I thought the whole idea of this "change.gov" web site was to help You give America back to the American's. I thought you needed True Americans to come up with ideas on how America was going to fix itself. Yet, it seems as though you are completely ignoring what the American people want. The economy, the environment, health care, along with many of the additional issues can be QUICKLY SOLVED with what the major majorety of the American citizens want. Over 80% of Americans want Marijuana to be legalized. Those are the Change.gov statistics themselves, and not some "off the wall pot-head" website. Please allow me to show you the Facts of what
WILL be solved with the legalization of Marijuana.
THE ECONOMY : Marijuana alone is a trillion dollor buisness. Over 10 states report Marijuana as being the top cash crop of that state. Political Economist will argue that thier dollor amount is in the Billions and not the Trillions. But the major things they are not taking in to consideration is that only 40% of American Marijuana users admitt to useing Marijuana out of parinoia from ramafacations of stating that they use Marijuana. Not only is Marijuana a trillion dollor buisness on it's own, we haven't even added in the tax factors.
ENERGY : Marijuana makes a higher effeciancy bio-fuel of any type of bio-fuel available. Useing corn as a bio-fuel formost will be takeing much needed food from our starving children of America. The use of algi as fuel is very time consuming and very expencive. The use of any other types of bio-fuel have just as much of a down fall if not more. The veggitables and other bio-fuels NEED Toxic Chemicals used on them for pest controle and fertalization.. As for useing Marijuana as a Bio-fuel it NEEDS NO chemicals for pest controle or fertalization. As far as Marijuana being cost effective in the production of energy, the crop yield of Marijuana is four times greater then any other bio-fuel.
ENVIRONMENT : Again, Marijuana needs no chemicals for pest control. Not only does Marijuana not need fetalizer, Marijuana REPLENISHES the soil nutrients as it grows. As for Global Warming, the Marijuana plant absorbes 78% more CO2 then any other plant grown in America.
HEALTH CARE : It has been proven again and again that Marijuana has madicinal factors binificial to man kind. 80% of all perscription drugs would not be needed if Marijuana was used instead. The THC in Marijuana has also proven itself to safely CURE cancer, Notice I said CURE, and not TREAT. Not only has it proven to CURE cancer, it also has proven to stimulate brain cell growth.THC has also proven to Cure Breast cancer, Lung Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Colon Cancer and many more too numerouse for me to list here and now. Visit
www.phoenixtears.ca and watch "RUN FROM THE CURE". Something else I would like for you to look into, How did Kennedy get rid of his brain tumors? So many times the FDA uses the excusse that Marijuana has no madicinal values to it and thier "alternatives" to Marijuana are much safer. Lets look at some facts ..
Between Jan. 1st. 1997 threw June 30th of 2005. Only ONE person has died, and yet there is only speculation that Marijuana killed this ONE person. YET, durring the same time frame and only looking at seventeen of the "FDA's APPROVED DRUGS. 11,687 people have died from the use of these 17 FDA approved drugs. Is the FDA really doing thier job? Does the FDA really care about the well being of Americans. OR does the FDA only worry about keeping the rich, rich and the poor sick?
TECHNOLOGY: The metals and plastics made from the Marijuana plant are stronger then any plastic or metals we use today. Not only are they strong, but they are 100% recyclable and biodegradable. Did you know the very first Ford car was made of Marijuana? It's true, the car known as the Model "A" was entirely built from Marijuana.
HOMELAND SECURITY : If you gave the American people what they truely want, more and more would be willing to die to save the America they love....
Dear Presedent, none of these facts are new, they have just been hidden by propaganda. Dear Mr President, Do you truely care what Americans want or are you just another in the long line of lies that We as American's have come to expect? Please show you have what it truely takes to lead an America that we can be proud of again.
I hope my misspelling did not confuse you in anyway. But I'm sure that if you are the MAN you claim to be, you will not use that as an excuss to blow off this letter...
