MASSACHUSETTS

FOR GOVERNOR:DEMOCRAT DEVAL PATRICK refused to provide us with any answers when asked about ANY drug-law reform ideas he has so (nor could I find any drug-law reform ideas of his anywhere). Voters of the Myspace Vote2006 Army watched PATRICK at a candidates debate and PATRICK SAID HE OPPOSED MARIJUANA LAW REFORM! Since Patrick will likely be the Governor, he will need to be convinced.


I endorse GREEN PARTY candidate for Governor GRACE ROSS.


For US SENATE; I ENDORSE EDWARD KENNEDY (DEMOCRAT) .

US REPRESENTATIVES FROM MASSACHUSETTS, A NOTE:
The Democrats of Massachusetts scored the highest state average of the 50 states in our US House survey. Barney Frank, John Olver, Jim McGovern, Jim Tierney, all scored 140 – 160 points, Frank was the second best US Representative over all, Olver the fourth, McGovern and Tierney in the top ten out of 435 Representatives. The Massachusetts Democratic Reps sponsored many med-pot bills, drug war reform bills, and deserve our commitment to their re-election. Only Stephen F. Lynch, in Mass. 9th district, is a weak link in the best state Congressional delegation in the USA.


LOCAL MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION QUESTIONS ON BALLOT:
Three Boston area districts have a ballot question on marijuana.

>>>
Smoke signals: Some local voters can weigh in on state marijuana laws
By SUE SCHEIBLE
The Patriot Ledger

Voters in three legislative districts south of Boston will be asked their views on marijuana in the Nov. 7 election.

The questions are non-binding public-policy questions sponsored by the Drug Policy Forum of Massachusetts, a nonprofit statewide group. For seven years, the group has, in selected districts, been sponsoring ballot questions on easing marijuana laws.

Voters in the 7th Norfolk District will be asked: ‘‘Shall the state representative from this district be instructed to vote in favor of legislation that would allow seriously ill patients, with their doctor’s written recommendation, to possess and grow small amounts of marijuana for their personal medical use?’’

Rep. Walter F. Timilty, a Democrat, represents the district, which consists of Precincts 2 and 5 through 19 in Milton and Precincts 1, 2, 4, 7 and 8 in Randolph. It is Question 4 on the ballot in that district but is not on the statewide ballot.

It takes 200 signatures to place non-binding questions of public policy on a ballot.

A ballot question concerning marijuana will also be on the ballot in the 1st and the 12th Plymouth Districts. It will ask: ‘‘Shall the state representative from this district be instructed to vote in favor of legislation that would make possession of less than one ounce of marijuana a civil violation, subject to a maximum fine of $100 and not subject to any criminal penalties? ‘‘

The 1st Plymouth District consists of Plymouth’s Precincts 2 through 10, 12 and 14.

The 12th Plymouth District consists of Kingston, Plympton, Precincts 1 and 6 in Duxbury, Precinct 1 in Halifax, Precincts 1, 11 and 13 in Plymouth, and Precincts 1 and 5 in Middleboro.

In five South Shore towns, a majority of the residents who cast ballots in the 2004 election were in favor of letting seriously ill people use medical marijuana. Abington, Whitman, East Bridgewater, Canton and Stoughton all passed the non-binding ballot question, which received 71 percent of the vote in the 6th Norfolk and 7th Plymouth Districts.

In 2004, a similar questions was approved in Cohasset, Hingham, Hull and Scituate. Voters in the 3rd Plymouth District were asked whether possession of one ounce of marijuana should be considered a civil offense, like a traffic ticket, instead of a criminal offense. In those four towns, nearly 69 percent of voters approved the question.

The drug reform group argues that decriminalization would result in significant savings for law enforcement agencies because of reduced court time.

In 2002, a similar question was approved in the 5th Plymouth District, which consists of Rockland, Hanover and Norwell.

The Drug Policy Forum of Massachusetts says the results of voting on its ballot questions over the past seven years show that most Massachusetts voters are ready for drug-law changes.

LOCAL ENDORSEMENT IN MASSACHUSETT:

Keep in mind there are two Stephen Lynch's running for office in Massachusetts.

Stephen F. Lynch is a sitting US congressmen running as a Democrat in District 9 for re-election who is the one very bad US REP from Massachusetts. This Stephen F. Lynch does not support marijuana-law reform.

The other, Stephen A. Lynch running for the State Senate (Beacon Hill) supports marijuana reform. Vote Stephen A. Lynch Democrat over the sitting Republican State Senator Robert Hedlund who does not support us in Weymouth, Hingham, Cohasett, Norwell and other South Shore towns.

Hedlund, Lynch tackle the issues
By Kathryn Koch/ kkoch@cnc.com

The failure of the state's affordable housing law, the legalization of marijuana and college tuition for illegal aliens were three of the hot-button topics that set off the debate between state Senate candidates.

In a live debate on WATD radio Monday night, state Sen. Robert Hedlund, R-Weymouth, faced off against Democratic challenger and Marshfield resident Stephen A. Lynch.

Lynch described himself as a small-business owner, father and grandfather, an average citizen who will step in and have the guts to take a stand on even the most unpopular issues.
"I am one of you," he said. "I am not a tax and spend Beacon Hill insider."

While it may not be a popular position to take, Lynch said he supports what he calls the decriminalization of marijuana possession. He said law enforcement agencies are wasting their time and wasting taxpayer money going after people for drug possession and ignoring the need for serious rehabilitation programs.
Hedlund said the federal government governs what drugs are illegal and the role of law enforcement in the so-called war on drugs. He said he wouldn't support a bill legalizing marijuana, although he said he has heard that marijuana may have some medicinal value for people suffering from serious illnesses.<<< --- end reprint

RHODE ISLAND

FOR US SENATE:
I ENDORSE DEMOCRAT SHELDON WHITEHOUSE who supports medical marijuana access. Here is a question from Epluribusmedia.com to Sheldon Whitehouse from a 2005 interview:

ePluribus Media: We hear all the time about the dangers of alcohol, of drinking and driving, of cocaine and heroin addiction. There is abuse of legally prescribed drugs, such as Oxycontin, amphetamines, even steroids. At the government level, there are methadone clinics, alcohol-recovery programs, needle-exchange programs -- but we never hear of anyone being addicted to or dying from marijuana use. Would you support legislation that would legalize and regulate marijuana strictly for medicinal purposes?

SHELDON WHITEHOUSE: If a licensed physician believes that medical marijuana is in the best interest of the patient, I believe he or she should be allowed to prescribe it.

4) approve a $287 million transfer from the BYRNE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE FEDERAL GRANTS program to anti-drug task forces in the states

Maurice Hinchey is proud sponsor of three pending bills AND the annual attempt to stop the Justice Dept from undermining state medical marijuana laws -HINCHEY-ROHRABACHER AMENDMENT. The bills Hinchey is a sponsor of that have yet to come before a vote in the 109th Congress are:
* H.R. 1184 - The Rise Act. This is a bill that would repeal the section of the Higher Education Act that prohibits people convicted of drug offences from receiving student financial assistance.
* The States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act. This is a very important bill would reclassify marijuana as a schedule 2 drug, allowing states to enact medical marijuana laws without federal interference.
* H.R. 4272 - Steve McWilliams Truth in Trials Act. This bill will allow an affirmative medical marijuana defense in federal or state courts where such states have a legislated medical marijuana program.

MAURICE HINCHEY has a deceptively low score. I HIGHLY ENDORSE MAURICE HINCHEY as one of the most valuable allies we have in Congress. He deserves to be RE-ELECTED and I urge you to volunteer and campaign for him.

FOR US SENATOR: I endorse the DEMOCRAT BOB CASEY, JR. to defeat incumbent RICK SANTORUM. Here is what Santorum wrote a voter in the MYspace_Vote2006_Army;

Subject: Responding to your message.

October 2, 2006

Dear Mr. Ciaravino:

Thank for contacting me regarding the legalization of marijuana. I appreciate hearing from you and having the benefit of your views.

I am adamantly opposed to the legalization of marijuana and other illegal narcotics. I believe that this would lead to increased
drug usage, especially among young people. While it is true that
many Americans blatantly defy federal laws against the trafficking, sale, and use of illegal drugs, I believe a greater number of people are deterred from illegal drug use by the threat of arrest and prosecution.

Narcotics like heroin and cocaine were made illegal because they
are highly addictive and many times result in fatal overdoses.
Marijuana, too, has negative effects often resulting in damage to
the portion of the brain which controls learning, memory, and
sensory experiences. It produces lung damage five times greater than one cigarette and it also increases heart rate and blood pressure.

It is easy to say that when a person chooses to use addictive drugs that it is simply a choice that effects them alone. This is not the case, though. Illegal drug use affects everyone in society
because it spawns irresponsible and uncontrolled behavior, criminal activity, and poor health conditions which are paid for many times over by the taxpayer. For these reasons, I believe that the drugs which are currently illegal should remain illegal. I am committed to maintaining the federal government's role in the "war on drugs", which is fought on many fronts by federal agents, local law enforcement, substance abuse counselors, teachers, parents, and concerned citizens.

I hope this provides a better perspective of my views. If I can
assist you with any matters in the future, please feel free to
contact me again.
Sincerely, Rick Santorum, United States Senate <<<<
