Video Explores the Fight for Medical Marijuana in California

July 24th, 2008

The wonderful website reason.tv, recently released a wonderful video illustrating the problems that California is facing in trying to succeed with the medical marijiuana movement. It is entitled, “Raiding California” and can be found here.

This video is particularly interesting because it focuses on the treatment of a minor. Definitely worth the 10 minutes:

Thanks to Drew Carey and reason.tv for the wonderful video. Hopefully politicians will start to wake up or the Federal Government will start to butt out.

More information about some of the necessary steps towards changing the drug policies in America are explored in my other post, which is entitled: “Necessary Components in an Exit Strategy for the War on Drugs.”

Just One Article of Impeachment Finally Gets Through to Judiciary Review

July 15th, 2008

The Kucinich camp has introduced another article of impeachment against the President of the United States of America.

Kucinich released a letter to his colleagues which asked the following of them:

“This Thursday evening I will bring a privileged resolution to the House with a single Article of Impeachment of President Bush for taking our nation and our troops to war based on lies. We owe it to our troops who even at this hour stand as sentinels of America because they love this country and will give their lives for it. What are we willing to do to match their valor and the valor of their successors? Are we at least willing to defend the Constitution from the comfort and security of our Washington, DC offices?”

The President is being accused of:

“Deceiving Congress with fabricated threats of Iraq WMDs to fraudulently obtain support for an authorization of the use of military force against Iraq.”

The article has been introduced and as of this writing, it is being voted upon to refer to the judiciary committee. (42-34 with 5:00 minutes left) (51-52 with 3:00 left) (59-64 with 2:00 left) (70-77 with 1:00 left) (77-80 with :30 left) (85-83 00:10 left)

SUCCESS!!! - (238 - 180) The Senate Judiciary Committee will review the article of impeachment. Oh my gosh, we might get to see justice after all.

If 30+ reasons weren’t enough… maybe one solid reason will be.
