While I don't agree all of his opinions, Ron Paul seems to be one of the only ones willing to stand up for individual liberty. Webb from VA is another. While we certainly have our share of stupidity and ignorance, Alabama has no monopoly on these or the drug war would not still be going on virtually worldwide.sixstringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990051566697010428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-28580657238414190762009-06-26T12:44:55.046-05:002009-06-26T12:44:55.046-05:00Dale,
I've sent out letters to the editor to ...Dale,<br /><br />I've sent out letters to the editor to all of Alabama's major newspapers and had my group do so as well. They will take a few days to show up. Also, the Talladega Daily Home is doing an anchor article on the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana that is due to be published Sunday. I've alerted them to this little Davis nugget of information as well as provided to PRO side of legalization for the article. I've also just sent out Davis's lack of response to all of my media contacts in the state. Hopefully he won't be able to ignore it for long. <br /><br />It's absurd with all the tens of millions of dollars that could be saved in the prison budget, the jobs that could be created and the tax revenue raised to continue to treat this issue like it's leprosy. The economic crisis calls for an open and honest debate. Are Alabamians really going to continue spending tens of millions of dollars per year that we do not have just to keep people from smoking pot? <br /><br />The level of stupidity and willful ignorance in this state never ceases to amaze me.Loretta Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598106614871958352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-40562717754688602682009-06-26T12:35:31.782-05:002009-06-26T12:35:31.782-05:00"We Won't Be Ignored"

Are we just supposed to 'have faith' that he will do this should he be elected?<br /><br />I certainly don't trust him or any other candidate to say anything about it after they are elected. All they seem to be interested in after being elected is getting elected again in four years, so nothing controversial in the first term. In the second term they are not accountable to anyone because they can't run again.<br /><br />Letting politicians get away with this nonsense is what got us into this mess. <br /><br />Why ask for ideas form the public then completely ignore the two most popular ideas? <br /><br />Him refusing to answer because of what his opponents might do is politics as usual, even though in his video response he said that isn't the way he is going to run his campaign. Sure looks like that is the way he is going to run his campaign to me. <br /><br />I've sent out media alerts to all major papers in Alabama as well as LTE's. Artur better say something, even if it isn't what I want to hear, or I will hound him all the way to election day.Loretta Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598106614871958352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-14574330176262493682009-06-26T05:55:52.361-05:002009-06-26T05:55:52.361-05:00If Artur Davis were to come out publicly in favor ...If Artur Davis were to come out publicly in favor of legalization (or decriminalization) his opponents would jump all over it. They would blow it all out of proportion. TV commercials would show passed out junkies laying in dirty alleyways. They would show footage of victims of the Mexican drug wars. And the voters of this oh so Red state would eat it up. It would be wise of Mr. Davis to distance himself from this topic until after he is in office. He should stick to the economy, jobs and education and then take on other issues after he is elected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-38045280967944974212009-06-25T16:06:45.869-05:002009-06-25T16:06:45.869-05:00I'm on my fourth possession offense and I'...I'm on my fourth possession offense and I've never have to do my mandatory year and a day......., Troy King is not touch on crime....but he is for extortion and ignoring ALABAMA LAW.....flood the county and city jails they will change the law.....do your timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-84258589010382119132009-06-25T15:35:35.567-05:002009-06-25T15:35:35.567-05:00Greetings,

I voted for Congressman Davis in the last election, and I would most likely vote for him in the upcoming primary and election.<br /><br />However, Artur Davis has chosen to ignore an issue in which his potential constituents have clearly expressed an interest: decriminalization/legalization of marijuana. The arguments in favor of legalization have clearly and succinctly been made by others more informed than I, so I will refrain from repeating them here. The fact remains, however, that the issue was voted to the top on Davis' campaign website, and he has completely ignored the matter.<br /><br />I have disagreed with Congressman Davis over some matters in the past (in particular, the telcom immunity bill) but would support his campaign for the office of Governor. Seeing as Davis has ignored a matter of great importance to voters, I must reconsider my support of his campaign.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />(my name)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745419226487354593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-10990066068376432009-06-25T15:08:47.292-05:002009-06-25T15:08:47.292-05:00Common theme among humanity, my friend.
