Barack Obama has said clearly he will not legalize marijuana or in any way alter the drug war, except he has promised to stop DEA raids against medical patients in California. His remark: "Its a poor use of resources." Period. In all the videos of Barack Obama being asked about medical marijuana, he expresses no sympathy or empathy on this issue.
Since joining the Senate in 2004, Barack Obama has never sponsored or even voted for any legislation that repeals any aspect of the Drug War. Barack Obama has always voted to fund the Iraq war in every senate vote.
Ron Paul has voted:
* Against the drug czar (John Walters) budget every year
* Against all anti-marijuana advertising every year
* Against Justice Department appropriations for the DEA every year
* Is Chief Sponsor of 2007 Industrial Hemp Act
* Is co-sponsor of The States's Rights To Medical Marijuana Act
Ron Paul has many videos where he promises to pardon all the pot people and free all jailed non-violent federal drug law offenders. Ron Paul will restore voting rights to all previously convicted federal drug-law offenders. Ron Paul will free hundreds of thousands of African-Americans, but no African-Americans will be freed by Obama, as few medical marijuana patients are African-American, and virtually none of the blacks in jail (over 600,000 blacks in jails in the USA for drugs) would be released under Obama's Prohibition, all of whom would be freed, pardoned and have their voting rights restored by President Ron Paul.
When Wolf Blitzer asked Ron Paul for his first domestic act as President on Friday morning's CNN, Ron Paul said "Order the Justice Department to stop arresting sick people over marijuana." Wow!
Ron Paul has voted against the Iraq War from its inception and has always voted to defend the war in Iraq and the military empire abroad.
I urge fellow stoners to look beyond Barack Obama's "Likeableness" and see that there is no substance to Barack Obama on issues of the drug war. He supports prohibition, period. In fact, because Obama used marijuana and cocaine as a youth, it's likely he will have to over-compensate to white voters and religious voters and promise to maintain the drug war paradigm, which is what happens with many ex-smokers (Clinton, Gingrich) who get into high office.
Ron Paul's first act as President will be to restrain the DEA immediately. He has stated this even though it is a pronouncement full of risk. Ron Paul believes in truth and doesn't let electibility influence his principles, which are based on individual liberty and the US Constitution.
Ron Paul has never even seen marijuana, but he is way more true and sincere and correct on the issue than our former puffer Obama. Ex pot-smokers are often the most anxious to show prohibitionists how sorry they are for their "youthful indiscretions" when the opportunity for power is presented to them.
With Ron Paul, there is no such compromise possible. There is no comparison. Obama is a pretender, Ron Paul is a liberator.
ON TUESDAY, PLEASE STAY TRUE TO OUR CULTURE AND VOTE FOR THE HERO OF THE POT PEOPLE: RON PAUL.
And if it's of any influence, Ron Paul will certainly rescind the indictment and Extradition Request for the BC3, myself, Greg Williams, Michelle Rainey. So, to all the tens of thousands of Americans who have asked how they can do the most for me in my battle with the DEA & US Justice Dept., you can do the most for me by doing the most for all US pot people, that is campaigning and voting and telling everyone you know to make RON PAUL PRESIDENT in 2008.
