She and her husband were behind the persecution of one of the top Medicinal Marijuana Advocates here in California.

Together with Janet Reno, they made Lynnette Shaw's life hell.

Her stance on medicinal marijuana is yet another proof of her being a neo con.

That being said, there is no way she doesn't consider that to be a hindrance to her private prison lobbyist donors, so count that out. She'll likely fuck with states' rights while she's at it, too. I'd love to be wrong.

and thrown in prison you might come down off your high horse. (pun intended)

2.3 million in prison.

Millions without health care.

Millions living in poverty.

Millionaires and Billionaires not paying 1 cent in taxes.

Illegal wars and invasions.

I think your sons and their friends have a better grasp on things than you do.

Enjoy the oligarchy.

P.S. Hillary should suggest legalizing cannabis. She has copied everything else

from Bernie. She may as well complete the list.

Right now, she is in campaign mode, and her Big Donors understand that she might say and do things that are necessary to try and get the WH in November.

But she is fully allied with Big Insurers and Big Pharma, (and also the Big Prison Industry,) so if she should secure the WH, she will not do a damn thing to legalize pot.

Doctor tells his patient he has bad news; patient only has 30 days to live. Patient asks is there anything I can do?

Doctor tells him: I need you to give up all drugs, give up sex, give up gambling, give up booze, and give up all rich food.

The patient asks; "If I do that will I live longer?"

the doctor answers: No, but the month will feel like a year.

and that's not a bad thing. That's not a slam. The Democratic party is super established. I'm not against the "revolution," but how about starting with State Senators and school boards. I'm not being snarky. I like you guys.

But please, start local. Build your party.
