Reps In Lansing Trying To Ban All Felons From Being Caregivers.

[greenbuddha]

Some of our reps in Lansing, all of whom happen to be Republicans, want to change the MMJ law to ban anyone that has ANY felony record from being a caregiver, NOT just those that have felony 'drug' convictions.

Never get 75% dead in committee. Grandstanding, possibly political fodder depending on the dustrict. Bottom line? Bullsh#t!

Wayne, let's hope you're right.

 

I posted the info primarily to show that politicians are going to use the anti-MMJ idea to help get themselves elected or re-elected.

 

It also helps to point out which politicians and 'political parties' are actively trying to undermine the MMJ law.

 

VOTE in the PRIMARY this August 3rd... and in NOVEMBER.

 

Local and State elections are often won or lost by only a few votes.

I've missed one primary election since 1972. If you don't vote your not entitled to an opinion in my world!

[BArndog]

You did notice that all of the bill sponsors are all republicans...

[Guest Wayne]

Well of course their all Republican's! Just positioning themselves to cry "friends of potheads" when refering to their opponents who "refuse to take a stance against criminals growing the evil weed". May work in districts full of ignorant voters. After all 63% of voters can't be right.

[Guest Wayne]

Speaking of Republican's. Rick Wilson, Republican for Michigan Congress in the 5th district is in opposition to medical marijuana as supported by 63% of Michigan voters. Everybody give him a call and ask if he expects those that voted in support of Proposal 1 to vote for him? 800-433-2998.

This must be stopped. Please dont let these fools do this, simply saying they cant do it will only enable them to take away more of my rights. I have stood beside all of you, I will continue to do so, even if they take my cg card away. i ask that you stop this. I will still grow, as I am a patient as well, but my patients need me. I need your help in this fight

[Guest Wayne]

Oops! Correction! Rick Wilson, Fifth District, U.S. Congress. My apologies to Mr. Wilson.

[Greg Starks]

The sponsors are not all Republicans, and people should take this bill very seriously.

[Kingdiamond]

75% of the house and the governors signature required?

 

This bills dead in the water this is simply nothing but politicians grandstanding for the upcoming elections .

[GanjaWarrior]

Does that mean we remain speechless and let them use our medicine as a political tool. If its dead in the water that's grand, the sobs are trying to rewrite our law one piece at a time. we need to let em know that's a big no-no.

[Greg Starks]

Kingdiamond must know something we don't... and he actually thinks the Governor wouldn't sign this.

Any updates on this issue?
