Time is running out on the possibility of getting Cannabis legislation pushed through the Arkansas congress this session! We haven't found a senator with the balls to step up and sponsor the dog gone bill. Oh many of them support the idea and would vote for it if was can find a sponsor to file the bill. Without someone to sponsor the bill, we are stuck waiting until 2012 and that means walking the streets and gathering signatures for get a bill on the ballot assuming that we can get it pass the Arkansas state attorney general. We just need to get someone to step up and say this is what the people want! We are tired of the Republican party policies, the Democratic party's policies ruining our country. Obviously, the two parties (Democrats & Republicans) don't pay attention to the people of our nation as a whole. They damn sure listen to the corporate interests handing out cash! If they did listen to the real people of the nation, many things would be different.
So, given our current situation, the solution should begin with taking corporate interests out of the political environment. Any government bills granting special powers to corporations should be voted on by the people, after all the many they are being given is taxpayer funds to begin with. Eliminate corporate donations to individual candidates. Corporate donations could go into a general fund divided evenly among all running candidates for that particular office regardless of party affiliation.
Someone in the Arkansas legislature has to have the guts to stand up for the people that they are supposed to be representing and make a stand. The people of Arkansas don't really have a voice in the state government. Senators and Representative alike, they listen but the legislation being introduced is contrary to what those of us that have called in have been suggesting. What the lawmakers fail to understand is that every one of them that oppose the will of the people will be voted out as their term expires, if we have any say in it. If this opportunity is passed over I will lobby against every seated politician and support anyone that will listen to the people and get the medical cannabis bill passed.
