16. Indeed
Speak your conscience... Vote your conscience.

You won't have to hold your nose at the polls, and you can look yourself in the face in the morning.

Don't sell your vote short for the lesser of two evils at the expense of what you know is right.

Peace.

what do you expect? There are as many dems complicit in the WoD
as there are repukes, unfortunately.

As long as there are those DINO's out there pandering to the corporate automaton temperament, there will dems who choose to remain on the side of ignorance. :-(

19. You work for and vote for people who would have you arrested, if they
could, because they're less rabid about having you arrested, than the opposition.

Meanwhile, speak your mind, and educate on the issues.

Convince the public, and the "leaders" will follow.

20. actually, I don't
I work for myself, and I vote for no one who doesn't support what I believe. That is, I will not vote just to participate in voting and elect someone who's position I don't agree with, someone who's only goal is to perpetuate the system.

10. Demand their head on a platter
and threaten to leave the Democratic party. (And get really, really outraged at the rest of us pot smokers who are willing to vote for that politician over a Repukelickin' any day.)

12. support the libertarians in taking him down
The libertarians run a special fund against drugs warriors,
as do MPP. It doesn't matter that he's a democrat if he's a
person who would murder his own kids.
Make a small donation to:

www.mpp.org

and/or

www.lp.org

14. The libertarians are monsters who don't see the connection between
the crushing of peoples' personal rights, and the crushing of peoples' economic rights.

They are Con tools of the Pubs, and their clowns (clones) on the right wing radio give only lip service to opposing the drug war, while screaming their crackpot right wing nut so called economics.

15. Agreed, but you asked
I am militant about the drugs laws, and i'll take my friends where they stand.

If you stand for the drugs laws foolhardy destruction of
civil society and its deepening rotting of all that is decent,
what do you expect? If the moron is a dem, then i'll hope the
troops rally against morons... stupidity has no party.

The marijuana policy project was the first link i cited there...
