NORML PSA: Ask Rep Lamar Smith to Give Ending Fed. Marijuana Prohibition Act a Hearing!

www.norml.org - On June 23rd, the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2011 was introduced into the House of Represenatives. Now the chairman of its assigned committee, the House Committee on the Judiciary, is stating he will not allow the bill to come up for a hearing. NORML's audience reached out to Rep. Smith only to have all their comments deleted and being blocked from his Facebook page. So we decided to start calling..

Please vote for Ron Paul in 2012. Smith thinks he's God - he's not! He's just an ignorant, corrupt tool of Big Business. He must be removed from any position of power.

This biggot needs to be assasinated. if his SOPA gets his way, the internet as we know it will revert back to what it was 20 years ago. Our goverment wants to control every single american.If he gets his way with SOPA Taking a shit in your own toilet will soon be copyright infringement and you will get the electric chair for doing it.

This guy, Smith, is our enemy, fellow internet users! We must unite as a community to ensure that he does not gain any political office!

You guys, this is the same person who is trying to pass this stupid censorship act for the internet. We're lucky they are even holding a hearing for that. My point is though is that the opponents aren't even allowed at the hearing. So, he doesn't even care what the opponents think. He's just ignorant and we need to make sure he doesn't get into office again.

Lawyers get on this

3) The DEA would have to do real Work and their numbers would get smaller as there would not be as great a need for as many Agents.

4) Pot is bulky and easy to detect giving the Police easy Targets to make them look good when they find a Big Load

5) It makes the Police Forces in EVERY City State and Federal Agencies Bigger to Fight The WAR ON DRUGS

6) The Alcohol Industry has lots of Money to keep Pot from becoming available as many would rather get High and still be able to Funtion
