Lobbying Spending Database-It matters
Historically, the party that spends the most, usually loses. You can find out why in a great book called Freakonomics. I will give you a hint, those that win elections, do so because of their character. Most spend more money to make the other party look bad. Make sense? I hope so.
Marijuana Cigarettes
Why is Marijuana Illegal, well, the reason hopefully shocks you, and hopefully pisses you off. They're insulting our collective intelligence.
Harry Anslinger, the first Drug Czar, here are the reasons he told the public for why it should be illegal.
“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.”
“…the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.”
“Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.”
“Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.”
“Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing”
“You smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother.”
“Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.”
Its time to get this done. Whether or not you live in California and are voting on Prop 19, you need to be helping this movement.
But why? I don't poke smot? Well it shouldn't matter, your TAX dollars are being wasted.
Or, as Alternet describes it....
