2008 Boston Freedom Rally : John Cunningham (GOP Candidate for US Congress), Fear Nuttin Band, Keith Saunders on Question 2 Marijuana Decrim Initiative in MA

you guys are pot heads

The year 2009, April 20 is the year of the 2,000,000 man march on Washington for the decriminalization of marijuana and if all goes well the possible legalization under strict control of the US government. We will agree to permit taxation of marijuana to aid our county in economic relief. Pass the word.

I don't understand why he did not endorse Obama. Obama has stated that he inhaled "that was the point", He will not be arresting medical marijuana users as it is not worth the resources and that he would like to change the marijuana laws federally! Come on people don't let the republicans steal the vote again Obama needs to win by a landslide this time! Check YOUR FACTS!

[MikeCANN]

"he would like to change the marijuana laws federally!"

Not true. He did say that he wouldnt have the DEA raid medical marijuana centers in California like the Bush admin has done. He only said this with great pressure on campaign stops from medical users. He said that he would not risk any political capital for medical that has 80% voter support. He is opposed to changing federal marijuana laws! source: Barack Obama and his campaign. Get your facts from them. Ask them. I have & the media has.

[mchicoria]

Except, the raids didn't end on medical facilities and he's against legalization. Check your facts.

[MikeCANN]

And another thing, the 2008 Freedom Rally like always, I like the way all sides were presented. We had Obama supporters like Steve Bloom from Celebstoner speaking on the stage making the case for his candidacy, Republicans making the case against him, and supporters of third parties, all got to speak on their candidates and marijuana reform. No endorsements but from the individuals who spoke. Let the people be heard. That's the Freedom Rally. We invite all candidates to speak on marijuana.

[MikeCANN]

We invite the campaigns and their main supporters too. We care more about marijuana reform than anything else.

[FuhkTheSystem]

Where can i find their music??? Not alot of live band and acoustic going on anymore, music has gone digital, i miss good ol talent

[MikeCANN]

There's a link to all the music in my videos in the description. Fear Nuttin Band are touring so you might be able to get their music at a show in your town. They actually usually play with a full band but I heard them play an acoustic on the radio and had to have them and didn't have enough time on the schedule for a full band...

[visco54]

Good man, common sense, this is a reasonable intelligent individual.

[anonymgrl]

John Cunningham rocks! Crazy to hear common sense and concern for people's freedom out of a candidate's mouth.

Support him. Contribute *something* to his campaign. Send this to your friends and tell them to contribute and pass it on to those they know in MA. We need more people on our side in Washington.

[MikeCANN]

Yes, that's exactly what we are going to do and are doing.

We are making the change that other candidates pretend to care about.

Send this video out, bulletin it, email it to all your friends. His campaign is also on myspace and facebook, so join up with him there if you are on those sites, too.

Thanks for all the comments already. Let's make this video one of the tops on yt.

[DahuiHeeNalu]

great clip wow. i have seen fear nuttin band live with soja a few times so this candidate is real!

[MikeCANN]

Thanks, yes he's real, lost his wife to cancer and she was a medical marijuana user. It's on his campaign site. And Fear Nuttin Band, you know, they are the real deal. Loved them, they killed it. So happy we got lucky to get them at the last minute. We will definitely be inviting them back next year for a full set.

[serjicus]

John Cunningham is like the good version of John McCain.

John McCain the way he should have been.

[MikeCANN]

Yes, the way John McCain should be. Great job John Cunnigham & friends. I met Frank the night before and hung out with him and his gf. Nice people. And I am 100% supporting John Cunningham for Congress. If anybody wants to help the campaign, campaign meetings on thursday nights at 7pm in Revere, MA. You can get the address off his site linked in the video description or send me a message for it. No matter where you live you can contribute whether it's money or promoting him on the internet.

[MikeCANN]

I can't answer that one. Sure I might tend to Obama because he's pandered to some sanity at times but I think he could be more dangerous because he is easier to like. Bush has great powers that he took but right now he can't really do crap with them because the American people don't like him no more, not like they did after 9/11. That keeps him in check. McCain=Bush. Obama people might trust him, he's the same evil with better packaging.

[MikeCANN]

I decided after their first 10 minute set which this is part of that I have to invite them back for a full set with their full band next year. Amazing stuff from Fear Nuttin Band, I'll be posting some more but this time from their second performance of the day.

[Organjic]

WOOT! John Cunningham!

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

Beware the 3rd party call in the presidential election. Strategically telling people not to vote Obama may well let McCain win. We really really really do not want a McCain/Palin administration.

[MikeCANN]

95% of the people at the Rally are from MA. MA is not in contention. It will go strongly for Obama unless some big scandal happens and Obama loses every state. Massachusetts always votes for the Democrat in the election and it's winner take all with each state and the electoral college. In MA, I'm not voting for either McCain or Obama. And as much as I do not support McCain I don't feel Obama will be or is the lesser of evil. Evil is evil. Corporations own and that's all there is to it.

[MikeCANN]

And prior to this video, Steve Bloom of CelebStoner did a five minute speech on why he feels people should support Obama. I'm glad that MassCann/NORML allowed both sides to speak and did not censor any of their speakers in regards to this issue. MassCann/NORML does not endorse candidates. Bost most of us realize that Obama is not a big supporter of our cause. Some feel that he's worth supporting, being the lesser evil but less than half of the hardcore cannabis reform activists that I know

[DahuiHeeNalu]

Im voting 3rd cause that's my freedom to choose.

[MikeCANN]

Me too. I was leaning to writing in Mickey Mouse but I am now pledged to my friend, Bobby Black. I know Bobby Black will do nothing but push for full marijuana legalization. He doesn't expect to win. I will not vote for either of the guys that is going to be the next President.
