Well that's great, excepting that I don't believe any state has the power to dictate what you can and cannot smoke in your backyard. Arizona gave you the right to smoke cannabis? wonderful, you shouldn't need permission from them or the federal government in first place. Ron Paul wants the state governments to dictate what you can and cannot do in your backyard. Just because the federal government is out of the picture doesn't mean your rights are fully protected.

we have state issued green cards that allow us to do so. The people voted for it. The federal government of course doesn't see it that way.

And what about other states? You think the federal government doesn't always see what's best for the people, but do you think all state goverments do? I beg to differ. You argue that your state government knew what's best for you in this case, so we'll equate this by assuming that all state governments no what's best for us. Right.

Fascism at a state level, I see it no different.

Man, are you serious? The state allowed it, because they HAD to, the people voted for it. We voted for it two more times before and they overturned it because the federal government pressured them to do so, and the third time they could no longer deny the will of the people. You see, in the states, the majority vote of the people counts. If the federal government didn't try and pressure the states to ignore the will of the people, it wouldn't have taken three elections. For a small fee, you get your card, and the state sees now they can generate revenues this way. They like it, as I'm sure most states will.

Many of the MSM critics still discount any possibility of Ron Paul to be a contender in the Republican primary because he is Libertarian and will not be able to get enough votes from most party liners. I hope we can prove them wrong. We need to inform others and get them to register Republican for the primary vote.

I am afraid Donald Trump will jump in as an Independant if Ron Paul is able to get the Republican ticket to split the party and support Obama.

The Ron Paul Online Poll Spam Team was out in full force last night.

Congratulations to Ron Paul for winning another ONLINE poll!

If he was running for President of the Internet, he would win hands down.
