Obama can say things, that doesn't mean he'll follow through with them after he has a nice meeting with some lobbyists to change his mind. *Edit* Which is true with any modern president. | ||

He also said they wouldn't pursue federal laws over state laws and now they're trying to steal land away from LEGAL medical marijuana grow ops in Cali. No one in this government is as good as their word, its all about the money machine. | ||

Remember this is the same entity that made drinking illegal, weed possession criminalized, prevented the rights of minorities and women for over 100 years, allowed the enslavement and trade of people, and currently thinks wiretapping is legal. Pretty much every government has done or currently does these things, the US is by far not alone in this respect. I hopw you guys in the US can oppose this bill, it will clearly have repercussions acorss the entire world. EDIT: OK, the UK has never outlawed drinking afaik. (The notion of it!) | ||

The money controls the media and therefore the money controls the candidates for the voting positions. The common vote has no weight due to the senate, house and electorial college. The money given to promote their campaigns is then held over their heads as leverage while laws are changed so they can steal more money from the poor. | ||

Use phrases like: internet freedom, needless regulation, and getting government out of my personal life to articulate your point and throw job killer in there somewhere for a cherry on top, then any congress person will listen to you, either right left or in the middle. Now get off your metaphorical ass( I want you to stay in your seat) and write an email angrily to your elected representative in Washington. That is the least you can do! NOW DO IT Edit :spelling ill just fake it to help you guys out  | ||
