Time to vote out those who ignore voters

Over two years ago, Floridian’s passed a Bill that Would Allow Medical Marijuana for Child Seizures.  Status: still not available. Why?

Cannabis is illegal because it’s a dangerous drug that destroys families – FALSE.

Cannabis is illegal because it can treat Cancer, PTSD, seizures, anxiety, glaucoma, and depression, which means no money for pharmaceutical companies. TRUE.

For those who hold elected seats in Tallahassee, the election of 2016 should serve notice that Americans are watching our elected leaders to see if they listen and hear what the voters want – failure to honor the desires of the electorate, regardless of party or how much money the pharmaceutical companies pay you to drag your feet and delay, we are watching and the longer you drag your feet it reminds all those who vote, that it only takes an election to remove you from office.  If you are confused in terms of how to implement, look at either Colorado, which has an amazing model, or Washington DC’s model where gifting an ounce or two is legal. 

Don’t Floridians deserve the same legal rights as those who represent us in Washington DC have (Rubio and Nelson) or maybe use a better model (free enterprise) that Colorado offers.

With Florida’s failing Citrus industry along with the continued pollution of our land and water, Gov. (Toxic) Scott and Tallahassee’s leader’s continued refusal to hold toxic polluters accountable, which only further adds to the decline of Florida, why doesn’t Florida embrace Colorado’s model? 

 

As reported in Time magazine: Colorado Raised More Tax Revenue from Marijuana than from Alcohol – over 70 Million in 2015, of which $40 million dollars goes towards school construction across the state.  Sounds like something Florida desperately needs.  

Why Hope Prevails

As someone who was a disenfranchised voter and labeled a Deplorable along with other such adjectives, simply because I disagreed with the direction and policies of the DNC, HRC and Socialist left; I encourage those who now view themselves as a disenfranchised voter; please do not believe the message that Hope no longer exists. That message is a lie.

If you now find yourself now disenfranchised, you should rejoice and be of good cheer since as long as we preserve, protect and defend Our Constitution and the Electoral College, of Our Republic, there will always be Hope that the disenfranchised voter will be heard, respected and allowed the opportunity to peacefully decide the direction of Our Country, as occurred in the 2016 election.

Study the Electoral College and our Constitution since we are the only Country that was designed to protect the disenfranchised voter.

Think about it – if Germany, Italy, or Russia for example, had such a mechanism in place to protect its disenfranchised people, do you think Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin or similar tyrants, would have been in power as long as they were since it was mob rule that kept them in power – however history has shown us that since such a mechanism was not in place, thus it required a vast and bloody global effort to overthrow their respective governments in effort for them to regain their Freedoms.

In closing, regardless if you consider yourself an Independent, Democratic, or Republican, let us unite and celebrate our Republic on 20 January since it is not about one person, it is about Us as Americans, who have the Hope and Freedom to choose. If in 4 years or more we as American’s do not like the direction and policies of the new Administration, then together once again, We can vote for change.

Historic lesson of the Electoral College.

First we need to understand the purpose of the Electoral College, which is that it protects the rights of the disenfranchised voter.  How does it do this? By protecting voters from the tyranny of the majority, encourages collation building, and Discourages voter fraud.

Thus, regardless of how much money is spent on disinformation efforts, fake news, fear of reprisal and intimidation, then we should all be rejoicing that the founders of our Republic had the wisdom to protect the voice and vote of the disenfranchised voter. 

While the race baiters, hate mongers and socialists want to continue to distract us from the fact that Americans, regardless of political affiliation, regardless of gender, and regardless sexual preference, regardless of religious preference or race, that for the first time in history Americans united together to jointly rejected the policies and direction the country was heading in. 

In short, the results of the Electoral College showed America that despite the millions of dollars spent on disinformation and lies, intimidation efforts, and Fake news and efforts to corrupt and delegitimize the election process; The Truth is that Americans came together and decided to reject the policies and direction the Democratic Socialists were taking Our Country.

As someone who was called a Deplorable, among other adjectives, I beg you Please do not believe the lies of no Hope because as long as we stand together to preserve the Electoral College and Our Republic then we protect the vote of the disenfranchised and ultimately Hope is protected and preserved. 

Yes we can America, in fact we just did.  We joined together to preserve our Republic despite our differences.

So let’s celebrate Our Republic together as Americans.

Yes on 2

As a young Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps I was assigned an additional duty to be my Battalion’s Substance Abuse Control Officer or SACO. The privilege of being assigned the duty of SACO one was taught everything the Government knew on controlled substances to include Marijuana.  Looking back some 30 plus years, it surprises me that the Government and the FEAR Mongers messages has not changed, yet much has been learned about this substance over the past 3 decades such as there are:

·       over34 medical studies that prove cannabis cures cancer

·       is proven and preferred treatment over drugs for

o   PTSD, Pain

o   Arthritis The ancient Chinese can't be wrong: cannabis may be able to "undo" rheumatism.

o   treatment for Alcoholism, Diabetes, Cannabis can help reduce blood sugar, improve blood pressure, and, when used in the kitchen, is incredibly heart-healthy.

o   treatment for Opioid addiction

·       And the list of benefits goes on while not a single death is attributed to a marijuana overdose according to the CDC, contrary to what the FEAR Mongers would like you to think.

With all of this recent science why has the FEAR monger’s message not changed; one has to ask why? 

Did you know that our Government has a cannabis Patent No.6630507, that covers the use of cannabinoids for treating a wide range of diseases and can explain why some are doing everything they it can to delay Medical Marijuana until Big Pharma can develop manmade drug(s) to do what Marijuana already does; and we all have seen what happens to drug prices. 

That is why I am asking all Compassionate Floridians to Vote Yes on Amendment 2.   Please support hurting Floridians and not pad the wallets of Big Pharma.

Mulberry, the Worst Nuclear Waste Accident in the history of the United States

Mulberry, the Worst Nuclear Waste Accident in the history of the United States

As a comparatively new comer to Florida, I, like most new residents, are unaware of the environmental dangers facing not only Florida’s water, but the drinking water of the entire East Coast of the USA. 

I wasn’t aware that the Mulberry Sinkhole was the 2^nd gypsum stack failure, the first was at Piney Point, of which the State authorized the pumping/dumping the radioactive toxic waste from Piney Point into the Gulf. 

I was not aware that Florida has at least 1 Billion Tons of radioactive phosphogypsum with an additional 30 million tons added annually, of which Florida doesn’t know what to do with.  

Yet Governor “Toxic” Scott and “Take the money and Run” Pam Bondi, continue to lobby to bring 22 new Phosphate mining operations, as well as Fracking, to Florida.

It is time to tell Governor “Toxic” Scott and our local, State and Federal elected officials, that enough is enough!  2 of the 22 gypsum sites have already failed. 

Not to mention that, No One is monitoring the abandoned mines/dump sites left exposed to Florida’s extreme weather that continue to drain into our environment unchecked.

It is time to BAN all Phosphate, Uranium, Fracking operations in Florida UNTIL the Billion tons of phosphogypsum and radioactive tailings from all mines, have been safely removed from Florida (and NOT dumped into our oceans), and our watershed returned to its original state.

It is time for the Federal Government to require the monitoring of ALL water sources for radioactive materials and publicly post results to keep residents informed.

Piney Point disaster, and now Mulberry sinkhole failures, amount to the Worst Nuclear Waste Accidents in the History of the United States that will impact Millions of American Citizens well into the future.

Very interesting Bit of Legislative History: 

McCarran-Walter Act of 1952

Donald Trump was recently severely criticized for suggesting that the U.S. should limit or temporarily suspend the immigration of certain ethnic groups, nationalities, and even people of certain religions (Muslims).  The criticisms condemned such a suggestion as, among other things, being “Un-American,” dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous and racist.  Congressmen and Senators swore that they would never allow such legislation, and Obama called such a prohibition on immigration unconstitutional .

As Gomer Pyle would say, “Surprise, Surprise!!!”  It seems that the selective immigration ban is already law and has been applied on several occasions.  The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, a.k.a., the McCarran-Walter Act allows for the "Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by the president”.  Whenever the president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

Note that McCarran and Walter were Democrats and this act was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States … but he actually did more.  He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a bunch.  Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States in 1979. You won't hear a word about this from the liberal media, propaganda machine.

It is of note that the act requires that an applicant for immigration ”must be of good moral character” and "attached to the principles of the Constitution.” 

Since the Quran forbids Muslims to swear allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, technically, all Muslims should be refused immigration.
