Today our country is controlled by big business. You think we have a free country but we do not. The war on drugs is a prime example of this fact. Ignoring popular outcries our so called representatives still support big business and the money paid to them by lobbyist. We have jailed 20 million so far and waste 100 billion of our hard earned money yearly. To wage this war on us which actually protects profits for the ones that benefit from the war.

You say I don't take drugs so this does not effect me? You are wrong it waste money and at the rate of incarceration it will touch one you know sooner or later. While we sit by and allow our elected representatives to keep voting to support major corporations that benefit from the billions wasted on the war. Which is against the majority they are sworn to represent. Enslaving mainly poor, powerless, people of color they consider expendable.

The major corporations also pay huge amounts to make sure illegal drugs are shown in a bad light. While safer than many chemical drugs produced by them. Doctors in California where cannabis has been legal since 1996 say it could replace 80% of the legal drugs with less negative side effects. The only problem is anyone can grow cannabis. So the major pharmaceutical companies can find no way to reap their massive profits off a weed.

The legal drug boys also sponsor a propaganda organization called Drug Free American Foundation Inc. But they do not want a drug free American that would put them out of business. They want to control the drugs you have access to (theirs). So they use this organization to fight against drugs that would hurt their profits. The legal drugs kill over five hundred thousand every year but illegal cannabis has never killed anyone in over 5000 years of use. But it is a weed and can be grown and used free, if we had freedom of choice in this our free country.

Please help me and other informed activist (I do not use drugs am 60 retired and a veteran) I just see so many young people that have their lives destroyed by a criminal record for this victimless crime. To me it like drinking a beer and having your life destroyed and going to jail. The only difference the beer people pay over nine million every year to our representatives also the pharmaceutical industry pays over 25 million every year to protect their profits form a weed. They will enslave millions of Americans to ensure they keep making the billions in profits they enjoy today.

Wake up American read the facts don't buy the lies and propaganda. Insist our representatives do as sworn and represent the majority of Americans. That realize the war on drugs does much more harm than good. We could also fund universal health care for all Americans with the money saved. I think it would be better spent helping Americans rather than destroying them. Return our right of free choice and end the tyranny called the war on drugs.

We need a revolution for the same reason in the past, "Taxation without Representation." Our lawmakers are voting in support of the money payed to them through lobbies. Today we have the Internet to wage our revolution. We should use it to force our representatives to do as sworn. Stop the millions given to buy their (our) votes to override the majority.

Stop the tyranny end the war on US (drugs) fund health care for all Americans. Use the cops to look into white collar crime that cost us billions every year. Leave the poor an powerless to choose for themselves. Whether they want a beer that will kill you or a weed that has never harmed anyone in 5000 years of being used as a medication for many ailments...

Stop enslaving Americans because you took our freedom of choice away we want it restored now!!
