Give amnesty to all simple marijuana prisoners who are not involved with guns or hard drugs. As part of a total system of justice reform, we must address the half million dissidents imprisoned for the victimless crime of simple marijuana possession. We need to immediately decriminalize marijuana possession and release these prisoners, granting them amnesty and full return of their Constitutional rights. These folks can then help vote for things like repeal of mandatory drug testing, expanded treatment and counseling, prison education and job training, repeal of the death penalty, and a bunch of other changes that need to happen in this area. A Corporation is Not a Person.
People are more important than profits.
It s obvious that we have to start regulating the unreasonable power and resources wielded by corporate interests. There s a bad piece of policy out there that allows a corporation the same rights as a person, and guarantees its freedom of speech to be exercised through its money. I think big national chain stores need to sell stuff made by locals as cheap as they sell the stuff made in Taiwan, and start giving artists, craftspeople, and small entrepreneurs a chance. We don t need more dead-end jobs, we need more opportunities for people to support themselves by their honest talents and labor, and we need the big corporations to stop gobbling up all the markets and all the resources and putting everybody to work for them. Fix the Veterans Benefit System.
