blows my mind in regards to the video above

its not true the right to work would mean an employer could pay me as little as they want there are rules to follow here what it could mean to some is State right to work laws essentially require unionized workplaces to become "open shops". Open shops must allow employees to work, whether or not they join the associated unions or pay regular dues. I dont listen to right or left wing agendas either. And I forgot to add I thought RP was crazy four years ago and then I woke up. I'll sleep better knowing my vote was for RP,as I'm sure folks that vote for MR or BO will feel the same. I just really sincerely ask anybody that reads this post to research yourself and then look at what is happening around you and me. I have changed my views 180 degrees since I left the R and the D behind I have voted both ways over the years and kinda ashamed to say I did now:( I mean it sucks to think I have thought my whole life one way only to find out I've been punked,and to come clean on some issues I thought were right like the patriot act because they got my attention with 911,I mean for God sakes my kids were little I wanted to "keep" them safe and now to find out the Bush administration and the rest of govt was behind this,it blows my flip-pin mind,they are that evil. and now we have the TSA groping our kids and basically conditioning them that its okay for authority to molest you. All done in keeping you safe kids. And yet the libs and neo-cons continue to party like its 1999. I just dont get it. Bohemian Grove, Bilderberg interesting reading on both groups.

@ Irishgreen RP policies are insane?what policies could be anymore scarier than what Bush,BHO,or Romney? PPL hear alot of sound bites but dont really know anything about RP,besides he sounds scary?We are smarter than the media thinks we are and RP polices go along with the Constitution and individual freedom. sounds radical

anybody but obama/romney write in ron paul if you have too. we do have a choice here if folks werent so blinded my the whores in the media

Obama’s New Drug Control Report Calls for More Workplace Drug Testing, Nationwide Zero Tolerance Laws, Prescription-Only Ephedrine Products, and the Return of the “Above the Influence” Campaign Mike Riggs | April 17, 2012 The first thing you should know about President Barack Obama’s 2012 Drug Control Strategy report is that it begins and ends with the declaration that the war on drugs is working and will continue apace. Obama administration policies have “yielded significant results,” according to the President’s introductory letter, which concludes by saying, “While difficult budget decisions must be made at all levels of government, we must ensure continued support for policies and programs that reduce drug use and its enormous costs to American society.” The report ends with a familiar refrain: “Legalization of drugs will not be considered in this approach. Making drugs more available and more accessible will not reduce drug use and its adverse consequences for public health and safety. We will continue to educate young people and all Americans about the science on the harmful health effects of marijuana use.” The pages in between those two statements contain a broad outline for increased drug enforcement, mandatory rehabilitation programs for people who don’t need or want them, and the return of melodramatic Reefer Madness-style agitprop aimed at teenagers. The worst policy plans contained in the report are outlined after the jump. - The report implicitly blames the debate over drug reform—one Obama recently told Univision he’s more than willing to hear—for increased use of drugs by teens: One possible influence on this observed trend in drug use and perception of risk is the decreased exposure of youth to prevention messages and the presence of messages and policies that downplay the consequences of drug use. While the Administration supports ongoing research into determining what components of the marijuana plant can be used as medicine, to date, neither the FDA nor the Institute of Medicine has found the marijuana plant itself to meet the modern standard for safe or effective medicine for any condition. The Administration also recognizes that legalizing marijuana would not provide the answer to any of the health, social, youth education, criminal justice, and community quality of life challenges associated with drug use. - The report encourages carte blanche workplace drug testing, on the grounds that it will curtail productivity losses associated with drug use and improve users’ lives. It also describes the Obama administration’s attempt to develop on oral test for workplace drug testing: In addition to the youth programs mentioned previously, as our young people enter the workplace and others remain engaged in workforce, it is important to ensure a drug-free workplace. The consequences of illicit drug use in America’s workforce include job-related accidents and injuries, absenteeism, health care costs, and lost productivity. Workplace programs that provide clear policies regarding drug use; offer prevention and education opportunities for employers and supervisors; conduct drug testing to detect and deter use; and support referral and treatment for those who have substance use disorders can play a large role in reducing the demand for drugs throughout our Nation and in helping drug users get into treatment. These programs provide employees with the opportunity to self-identify and get help. Often, such programs give employees an opportunity to return to the same job, or a similar job in the same industry, thereby creating an incentive to succeed in their recovery and resume a fulfilling career. Consequently, drug-free workplace programs are beneficial for our labor force, employers, families, and communities in general. In 2011, the Administration committed to funding for the scientific determination for oral fluids testing as a complement to urine testing. HHS published a Federal Register notice requesting public comment on the scientific basis for oral fluid testing . HHS is moving forward to set standards for oral fluid testing that will be published in the future for public comment before they can be finalized in the Mandatory Guidelines for Drug Workplace Testing. These Guidelines will also be available for state and local jurisdictions to apply as appropriate for the prosecution of drugged driving violations, and to encourage the drug testing industry to develop accurate point-of-collection oral fluid testing devices. - The report contains a request to Congress for $20 million to Revamp and Reenergize the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, which was defunded by Congress last year because it doesn’t work: Since 2005, there has been a significant public investment in developing the widely-recognized “Above the Influence” (ATI) brand, a campaign that has been found by independent scientific analyses to be effective, relevant to youth, and instrumental to drug prevention efforts in communities across the country. Unfortunately, despite evidence of its effectiveness, Congress appropriated no funding for the Media Campaign in Fiscal Year (FY) 2012, and the campaign is now operating on a minimal budget composed of its unobligated balances as the Youth Drug Prevention Media Program. The report also calls for a nationwide zero tolerance policy for "drugged driving," which would mean all drivers would be subjected to laws that currently affect only commercial drivers: The Administration encourages states to pursue enhanced legal responses, such as per se (or “zero tolerance”) laws. Seventeen states already have per se statutes, and additional states should consider adopting these standards. These same standards have been applied to 12 million commercial drivers in the United States for the past two decades. The Administration has developed educational packets for states, providing them with information on the dangers of drugged driving and why per se laws are beneficial. - The report also says that “Several options are being considered to further reduce methamphetamine production including prescription-only status for pseudoephedrine/ephedrine products.” The Marijuana Policy Project’s Rob Kampia has called the report “appalling,” adding, “The drug czar is trying to resurrect those stupid TV ads, like the one where a teenager gets his fist stuck in his mouth. The budget intentionally undercounts the federal government's expenditures on incarcerating drug offenders, who comprise more than half of the federal prison population. And the budget dangerously proposes a massive escalation in using the military to fight drugs domestically. Congress should just ignore this budget and start from scratch. Specifically, Congress should not provide the Obama administration with any money to go after nonviolent marijuana users, growers, or distributors." Law Enforcement Against Prohibition also attacked the report. "President Obama keeps saying he is open to a discussion but he never seems willing to actually have that discussion,” said LEAP Director Neil Franklin said in a press release. “Polls show that three out of four U.S. voters think the 'war on drugs' is a failure and a majority now support marijuana legalization. The time for real change is now, but at the Summit of the Americas President Obama announced more than $130 million in aid to fund the continued effort to arrest drug traffickers in Latin America. This prohibition strategy hasn't worked in the past and it cannot work in the future. Latin American leaders know it, and President Obama must know it. Let's stop the charade and begin to bring drugs under control through legalization." Former ONDCP senior advisor Kevin Sabet, meanwhile, is doing promotion for the report, which he refers to as “Wake Up and Grow Up.” In anticipating criticism of the report, Sabet writes, "The 2012 release is likely to be attacked by those who are waiting for the day the President will make a U-turn and support legalization—but attackers will unfortunately miss the nuance and striking clarity which characterizes this particular document and its connection with the first Strategy." Fun fact: Sabet wrote the first strategy!

we all are going to do whatever I guess,but when I stand before God at least I will be able to say I didnt vote for the lesser of two evils.evil is evil period. I bought all the hype of the media for over 30 yrs,and thank God Im awake now. He's got my attention. We have natural gauges in us that dont WANT to believe the govt wants to or hurt us or anyone to hurt us for that matter. But from the patriot act to the NDAA the TSA and the increased presence in other countries it proves they dont want to help us. it just surprise me this community still believes the lies of either party. Disappointing to my heart.

it has not worked out for us too well to pick the lesser of two evils. I am repenting in the way I have voted in prior years. How many times do we have to be kicked in the head? Ron Paul is a libertarian that just so happens to have a R behind his name because thats how we have the system set up IMO R and D mean one body with two heads. Look at the man and not the letter behind them. Listen to their words and not the words of the media. Ron paul has a message dont let it fall on deaf ears.

I wanna to reply to this so bad last night lol but I was too tired and my kindle doesnt allow me to reply why is that I wonder?? okay on with my rant here and Im sure its going to ruffle some feathers here but are you making whoopee kidding me? We are not dumb asses here are we? We have Ron Paul right in front of us. We DONT HAVE to vote for the lesser of two evils Im soooo sick of that argument! With either Romeny or Obama its going to be more of the same seriously what have we got to lose. BHO has PROVEN he's not going to change the prohibition and with all he's brought to the table the last 3 years I know Im not better off,ImNOt going to be better off with Romeny I know that. If this community would have enough balls and get behind Ron Paul we really could change something,but as long as the sheeple say oh well woes me there's nothing I can do except vote for the lesser of two evils then I'll be a dumb donkey and vote for ummmm enie,meni,myne,mo. there is no such thing as the lesser of two evils they are both EVIL. PAUL IS THE ONLY ONE THAT STAYS ON MSG ,HAS FOR OVER 30 YEARS. Come on folks dont buy into Fox,CNN, ABC or what ever news media your listening too. Do your homework the monster here is repub and dem its one party with two heads. Lets start the making whoopee revolution already and get behind RP.OTW be prepared to bend over AGAIN.

make sure you are a registered patient before your grow is set up......good luck to you in your adventure and the happiness of being a farmer

glad you have peace

I make crafts. Lol.

That's how I understand it to be. The large pork farmers were indeed behind this.

exactly I would rather take my chances of what 'might' happen if these pigs got loose,but the 2nd vid I posted I dont know how that could happen,these pigs are very kept very well and the farm seems secure to me.Let the family prosper.

a family trying to just put food on the table,the pigs are only called feral because they roam free on the farm,and if I ate pork thats how I'd want my pork. watch the family farm video what is wrong with having a farm this way? If we KNOW anything from what we have gone through with our fight with the stae its you dont beleive EVERYTHING they put out as propaganda.

heres the other farm that is being shut down.this farm the pigs are raised for food,so this other farm is hunting?I dont have an opinion about that(surprisingly) http://www.bakersgreenacres.com/
