states have laws that condone medical marijuana, but bush Administration is using federal drug enforcement agents to raid these facilities and arrest seriously ill people. Focusing scarce law enforcement resources on these patients who pose no threat while many violent and highly dangerous drug traffickers are at large makes no sense. Senator Obama will not continue the Bush policy when he is president.

My main concern with marijuana being illegal is a person who believes in one conspiracy theory tends to believe in others; a person who does not believe in one conspiracy theory not to believe another. This may be caused by differences in the information upon which parties rely in formulating their conclusions. A person who believes in a conspiracy theory may do so because of AWARENESS OF INFORMATION,such as that certain political leader was a member of an enigmatic secret society. Is the government a secret society? The government has been of suspicion and speculation from non-members since the time of the Declaration of Independance.
We will meet in the White House for a Wake and Bake Hillary, to talk about the the ideology of the government.

I personally like the hack and slash or dungeon crawl campaign.
THis year I would like to see more role-playing games where the candidates assume the roles of fictional characters and collaboratively create or follow stories. Candidates determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, Candidates can improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the game. No cheating or fighting, throwing things at one another. killing anyone... now behave yourselves candidates.

Agent Orange and "Super Orange" were the nicknames given to a herbicide and defoliant used by the United States Armed Forces in its Herbicidal Warfare program during the Vietnam War.
Agent Orange was used from 1961 to 1971 and was by far the most used of the so-called "Rainbow Herbicides" utilized during the program. Maybe I am a pest.
Studies of population highly exposed to dioxin, though not necessarily Agent Orange, indicate increased risk of various types of cancer and defects; the effect of long-term low-level exposure has not been established.
While Louie Armstrong sings "what a beautiful world."
In Appreciation
God, Guns and Guts kept America Free for over 200 years within the frame of the Constition. These are a part of our American Heritage.
We wish to Thank all Patriots for supporting the U.S. Constitution. Especially those Patriotic leaders that have taken the initiative of informing the people of their rights and the abuses of gobernment at the risk of their own security. "Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it light."
George Washington, The Father of Weed.

Federal Reserve's Balance
Sep 24 2007, 12:07 am
*The 16 billion in deposit liabilities of Depository institutions' shows that dollar bills are not the only source of government money. Banks can swap 'Deposit Liabilities' of the Fed for 'Federal Reserve Notes' back and forth as needed to match demand from customers, and the Fed can have the 'Bureau of Engraving and Printing' create the paper bills as needed to match demand from banks for paper money. The amount of money printed has no relation to the growth of the monetary base (M0).*THe 6 billion in Treasury liabilities shows that the treasury Department doesn't use a private banker but rather uses the Fed directly (the lone exception to this rule is treasury Tax and Loan because government worries that pulling too much money out of the private banking system during tax time could be disruptive).*Total capital represents the profit the Fed has earned which comes mostly from the assets they purchase with the deposti and note liabilities they create. Excess capital is then turned over to the Treasury Department and Congress to be included into the Federal Budget as "Miscellanious Revenue"
