Knowing Where Candidates Stand

[welj31]

I would like some people to help me find and list candidates for any and all positions. We need to know who they are and where they stand on MM.

 

We can list them here and have people call, email, and write them to find out who our friends are.

Rev Steve on MI NORML site is also working on this, but needs our help. We can share this information and take back our government.

Lets get involved. Lets unite!

I think many are eager to help -

 

Where can we collect and check the info at so we are not double working??

[welj31]

You can paste the info here but as for where to find in I would say the internet thanks john

The will of the people was clear when the ballot initiative passed by as

large of a margin as it did. I support the will of the people to allow

marijuana to be used for medicinal purposes only and the law should be

enforced as such.

 

Sincerely,

Virg

A checklist of who supports and who doesn't would be great.

Here's something along these lines I started awhile back in the Patient issues section. Check it out lots of info or I would cut and paste it here.

Virg is probably our man,everyone else has pretty much given us the middle finger although I havent heard from hokestra.

I hear ya with the links, and I actually started a list of links to post here. I'll include them in the bottom of this post. The only thing is that some people may not want to freely surf some of the State sites. I know the LEO's are watching this site too, but just from me digging around last night I saw some interesting things on/in their sites that got me a little wierded out, but maybe I'm just paranoid. I just that just speaks on how scary it is do be doing something totally legal, yet fear the system that we created and officials that we elected. Anyway, here are some that i pulled up.

Here is a message I received from Scott Withers, who is running for District 5, as it relates to his stand on Medical Marijuana.

 

*********************************************

 

I do not have a medical degree, so I will have to defer to medical experts about the benefits of medical marijuana.

 

I will say that based on the medical research I've reviewed, medical marijuana does have benefits for several types of diseases. In these cases, I support it being used under a physician's direction.

 

Scott

**********************************************

 

 

Just thought I'd pass that along.

Remember if you enable cookies, every site you go to dumps one on you and many track people's net surfing even away from their sites. I wouldn't trust the repubs not to do this- hey if they track someone here maybe they'll see some REAL information! LOL! I'd be sure to see how the candidates voted on the issues, too.

interesting response, "I don't have a medical degree so....." Geesh like a medical degree is gonna really help, considering so many with them disagree on MM's benefits. I think someone needs educating, to me that's a cop-out, THIS is WHY we need to compile ALL the positive MM stories in one place, I'd like to see STACKS of them on ALL these peoples' desks! EDUCATION..... Knowledge is Power, REAL knowledge. I wonder how many of those politicians KNOW anyone who's benefited from MM. Remember to look into their voting records, that'll really help reveal where they stand on MM, don't just take their word for it, too many politicians will say anything to get elected.
