EXCERPTS

. . . ‘The Uruguayan legislature voted this month to legalize the government-regulated sale of marijuana to registered nationals, marking a major departure from repressive drug war policies pioneered by the United States.” . . .

. . . ““This is a change so obviously sensible, squeezing out the crooks and allowing the authorities to concentrate on graver crimes, that no other country has made it,” The Economist quipped. “If others followed suit, and other narcotics were included, the damage such drugs wreak on the world would be drastically reduced.” . . .

Obama Administration Sues North Carolina over Voter ID Law (+) SUES TEXAS OVER VOTER ID LAW (Video Reports)

Featured Image: Blue ballot box clip art. SOURCE wpclipart.com. (Public Domain).

 It might be better if Eric Holder spent more time cleaning up the rogue NSA than trying to keep the individual States from insuring the ‘one citizen – one vote’ law. North Carolina is demanding that voters identify themselves with proper ID at the polls.   Holder clams it would be a problem for poor people and ‘people of color’ to get an ID. Yet, the same people who Eric Holder says would be placed under a hard-ship to get an ID to vote must present 2 IDs to receive food stamps and other government hand-outs and they don’t seem to have a problem getting those services.  Lets face it, in today’s troubled times we need to know who is voting just as well as we need to know who is buying a pack of cigarettes at the local 7-11.

It’s actually a no brainer why this administration is fighting to try and keep voters from identifying themselves… if IDs were required illegal aliens and the election liberal zombies (those who vote more than once and those dirt-nap voters famous for getting out of their graves on election day and heading for the polls) wouldn’t be able to stuff the ballot box with the votes needed to elect people who’s agenda is the One World Order. . . .

The Justice Department is suing North Carolina for alleged racial discrimination over its tough new voting rules, Attorney General Eric Holder announced Monday. “By restricting access and ease of voter participation, this new law would shrink, rather than expand, access” to voting, Holder said at a news conference. “Allowing limits on voting rights that disproportionately exclude minority voters would be inconsistent with our ideals as a nation.” The lawsuit is the latest effort by the Obama administration to counter a Supreme Court decision that struck down the most powerful part of the landmark Voting Rights Act and freed states, many of them in the South, from strict federal oversight of their elections. . . .

The Sequester Is Law, So Obama Will Ignore It (+) Understand the Sequester (Spoiler: It’s Bananas.) (Video Report)

From godfathers Politics by   4/15/13

Nixon famously insisted that whatever the President does is legal, by definition. Nixon learned otherwise, but only because the media-government complex ousted him from office. Now with media liberal superstar Obama, all bets are off. As John Glaser writes,

“In case you’ve been asleep for the whole of Barack Obama’s first term, here’s one fundamental doctrine that has proven itself to guide his administration: if the President does it, it’s not illegal.” . . . Read Complete Report

The Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday took the first steps to making such coins legal tender in Arizona. SB 1439 would give them the same legal status as the bills and coins authorized by Congress.
Nothing in the proposal by Sen. Chester Crandell, R-Heber, would force anyone to actually accept these coins as payment for any debt. Their use would be voluntary.

NORMLIZE CONGRESS: Marijuana Law Reform Heating Up in 2013

From NORML

by Erik Altieri, NORML Communications DirectorJanuary 

1/7/2012

The votes this past November in Colorado and Washington to regulate marijuana for adults have sparked a fire of change that seems to be spreading across the country. This month, both state and federal legislatures will return to work to kick off the 2013 legislative session and it is already shaping up to be one of the busiest in recent memory for marijuana reformers. Bills are already slated to be introduced in states such as Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Texas – with many more to be introduced in the coming weeks. It is very likely that on top of federal legislation coming down the pipeline, nearly two dozen marijuana reform measures will also be introduced across the country in various states. NORML will be providing you withAction Alerts as new bills are introduced, easily allowing you to contact your elected officials and ask them to support these important reform measures. . . .
