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;

>>>From: SenatorSantorum@santorum.senate.gov
To: mciaravino@usa.com
Subject: Responding to your message.
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 17:38:01 -0400
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 <<<<

7) oppose an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly, and

ALLYSON SCHWARTZ is a modest failure. Bad on Hinchey Amendment. Voted against the war though. There is just her and the Republican. Pennsylvania Republicans average less than a quarter of what ALLYSON SCHWARTZ scored. Think about that awful statistic.

TIM MURPHY scored ZERO points and is graded TOXIC/EVIL, the worst of all possible grades.

TIM MURPHY VOTED WRONG on TEN OUT OF TEN VOTES in the House of Representatives. He is a heartless sack of shit, of this there is no doubt.

For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as TIM MURPHY of PENNSYLVANIA's 18th District and 66 other US Reps did ? they would have voted to:

2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment

DELAWARE
19711
For US SENATOR from DELAWARE: I endorse GREEN PARTY candidate MICHAEL BERG. The Democrat Tom Carper is ahead by a huge margin, but I believe support for Peace candidate Berg, who's son was killed in Iraq, is important.

The US REPRESENTATIVE is MICHAEL CASTLE, a REPUBLICAN. Delaware has two Senators but only one US Rep.

MICHAEL CASTLE received 50 points, a FAILING grade, voting CORECTLY ONLY TWO of TEN VOTES.

MICHAEL CASTLE VOTED CORRECTLY TO;
1) oppose a $25 million increase in anti-marijuana government propaganda, and
4) oppose a $287 million transfer in BYRNE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE FEDERAL GRANTS to anti-drug task forces in the states.

MICHAEL CASTLE voted WRONGLY to:
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to undermine legislated medical marijuana statutes in California and other states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
5) spray poisons over the rain forest in Colombia (PLAN COLOMBIA),
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

MICHAEL CASTLE has failed the promise of a just AMERICA, and failed DELAWARE and should be defeated.

I urge you to support the Democratic candidate DENNIS SPIVACK to defeat Castle.

MARYLAND

FOR US SENATOR from MARYLAND;
I ENDORSE KEVIN ZEESE, candidate for the LIBERTARIAN, GREEN and POPULIST PARTY. KEVIN ZEESE has worked for years in the drug-law reform movement in Washington, DC and is exceptionally high rated for your vote for US SENATOR. The Democrat candidate for US Senate BEN CARDIN had the worst record of all EIGHT Maryland US REPS, worse than even than the two REPUBLICANS US REPS from Maryland. DO NOT VOTE FOR BEN CARDIN, who, while US REP for the 3rd district, was the only one of eight Maryland Reps who DID NOT VOTE yes on VOTE 2 - Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment. Screw him! Its unfortunate that the runner-up in the Democratic primary, an African-American former US rep from Maryland Kweisi Mfume, had a much better record in the Congress and would have been a great Senator.

FOR GOVERNOR: I endorse the incumbent REPUBLICAN ROBERT ERLICH, who was in Congress in the 2001-2002 session before becoming governor and was co-sponsor of the States Rights to Medical Marijuana Act which has never passed in Congress but comes up every session. Erlich also supported but did not pass (by one vote in the Maryland Senate) a Maryland measure to make an affirmative medical marijuana defence punishable by a $100 fine.

Maryland - 1st District

Your US Representative is WAYNE GILCHREST, a REPUBLICAN in Maryland's 1st District.

GILCHREST VOTED WRONG EIGHT out of TEN votes,
Voting CORRECTLY TO;
1) oppose a bill to spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads, and
4) to oppose a $287 million increase in Byrne anti-drug task force federal grants to corrupt state police depts.

WAYNE GILCHREST voted WRONGLY to;
2) endorse the Justice Dept. hounding and arresting the sick & dying in med-pot states by voting AGAINST Hinchey-Rorhabacher Amendment,
3) give power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
5) spray poisons over the rain forest in Colombia (PLAN COLOMBIA),
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) massively expand the government bureaucracy (HOMELAND SECURITY),
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act) , and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

WAYNE GILCHREST has FAILED Maryland, and I URGE YOU TO CAMPAIGN AND VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE JIM CORWIN.

Your US Representative is DUTCH RUPPERSBERGER, A Democrat.

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

RUPPERBERGER got two votes right, perhaps the two most important votes in our survey, Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment and the WAR IN IRAQ.

Eight wrong votes is alot to tolerate let alone endorse. The two Republicans scored higher than RUPPERSBERGER. I guess you could support him because vote 2 & 7 are very important.

Maryland - 3rd District

Cardin voted wrong on Hinchey-Rohrabacher and in total can not be recommended.

The 3rd District seat is OPEN and I nonetheless recommend the DEMOCRAT JOHN SARBANES.

ALBERT WYNN is also sponsor of the drug-law reform pending bill;
* H.R. 2620 - No More Tulias: Drug Law Evidentiary Standards Improvement Act. This bill would prohibit federal grants to anti-drug task forces noted for corruption, use of informers and planted evidence. Would require states to pass laws preventing drug convictions based solely on allegations of informers or undercover agents.

ALBERT WYNN is good on cannabis issues and war and torture issues. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VOTING FOR ALBERT WYNN FOR US REPRESENTATIVE.

4) oppose a $287 million increase in Byrne anti-drug task force federal grants
5) reduce the spraying of poison over the Colombian rainforest (PLAN COLOMBIA),
6) oppose the massive police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT

What is promising about BARTLETT is his vote for HINCHEY-RORHABACHER, which is the most important vote in Congress as concerns medical marijuana.

Therefore I recommend supporting and voting for ROSCOE BARTLETT. I would even mention to his campaign staff that his vote on HINCHEY-ROHRABACHER Amendment got your vote.

And there are no other candidates for US Rep other than the Republican. DAN MANSELL is the Republican.

North Carolina - 6th District

Your US REPRESENTATIVE is HOWARD COBLE, A REPUBLICAN, from NORTH CAROLINA's 6th District.

HOWARD COBLE scored 5 points, graded a shade over from TOXIC/EVIL to land at the low end of REPREHENSIBLE FAILURE. COBLE VOTED CORRECTLY ONCE out of TEN VOTES, and that saved him from being irredeemably evil, to merely reprehensible in the extreme.

One NORTH CAROLINA Democrat (Mike McIntyre) from the district over, 7th district, received a ZERO point score, one of only two DEMOCRATS in the whole US House to get a toxic evil rating (65 Republicans rated toxic/evil). Melvin Watt, a Democrat in the 12th District, received a score of 120, an A grade, the highest in North Carolina, so NC Democrats can range from TOXIC EVIL to "A". The NC Republican US Reps received a FAILING, REPREHENSIBLE or EVIL GRADE, with one Republican squeaking through a pass grade at D-.

AND, North Carolina, along with Alabama, has the most punishing ballot access rules in America. To get a Green Party candidate or a Libertarian Party candidate on the ballots in North Carolina, you need 107,000 signatures correctly submitted.

I urge you to support and campaign for RORY BLAKE, DEMOCRAT.

North Carolina - 7th District

Your US Representative is MIKE McINTYRE, a DEMOCRAT.

MIKE McINTYRE scored ZERO points, a TOXIC EVIL grade. MIKE McINTYRE is one of only two Democrats in the entire 435 member HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES to get a TOXIC EVIL grade.

10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

MIKE McINTYRE is the Devil's Agent in Washington, a traitor to his party and the principles of a just & free United States.

His Republican opponent is an improvement if she agrees to any one of our ten votes surveyed. Someone call SHIRLEY DAVIS, the Republican, and find out what you can. Alas, Republican women score even lower than Republican men on average. Republican women in the HOUSE averaged 21 out of 185 points, the worst of any gender, party or racial group. Republican women REPS are bad ass bitches!

North Carolina - 11th District
28736, 28786

TAYLOR scored 60 points, a D- grade. Its the worst you can get while passing our survey but it is a pass.

TAYLOR VOTED WRONG SEVEN out of TEN votes,
Correct THREE times out of TEN
Voting properly to:
1) oppose a bill to spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads, and
4) to oppose an increase in Byrne anti-drug task force federal grants
6) oppose the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,

That?s enough to get 60 points.

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act). , and
10) keep a torture school (School of the Americas) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Charles Taylor receives a passing grade, one of only 16 Republicans to achieve a passing grade. Normally, I don't reference adversaries of ANY US Rep who achieved a passing grade (168 Passing grades and 265 Failing grades), but the DEMOCRAT is HEATH SHULER, a former NFL Football Player. I would recommend you inquire as to Mr. Shuler's position on drug law reform and get back to me. CHARLES TAYLOR's vote against (VOTE 2) Hinchey-Rorhabacher Amendment is damning.

The race is neck and neck, with each side within 3% right now of each other.

South Carolina - 3rd District

Your US Representative is GRESHAM BARRETT, a REPUBLICAN.

GRESHAM BARRETT scored ZERO points out of 185 possible, for a TOXIC/EVIL grade.
GRESHAM BARRETT is total evil. He is a southern cracker if there ever was one. BARRETT VOTED WRONG TEN OUT OF TEN VOTES.

For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as GRESHAM BARRETT of SC's 3rd District and 66 other US Reps did ? they would have voted to:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

I urge you to vote for the DEMOCRAT WILLIAM GRIFFITH

South Carolina - 5th District

Your US Representative is JOHN SPRATT, a DEMOCRAT.

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

JOE SPRATT, being a white Democrat from the South, is suspected of being a closet Republican , as most white Democrat US REPS from the South have a tendency to be. As in North Carolina, white US Reps from South Carolina vote evil most every time.

You can only trust the black man to uphold our liberties. All 40 African-American US Reps had outstanding scores, averaging a 106 point (A-) score. Which brings us to South Carolina's only US REP who is any damn good...

South Carolina - 6th District

Your US Representative is JAMES CLYBURN, a DEMOCRAT.

JAMES CLYBURN scored 100 points, a B-PLUS grade. Jim CLYBURN VOTED CORRECTLY SIX VOTES OF TEN TO:

CLYBURN is also a sponsor of ONE pending drug reform bill;

* H.R. 1184 - The Rise Act. This is a bill that would repeal part of the Higher Education Act that prohibits people convicted of drug offences from receiving student financial assistance.

JAMES CLYBURN is the only one of two African-Americans (of 40!) in the House that failed to vote for HINCHEY-ROHRABACHER Amendment. Which is disappointing although inconsistent so someone should call CLYBURN or email him and ask "WHAT HAPPENED ON YOUR VOTE FOR HINCHEY AMENDMENT?"

Good on foreign affairs, War, and torture schools.

GEORGIA
For GOVERNOR: I ENDORSE LIBERTARIAN GARRETT MICHAEL HAYES. GARRETT HAYES endorses legalization of marijuana

FOR US REPRESENTATIVES:

Georgia elects thirteen (13) US Representatives. Of the six Democrat US REPS from Georgia, four voted YES on Hinchey-Rohrabacher, two voted no. Three of the six Democrats got failing grades, one was TOXIC/EVIL. All seven Republicans voted NO to the Hinchey Amendment. Five of the seven Republicans from Georgia received a ZERO -TOXIC EVIL- grade!!!! All 7 Republicans got a failing grade or worse! Georgia has the worst state delegation (average 4 points per REP!) of Republicans after Nebraska (whose three Republicans averaged ZERO).

There are no Libertarians or Greens running in Georgia for the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Why? Look at the requirements to be on the ballot:
Term Length: 2 years
Filing Fee: $4,353.00
Election Date: November 7, 2006
District(s): 13 (Congressional Map Whole State, Congressional Map Metro Atlanta)
Age Requirements: 25 years
Residency Requirements: Must be a Georgia resident
Misc. Requirements: US citizen for 7 years (Must be a registered voter)
Ballot Access Requirements: Signatures from 5% of registered voters. (NOT REQUIRED OF REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS)

To run as a Green or Libertarian you have to sign up 5% of all the registered voters in your federal district. Thats at least 5,000 signatures. Plus $4,353.00 filing fee.

This is an appalling situation. Georgia democracy (term used loosely) sucks ass.

Georgia - 1st District

Your US Representative is JACK KINGSTON, a REPUBLICAN.

JACK KINGSTON scored 20 points, a REPREHENSIBLE FAILURE grade.
JACK KINGSTON VOTED WRONG NINE OF TEN VOTES,
VOTING PROPERLY TO:
4) Oppose a $287 million transfer to state anti-drug task forces under the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants program. State police use this money to round up minorities using informers and snitches and have jailed hundreds of innocents under this program.

JACK KINGSTON VOTED WRONGLY TO:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
5) spray poisons over the rain forest in Colombia (PLAN COLOMBIA),
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

JACK KINGSTON sucks ass. He ought to be defeated.

Georgia Democrats are a mixed bag. If the US REP is a white guy of either the REPUBLICANS or DEMOCRATS, he probably sucks big time. Hard to trust whitey when they are from the Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska. Almost to a man, these REPs vote like southern or cornhusker "Crackers". With this in mind, I nonetheless urge you to VOTE for DEMOCRAT JIM NELSON.

Georgia - 2nd District

Your US Representative is SANFORD BISHOP, a DEMOCRAT.

SANFORD BISHOP received 50 points, a FAILURE grade.
SANFORD BISHOP VOTED WRONGLY EIGHT VOTES OF TEN,
VOTING PROPERLY TO (and this is notable):
2) oppose the Justice Dept. campaign to undermine state medical marijuana statutes & the DEA arresting the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting FOR Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
4) Oppose a $287 million transfer to state anti-drug task forces under the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants program. State police use this money to round up minorities using informers and snitches and have jailed hundreds of innocents under this program.

SANFORD BISHOP VOTED WRONGLY TO:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
5) spray poisons over the rain forest in Colombia (PLAN COLOMBIA),
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

SANFORD BISHOP is one of three African-Americans out of 40 in the HOUSE to receive a failure grade. 29 African-American men in the House average a score of 101, the eleven African-American females in the US House average 120 points each! Of the six Democrat US REPS from Georgia, four voted YES on Hinchey-Rohrabacher, two voted no. All seven Republicans voted NO to the Hinchey Amendment. Five of the seven Republicans from Georgia received a ZERO -TOXIC EVIL- grade!!!!

SANFORD BISHOP clearly is deficient, no doubt about it. But his YES VOTE to support the Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment is very encouraging.

Georgia - 3rd District

Your US REPRESENTATIVE is LYNN WESTMORELAND, a REPUBLICAN.

LYNN WESTMORELAND, a male, scored ZERO points, a TOXIC/EVIL GRADE. WESTMORELAND VOTED WRONG TEN out of TEN votes!

10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

LYNN WESTMORELAND is total evil. He ought to be defeated.

Further, he is a deplorable hypocrite. Watch this video of WESTMORELAND admitting to being the greatest sanctimonious bastard hypocrite that ever was here:
Colberts Destroys Westmoreland

LYNN WESTMORELAND is a total idiot, a sorry sack of shit if there ever was one.

I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT, VOTE, and CAMPAIGN FOR DEMOCRAT MIKE MCGRAW for your US REPRESENTATIVE.

Investigate him by asking how he would vote in Congress on VOTE 2, Hinchey Amendment.

Georgia - 4th District

6) oppose the massive police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT
7) oppose an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) oppose the establishement of HOMELAND SECURITY,
and
10) support an amendment to close an American torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) for foreign military interrogators at Fort Benning, Georgia.

CYNTHIA McKINNEY was very good but lost the primary because of a minor dust-up with a Washington DC cop. A shame because McKinney was solid on med-pot, the Iraq War, restraining big government.

I ENDORSE THE DEMOCRAT WHO WON THE PRIMARY HANK JOHNSON.

Georgia - 5th District
30076 - 6125 and above is John D. Lewis and you would be in Georgia's 5th District

Your US REPRESENTATIVE is JOHN D. LEWIS, a DEMOCRAT.

JOHN D. LEWIS received 95 points, a "B" grade.
JOHN LEWIS VOTED CORRECTLY SEVEN TIMES OUT OF TEN VOTES,
VOTING WRONGLY TO:
1) increase anti-marijuana advertising by $25 million,
3) re-authorize the powers & budget of the ONDCP (Drug Czar John Walters office)
4) support an increase in corrupting Byrne Justice anti-drug federal grants to the states,

JOHN LEWIS VOTED CORRECTLY TO;
2) oppose the Justice Dept. actions to undermine state medical marijuana laws, opposed the DEA arrests of the sick dying,
5) oppose Plan Colombia & the spray of poisons over the rain forest in Colombia,
6) oppose the massive police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT

10) support an amendment to close an American torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) for foreign military interrogators at Fort Benning, Georgia.

JOHN LEWIS is also sponsor of two pending drug reform bills;
* H.R. 1184 - The Rise Act. This is a bill that would repeal part of the Higher Education Act that prohibits people convicted of drug offences from receiving student financial assistance.
* No More Tulias: Drug Law Evidentiary Standards Improvement Act. This bill would prohibit federal grants to anti-drug task forces noted for corruption, use of informers and planted evidence. Would require states to pass laws preventing drug convictions based solely on allegations of informers or undercover agents.

JOHN LEWIS is doing some serious good work and I urge you to join his campaign and volunteer. VOTE DEMOCRAT JOHN D. LEWIS !

Georgia - 6th District
30188

Your US REPRESENTATIVE is GEORGIA's 6th District TOM PRICE, a REPUBLICAN.

TOM PRICE received 10 points, graded a REPREHENSIBLE FAILURE.
TOM PRICE VOTED CORRECTLY ONE TIME OUT OF TEN VOTES TO:
6) oppose the PATRIOT ACT

TOM PRICE VOTED WRONGLY TO:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Where PRICE found the guts to oppose the PATRIOT ACT, I can't figure. That act of courage kept him from being graded TOXIC/EVIL.

TOM PRICE is bad for America, very bad for Georgia. Price has common company from other Republicans, the state average among Georgia's 8 Republican Reps is 4 points each! SIX of EIGHT GEORGIA's REPUBLICANS got ZERO points, graded TOXIC/EVIL! ONLY NEBRASKA's THREE Republicans who all received TOXIC/EVIL grades were a more awful state delegation of Republicans than Georgia!

I endorse the DEMOCRAT STEVE SINTON. Southern Democrats can be a mixed bag. But Georgia Republicans are unbelievably bad. I recommend registering to vote and voting SINTON.

Georgia - 7th District
30078, 30043

Your US Representative is JOHN LINDER, a REPUBLICAN in GEORGIA's 7th District.

JOHN LINDER scored ZERO points, a TOXIC/EVIL GRADE. LINDER VOTED WRONG TEN out of TEN votes.

6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

I URGE you to support, vote for the DEMOCRATIC candidate for US House in the 7th district, ALAN BURNS.

John Linder is total EVIL. He must be defeated.

Georgia - 8th District
31204

Your US representative is JIM MARSHALL, DEMOCRAT, in GEORGIA's 8th District.

JIM MARSHALL scored ZERO points, a TOXIC/EVIL GARDE. Marshall is only one of two noxious Democratic Party sacks of shit who VOTED WRONG ON ALL TEN VOTES. EVIL. EVIL. EVIL. Betraying the party, voting worse than 150 Republicans (and tied with 65 Republicans who were graded TOXIC EVIL - wrong every time also). The only other TOXIC EVIL Democrat in the US House was Jim McIntyre of North Carolina.

For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as JIM MARSHALL of Georgia's 3rd District and 66 other US Reps did ? they would have voted to:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
4) encourage terrible corruption with anti-drug task force federal grants,

8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

JIM MARSHALL is total evil. He ought to be defeated.

The Republican is possibly, if not likely, as bad, but its worth inquiring as to whether the REPUBLICAN challenger MAC COLLINS supported Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment when he was in the 108th Congress. Call him and find out his view on VOTE 2.

Georgia - 9th District
30011

Your US Representative is NATHAN DEAL, a REPUBLICAN in GEORGIA's 9th District.

NATHAN DEAL scored ZERO points, a TOXIC/EVIL GRADE.
NATHAN DEAL VOTED WRONG TEN out of TEN votes.

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

I URGE you to ask the DEMOCRATIC candidate for US House in the 9th district, JOHN BRADBURY about his drug reform ideas if any. However, Mr. Bradbury's website gives no hint that he is sympathetic to any of our issues. Here is his email: risingfawn@veryfast.biz

The key question to ask is if he would support an amendment to deny the Justice Dept. the ability to undermine state medical marijuana laws (VOTE 2).

NATHAN DEAL is total evil. He must be defeated. I encourage you to vote for DEMOCRAT JOHN BRADBURY.

Georgia - 10th District

Your US Representative is CHARLIE NORWOOD, a REPUBLICAN.

CHARLIE NORWOOD is total evil. He must be defeated. I encourage you to vote for DEMOCRAT TERRY HOLLEY. Unfortunately white Georgia DEMOCRAT REPS vote a lot like white REPUBLICAN Georgia REPS.

3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,

Oh man, its such a collection of evil doers, these Georgia Congressmen. Democrat JOHN BARROW should be defeated. MAC BURNS, the Republican was in Congress before 2004 and has an identical type of voting record. What are the people who elect these guys like, is what I'm starting to ask? There's this belt of evil that starts in North Carolina and stretches right down almost uninterrupted into Florida. White male war mongering, hypocritical bastards. Lots of them.

And there are no Libertarians or Greens running in Georgia for the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Why? Look at the requirements to be on the ballot:
Term Length: 2 years
Filing Fee: $4,353.00
Election Date: November 7, 2006
District(s): 13 (Congressional Map Whole State, Congressional Map Metro Atlanta)
Age Requirements: 25 years
Residency Requirements: Must be a Georgia resident
Misc. Requirements: US citizen for 7 years (Must be a registered voter)
Ballot Access Requirements: Signatures from 5% of registered voters.

5% of all the registered voters in your federal district. Thats at least 5,000 signatures. Plus $4,353.00 filing fee.

This is an appalling situation. Georgia democracy (term used loosely) sucks ass.

Georgia - 13th District

Your US Representative is DAVID SCOTT, a DEMOCRAT.

Even the elected black man has fallen on hard times in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina.
DAVID SCOTT scored 60 points, a passing "D-MINUS" grade.

DAVID SCOTT VOTED CORRECT THREE VOTES OF TEN TO:
2) oppose the Justice Dept. campaign to undermine state medical marijuana statutes & the DEA arresting the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting FOR Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
5) oppose Plan Colombia & the spray of poisons over the rain forest in Colombia,
7) oppose an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly.

DAVID SCOTT VOTED WRONG TO:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
4) encourage terrible corruption with anti-drug task force federal grants,
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

DAVID SCOTT voted CORRECTLY on a few key votes, certainly Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment speaks in his favor, and opposing the IRAQ WAR is key.

The alternative is certainly worse.

--- end Georgia section

--- begin Florida section

For FLORIDA GOVERNOR;
JIM DAVIS (DEMOCRAT) was not very good as a US REP from Florida BUT he did vote FOR VOTE 2, the AMENDMENT TO STOP THE JUSTICE DEPT. from undermining med-pot state laws. That was the most important vote in our survey. That means he would not be against a med-pot law in FLORIDA, which is a very good opinion to be held by a GOVERNOR. Jim Davis received 60, the lowest passing grade, as US Rep., but one of those three correct votes was important VOTE 2.

I ENDORSE JIM DAVIS - DEMOCRAT for GOVERNOR.

FOR US SENATOR;
KATHERINE HARRIS, the REPUBLICAN nominee, is evil. While in Congress she VOTED WRONG on VOTE 2 and received a grade of REPREHENSIBLE FAILURE (20 points out of 185). KATHERINE HARRIS is a fundamentalist, mean-spirited vampire who is also responsible in some part for G. W. stealing the 2000 election. SHE MUST NOT WIN the race for US SENATOR. Alas, the current US SENATOR up for re-election, DEMOCRAT BILL NELSON, is a prohibitionist.

Candidate for US SENATE Brian Moore of the Green Party is reputed to be in favor of decriminalizing drugs but I have yet to see a published interview or report to that effect.

Therefore I am endorsing FLOYD RAY FRAZIER ? Independent for US SENATE ? FLORIDA

I don?t like NELSON?s voting record, Harris is a vicious witch, and I like FRAZIER?s policies, especially Policy #1, #6 and of course, #7, Legalization of Marijuana.

From
www.frazierforUSSenate06.com
>>>Policy 1; HUMAN RIGHTS
The United States is in the forefront of condemning the worlds other industrial nations of violating Human Rights, but we have been the biggest purveyors of Human Rights Violations in the world.

Policy 6; RESTORATION OF FELON VOTING RIGHTS

Policy 7: LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA
Marijuana will never ever have the devastating and debilitating effects on the body, mind and soul that alcohol does, did we not learn anything from prohibition? Legalize marijuana, take the criminality out of it, and tax so that it can pay for all of the ill?s it may cause if any.<<<

Military aid for Colombia will only result in more human rights violations against the people of Colombia. It should be halted immediately. Here at home, I would pardon all those imprisoned for possession or use of small amounts of marijuana. For users of cocaine, heroin, and other highly addictive drugs, treatment should replace incarceration. Prison should be saved for the importers and distributors of illegal drugs -- including the CIA. I support industrial hemp and the medical use of marijuana.?

You should volunteer in the BOWMAN campaign immediately.

Florida - 19th District
33417

Your US REPRESENTATIVE is ROBERT WEXLER, DEMOCRAT, for FLORIDA's 19th District.

WEXLER was hilarious on the STEPHEN COLBERT Comedy Show.

ROBERT WEXLER scored 105 points for a B grade. ROBERT WEXLER voted correctly SIX VOTES OF TEN and is co-sponsor of two drug-law reform bills.

ROBERT WEXLER VOTED CORRECTLY TO;
2) oppose the Justice Dept. actions to undermine state medical marijuana laws, oppose the DEA arrests of the sick & dying,(supported HINCHEY-ROIRHABACHER Amendment)
4) oppose a $287 million increase in anti-drug task force federal grants (BYRNE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANTS)
5) oppose PLAN COLOMBIA & the spray of poisons over the rain forest in Colombia,
6) oppose the massive police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT
7) oppose an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
and
8) oppose the reauthorization of HOMELAND SECURITY

ROBERT WEXLER VOTED WRONGLY TO;
1) increase WHITE HOUSE anti-marijuana advertising by $25 million
3) reauthorize the ONDCP (White House Drug Czar)
9) authorize a ten-fold increase in fines for TV & radio under the BROADCAST DECENCY ACT
and
10) oppose an amendment to close a torture school operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia, called SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS.

ROBERT WEXLER is sponsor of two drug-law reform bills;
* 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.

WEXLER is good on key votes 2 but needs to be asked what is up with VOTE #1 and #10? More anti-pot ads? Torture school? Hello, what is up with that? He is unopposed but it one of the best Representatives from Florida and I urge you to VOTE WEXLER and keep tabs on him.

Florida ? 20th District

Your US representative is DEB WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ, A DEMOCRAT.

DEB WASSERMAN-SCHULTZ VOTED WRONG OR MISSED KEY VOTES ON CANNABIS, so its difficult to endorse her. But she?s great on peace issues, keeping government from intruding on personal liberties.

Florida - 21st District

Your US Representative is LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART, of FLORIDA'S 21st district, a REPUBLICAN.

LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART has failed AMERICA, and failed FLORIDA and ought to be defeated.

I urge you to support the Democratic candidate FRANK GONZALEZ in the 21st District and volunteer in the campaign. GONZALEZ IS A GREAT DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE ON DRUG LAW REFORM. Here's what he says about prohibition in America;
"The war on drugs has caused more problems than those it intended to fix. We now have more artificially high and very lucrative prices as incentives for black market dealers, gun murders, broken families, police corruption, police abuse, sexually transmitted diseases from addicted prostitutes, civil asset forfeiture, racial profiling, crowded court dockets, prison crowding through the rise of the prison industrial complex, depressed property values, lost voting rights, lost employment opportunities, privacy violations, theft, record-strength drug purity, addiction, depression, wasted taxpayer dollars and government bureaucracy than ever before, all because a few moralists in the federal government decided, without the awareness of the majority of voters, that such unintended consequences would be very difficult to reverse.

It is time for the new wave of eager patriots to replace the old guard and say what needs saying: the war on drugs must end in favor of a system that treats addicts with compassion."

Frank J. Gonzalez

Democrat FRANK GONZALEZ would be an inspired choice to defeat LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART.

Florida ? 23rd District

* H.R. 2620 - No More Tulias: Drug Law Evidentiary Standards Improvement Act. This bill would prohibit federal grants to anti-drug task forces noted for corruption, use of informers and planted evidence.

I HIGHLY ENDORSE ALCEE HASTINGS FOR YOUR VOTE IN THE 22nd District.

---end of the Florida section

ALABAMA

FOR GOVERNOR;The only ray of light that you, an Alabama voter have, is LORETTA NALL, founder of the US Marijuana Party, a Libertarian WRITE-IN candidate for GOVERNOR. Help her out, it?s a tough go being sane on drug policy in Alabama. Nall got just 22,000 of the 42,000 signatures required to just get her name on the ballot, the second highest threshold of signatures required for a Gubernatorial candidate in the USA. So you have to write her name in FULL on the ballot! LORETTA is terrific and you should VOTE for her, campaign for her and contribute $ to her efforts. Riley of the Republicans and Baxley of the Democrats are both appalling. LORETTA NALL is a fabulous. READ all about her campaign here: LORETTA NALL FOR GOVERNOR

Alabama - 1st District

Your US Representative is JOE BONNER, a REPUBLICAN.

JOE BONNER is a cracker-ass sack of shit like all the Alabama Reps, all 7 of whom scored FAILURE or WORSE grades!

The Democrat is VIVIAN BECKERLE. Female Democrats average 101 in the House. Let's hope Vivian is one of those Democrats, but I doubt it.

TERRY EVERETT is BAD for AMERICA, BAD for ALABAMA and must be defeated. However, his DEMOCRATIC rival, CHARLES JAMES is unknown on our issues. Alabama Democrats in the US House vote like Republicans, and this is a great problem for democracy in the United States, about 50 Democrats in the US House cannot be trusted to vote on issues of liberty and free choice, from states like Alabama, North Carolina, Iowa, Utah, Oklahoma, Louisiana.

However, I urge you to contact the Democratic candidate CHARLES JAMES and sound his people out on the VOTE 2 - Hinchey Amendment.

Your US Representative is MIKE ROGERS, a REPUBLICAN, of ALABAMA's 3rd district.

MIKE ROGERS scored ZERO points, a TOXIC/EVIL GRADE. MIKE ROGERS VOTED WRONG TEN out of TEN votes!

Alabama Democrats in the US House most often vote like Republicans, and this is a great problem for democracy in the United States, about 50 Democrats in the US House cannot be trusted to vote on issues of liberty and free choice, from states like Alabama, North Carolina, Iowa, Utah, Oklahoma, Louisiana.

Your US Representative is SPENCER BACHUS, a REPUBLICAN in ALABAMA's 6th District.

SPENCER BACHUS scored ZERO points, a TOXIC/EVIL GRADE. BACHUS VOTED WRONG TEN out of TEN votes!

SPENCER BACHUS is total evil. He ought to be defeated. He ought to be challenged. But the Democratic Party in Alabama is so screwed up that Republican BACHUS is running UNOPPOSED. That is the sad, sad, news.

Alabama - 7th District

Your US representative is ARTUR DAVIS, a DEMOCRAT.

ARTUR DAVIS is traitor to his party and his race, being one of three African-Americans with a failing grade out of 40 black men and women in the House. Another of the 50 Dem-o-crap infiltraitors in the HOUSE.

ARTUR DAVIS received 50 points, a FAILURE grade. DAVIS VOTED WRONG SEVEN OUT OF TEN VOTES, VOTING CORRECTLY TO;
4) oppose the transfer of $287 million more into direct federal anti-drug task force federal grants (BYRNE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANTS) known to be used to target minorities

ARTUR DAVIS is lousy except on the WAR IN IRAQ and on PLAN COLOMBIA.

ALABAMA is a misrable place where democracy has gone horribly wrong.
Pray for Loretta Nall's good health. Her continued political activism in Alabama is the only hope for this barren place.

---end Alabama section

--- begin Tennessee section

Eight of Nine of Tennessee's US Reps received a failing grade, 3 were even ZERO (TOXIC/EVIL). The only US Rep. from Tennessee that received a passing grade was Harold Ford who is running for US SENATE this election. All the rest are bastards. ALL 9 VOTED AGAINST (VOTE 2 ) THE HINCHEY AMENDMENT. Tennessee is an place governed by SATAN. Who votes for these evil bastards?

I RECOMMEND HAROLD FORD for US SENATE on your November 7 ballot and urge you to campaign for him. He voted correctly 6 out of 10 times. He is NOT good on marijuana issues but better on the war and government over-reaching.

HAROLD FORD VORED CORRECTLY TO;
4) oppose the transfer of $287 million more into direct federal anti-drug task force federal grants (BYRNE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANTS) known to be used to target minorities
5) oppose PLAN COLOMBIA & the spray of poisons over the rain forest in Colombia,

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio

The Republican BOB CORKER is evil. His ads are appalling lies & deceit. CORKER hangs with scum, thats the way he rolls, apparently.

FOR US REPRESENTATIVE:

Tennessee - 1st District

Your US Representative is BILL JENKINS, a REPUBLICAN.

BILL JENKINS is retiring.
BILL JENKINS SCORED ZERO POINTS FOR A TOXIC/EVIL GRADE.
BILL JENKINS VOTED WRONG ON EVERYTHING! What an evil piece of shit!
For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as BILL JENKINS of Tennessee's 1st District and 65 others did ? they would have voted to:
1) authorize a $25 million increase in government anti-marijuana advertising,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

As I said, JENKINS is retiring. The seat is OPEN.
DEMOCRAT RICK TRENT is a DEMO-CRAP, which TENNESSEE is a leading producer of.

I RECOMMEND GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE NORMAN SMITH FOR US REP IN THE 1ST DISTRICT.
NORMAN SMITH WANTS TO:
1) Impeach Bush/Cheney and lesser officials for treason, the one charge the president cannot grant a pardon for;
2) Pull out of Iraq/Afghanistan and allow U.N. forces to do the job of peacekeeping and rebuilding;
3) Rescind the unconstitutional Patriot Act;
4) Call for sharp reductions in defense spending, with the savings going to essential social/environmental programs.
Robert Smith also goes on to talk about our imminent need to end the drug war; which has proven to be an absolute disaster and a hefty burden on the American taxpayer:
SAYS ROBERT SMITH:
"I am for decriminalizing of natural substances. They have a better safety record than do alcohol or cigarettes, and I don't know of any community today where you can't buy pot.
"We are spending billions losing the war on drugs and jailing a lot of innocent people who otherwise would be good, hard-working citizens. Control it (illegal drugs) and tax it, like you do with alcohol, and create new business and new tax sources."

Absolutely fucking right! VOTE NORMAN SMITH - GREEN PARTY in THE FIGHTIN' 1st!!

Tennessee - 2nd District

Your US Representative is JOHN DUNCAN, a REPUBLICAN.

JOHN DUNCAN SCORED 45 POINTS, A "FAILURE" GRADE.

6) oppose the police state apparatus known as the PATRIOT ACT,
7) oppose the WAR IN IRAQ, and
10) CLOSE a torture school -SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS- operating at Fort Benning, Georgia.

JOHN DUNCAN VOTED WRONGLY TO:

2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and

45 points is a failure grade. All TENNESSEE US REPS suck, many badly. However JOHN DUNCAN shows some potential. A Republican from Tennessee who votes against the IRAQ war is something.

He's bad on our issues, but then so are the FOUR DEMOCRAT US REPS from TENNESSEE. The DEMOCRAT is JOHN GREEN. The only way I could endorse DEM GREEN is if he committed to vote YES ON HINCHEY AMENDMENT. Someone check, please! Otherwise, I would RECOMMEND VOTING FOR REPUBLICAN JOHN DUNCAN despite a failing grade.

3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act)

LINCOLN DAVIS ISN'T COMPLETELY REPREHENSIBLE. A few votes from a humanitarian heart. There is only a DEMO-CRAP or the REPUBLICAN in the 4th. No recommendation but be sure to run in the next election if you want more choices than these two DEMO-CRAPUBLICANS.

Tennessee - 5th District
37206

Your US Representative is JIM COOPER, a DEMOCRAT in TENNESSEE's 5th District.

JIM COOPER scored 25 points, a FAILURE grade.
JIM COOPER VOTED WRONG EIGHT out of TEN votes, voting properly to;
5) support an amendment to halt the spraying of poison over the Colombian rainforest (PLAN COLOMBIA),
8) oppose the establishement of HOMELAND SECURITY,

JIM COOPER voted WRONGLY to:
1) authorize a $25 million increase in government anti-marijuana advertising,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
4) authorize a $287 million transfer from the BYRNE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE Federal grants to corrupt anti-drug task forces in the states
6) support the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

JIM COOPER is BAD for AMERICA, BAD for TENNESSEE, bad for the cannabis culture and he MUST be defeated. He votes terribly on most other votes also.

TENNESSEE Republicans are usually worse than this sorry excuse for a DEMO-CRAP is.

However, I have had contacts with REPUBLICAN TOM KOVACH and believe he is more sensitive to our issue than dastardly JIM COOPER. But KOVACH is still an extreme conservative who, after perusing his website, does not concur with any of our positions. KOVACH is no good for us also.
I ENDORSE INDEPENDENT GINNY WELSCH IN THE FIGHTIN' 5th! http://www.welschforcongress.com/

8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,

6) oppose the massive police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT
and
10) support an amendment to close a torture school operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia, called SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS.

BART IS A FAILURE, TRUE. NONETHELESS, YOU HAVE TO LOWER THE BAR IN TENNESSEE, BECAUSE THIS WAS THE SECOND HIGHEST TENNESSEE US REP SCORE. Oh, Jesus, its bad in Tennessee. Save us! On second thought, SCREW BART GORDON!

Bad on our issues, supported the WAR IN IRAQ. BART GORDON IS A BASTARD!
I URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR INDEPENDENT NORMAN SALIBA FOR US REP IN THE FIGHTIN' 6th!

Tennessee - 7th District
37035

Your US Representative is MARSHA BLACKBURN, a REPUBLICAN in TENNESSEE's 7th District.

MARSHA BLACKBURN scored ZERO points, a TOXIC/EVIL GRADE. BLACKBURN VOTED WRONG TEN out of TEN votes.

For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as MARSHA BLACKBURN of Tennessee's 7th District and 65 others did ? they would have voted to:
1) authorize a $25 million increase in government anti-marijuana advertising,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

I URGE you to support and VOTE for the INDEPENDENT candidate for US House in the 7th district, KATHLEEN CULVER.

Marsha Blackburn is total evil. The Democrat Bill MORRISON is a DEMO-CRAP from interviews of him I read. I cannot recommend him

Tennessee - 8th District

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

On marijuana issues, TANNER is clearly a drug warrior and CANNOT be recommended. His failing grade means we would usually have an endorsement of an opponent with better principles but the REPUBLICAN challenger is worse. There are no independents on the ballot for US Representative for the 8th District.

Tennessee - 9th District

Your US representative is HAROLD FORD, JR., A DEMOCRAT.

5) oppose PLAN COLOMBIA & the spray of poisons over the rain forest in Colombia,

No surprise that the black man is the only passing grade in Tennessee's wickedly evil Congressional delegation.

HAROLD FORD wants to be US SENATOR from TENNESSEE. That would be good. Meanwhile, the fightin' 8th is OPEN.

I ENDORSE DEMOCRAT STEVE COHEN. He claims to be "Progressive Liberal" though there was no hint of drug-law reform in any of his "issues".

MISSISSIPPI

FOR US SENATE: Ole' Segregation Sentimentalist TRENT LOTT is the REPUBLICAN who is, inexplicably, adored in white Mississippi. Or maybe not so inexplicably. Maybe Mississippi is filled with racist nostalgia for the ante-bellum period of plantations and Jim Crow laws. Maybe thats just the jaded impression I get.

TRENT LOTT is A GEORGE BUSH rubber stamping bastard who is a chief architect of the mess the US is in right now. But REPUBLICAN TRENT LOTT leads the DEMOCRAT ERIK FLEMING by 30 points. Sigh.

THE DEMOCRAT is ERIK FLEMING. What the hell, VOTE FOR LIBERTARIAN HAROLD TAYLOR FOR US SENATE!

The DEMOCRATS MUST LIKE CHARLES PICKERING BECAUSE THE DEMS ARE LETTING PICKERING RUN UNOPPOSED. The only opponent on the ballot is White Supremicist organic farmer Jim Giles. Oh Mississippi! HOWARD DEAN OUGHT TO GO TO ALABAMA, GEORGIA, MISSISSIPPI, and clear all these CRACKERS out of the Democratic Party. THESE INFIL-TRAITOR REPUBLICRATS ARE FUCKING UP THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND MAKING IT MEANINGLESS IN MOST OF THE SOUTH-EAST.

KENTUCKY

There are No Senate or Gubernatorial races in Kentucky this year. GATEWOOD GALBRAITH will be seeking the Governorship in 2007. Mr. GALBRAITH is a southern gentleman held in very high esteem by old school activists like myself. When he last ran for Governor in 2004 he reaped an incredible 15% of the vote, a fabulous achievement running as an Independent on a small budget. 2007 could be GATEWOOD GALBRAITH's year.

---THIS IS THE OHIO SECTION

FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO:
I endorse TED STRICKLAND - DEMOCRAT for Governor. STRICKLAND, as US REP for OHIO's 6th district in the current Congress, received a passing grade of C-, 75 points. STRICKLAND voted properly on VOTE 2, HINCHEY-RORHABACHER Amendment, which is the most important vote. It means that STRICKLAND may be receptive to an OHIO medical marijuana law enhancement in the state.
The Libertarian candidate for Governor BILL PIERCE would abandon most aspects of the drug war controlled by the state.

FOR US SENATE FROM OHIO:
The excellent US Representative SHERROD BROWN, who scored 115 points (A) in our survey, is running for the US Senate. BROWN is highly preferred over prohibitionist Republican Mike Dewine and I urge you to work for SHERROD BROWN (DEMOCRAT) for US SENATE in this campaign.

OHIO GENERALLY;
Ohio Democrats are generally outstanding, averaging a score of 104 each for the 6 Ohio Democrats. The 12 Ohio Republican Reps in the US House averaged 31, a FAILING grade. NOT a SINGLE REPUBLICAN US Rep. from OHIO received a passing grade!!!! Filthy, disgusting scumbags!
OHIO IS THE BIG BATTLEGROUND for the myspace Election Army! If you are in OHIO, you hold remarkable influence on the fate of the nation. We must defeat as many of the Republican failures as is possible and we must elect SHERROD BROWN to the US SENATE.

He is the best the cannabis culture has in Michigan, having introduced HB 5470, (medical marijuana) and is introducing a bill to gut Michigan?s new draconian ?drugged driving? law, implemented courtesy of a recent State Supreme Court ruling.

FOR US SENATOR from Michigan:
I ENDORSE the incumbent DEMOCRAT DEBBIE STABENOW because her Republican challenger, Oakland County Sheriff MIKE BOUCHARD, is a proud drug warrior. Bouchard even organized opposition to DETROIT?s 2004 successful medical marijuana ballot ordinance, here?s from The Daily Oakland Press:

State, local officials oppose push for medical marijuana
By KORIE WILKINS Of The Daily Oakland Press

State and local officials are speaking out against a proposal that would legalize medical marijuana in Detroit, saying it could lead to looser drug laws in Michigan.
"Drugs are not something we want to have a greater amount of in the community," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard. "This is an attempt to legitimize marijuana and nothing more."

Bouchard was joined by a host of law enforcement and legislative officials Tuesday for a news conference in Detroit against Proposal M, which will appear on the Aug. 3 primary ballot in Detroit.

--- end of news clipping

Prohibitionist Republican Bouchard?s TV commercial for Senator are something, one has candidate Mike Bouchard sitting between his daughter and some boy that she is supposedly trying to date. The commercial ends with Mike Bouchard jerking the bouquet of flowers out of this boy's hand ... then he hands the flowers to his daughter and says "Isn't this fun?"

Another goes "a lot of people in Washington don't realize that Michigan is a huge border state" then he goes on to say ... "people ask me what I think about illegal immigration. Well, I'm a 20-year lawman, I'm against anything that is illegal". Profound stuff.
VOTE STABENOW!

FOR US REPRESENTATIVE:
The citizens of Michigan have many bad US Representatives, only 5 of 15 received a passing grade, only three DEMOCRATS John Conyers (D-14th district, B , 95 score), Dale Kildee (D- 5th - A , 125 score) , Carolyn Kilpatrick (D - 13th - 115 score - A grade) out of SIX Democrat US Reps from Michigan were distinguished. Of the NINE Republicans, only one passed, with a D-! That was Joe Knollenberg of the 9th District, who voted correctly only TWO of TEN votes, but it was the right votes, #1 and #2, where Knollenberg favored the cannabis people.

Your US Representative is BART STUPAK, DEMOCRAT. of Michigan's 1st District.

BART STUPAK scored 45 points, a FAILURE grade, VOTING CORRECTLY FOUR OF TEN VOTES.

STUPAK VOTED CORRECTLY TO;
5) oppose Plan Colombia & the spray of poisons over the rain forest in Colombia,
6) oppose the police state apparatus known as the PATRIOT ACT,
7) oppose the WAR IN IRAQ,
and
10) closing an American torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) for foreign military interrogators at Fort Benning, Georgia.

STUPAK VOTED WRONGLY TO;
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment

4) encourage terrible corruption with anti-drug task force federal grants,

STUPAK was fine on IRAQ and PATRIOT ACT and closing the torture school but is very bad on our issue - marijuana. His vote on VOTE 2 (Hinchey-Rorhrabacher) requires an ass kicking for that alone. However, it is a certainty that the Republican is worse.

He cannot be endorsed but he is better than the Republican. It is a certainty that the LIBERTARIAN KEN PROCTOR favors a repeal of marijuana prohibition.

I endorse you vote for KEN PROCTOR, LIBERTARIAN.

* The States Rights to Medical Marijuana Act. This is a very important bill (H.R. 2087) that would reclassify marijuana as a schedule 2 drug, allowing states to enact medical marijuana laws without federal interference.

* H.R. 2620 - No More Tulias: Drug Law Evidentiary Standards Improvement Act. This bill would prohibit federal grants to anti-drug task forces noted for corruption, use of informers and planted evidence. Would require states to pass laws preventing drug convictions based solely on allegations of informers or undercover agents.

* 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.

Baldwin was instrumental in removing a provision of the 2000 Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act which would have created a 10 year felony for providing information which "could be used to manufacture or use a controlled substance." Her unlikely ally, then GA Republican Bob Barr. She was also the first on judiciary to resist the RAVE Act of 2003, creating a felony for hosting a musical event at which a controlled substance was used or distributed. As finally passed, the Feds would have to make a showing that the property owner or promoter knew of the controlled substance violation.

Wisconsin ? 5th District

Your US Representative is JAMES SENSENBRENNER, a fascist sack of shit (REPUBLICAN).

JAMES SENSENBRENNER received 20 points, a REPREHENSIBLE FAILURE grade.

JAMES SENSENBRENNER VOTED WRONG NINE OUT OF TEN VOTES, VOTING CORRECTLY TO:
4) oppose a $287 million transfer of funds to the BYRNE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANTS federal anti-drug task force program.

JAMES SENSENBRENNER VOTED WRONGLY TO:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

JAMES SENSENBRENNER is pure evil. This is a bill that SENSENBRENNER is trying to get passed in the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:
?Protecting America?s Most Vulnerable Act? (HR 1528).
This brainchild of Sensenbrenner?s diseased mind includes the following extreme harsh penalties for distributing a few grams of pot:
? Making the sale of a controlled substance, including more than five grams of marijuana, by a person older than 21 to a person younger than 18 a felony subject to a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence. A second offender would face a mandatory life sentence, as would someone charged with that crime who had already been convicted of another drug charge
? Increasing to five years the mandatory minimum sentence for anyone convicted of drug sales within 1,000 feet of a school, college, public library, drug treatment facility, or, for good measure, a video arcade
? Selling a controlled substance to someone who has ever been in drug treatment would be a felony with a five-year mandatory minimum sentence
? Creating a new three-year mandatory minimum sentence for parents who know of drug trafficking activity near their children and do not report it to police within 24 hours
? Creating a new 10-year mandatory minimum sentence for parents convicted of a drug trafficking offence in or near the presence of their minor child; i.e. in the same car or same house.

So far, the bill hasn?t been made into law. But unless Sensenbrenner and his toxic/evil conservative Republican allies are greatly reduced in numbers after this November 7, it could well come up in the House and pass. Then we?ll all be meeting in the concentration camps Sensenbrenner wants set up to deal with the cannabis culture. If you need a warning on the costs of inaction and inattention to our liberties, Sensenbrenner?s bill should serve as a rude wake up call.

Vote for the Democrat BRYAN KENNEDY if you live in Milwaukee County and environs (District 5). Not only will you defeat a spiteful, wicked prohibitionist: Kennedy is really a good guy. He?s pro-choice, pro-labor, and pro-gay. And another thing: He?s a Sunday school-teaching Mormon who derides his church for siding with conservative Christian leaders. ?I?m actually very offended by ideologues that want to push their ideas and their religious beliefs on me,? he commented. His take on anti-gay agendas, for instance? ?I think it?s really one of those situations where you ask: Do you stand for freedom, for liberty, do you stand for an individual?s right to make decisions without government getting in the way??

MINNESOTA

FOR US SENATE: US Representative MARK KENNEDY (Republican) is running for the US Senate. He hates the cannabis culture! I graded Kennedy a TOXIC/EVIL ZERO in our survey of the 109th Congress. TEN OUT OF TEN VOTES WRONG! Minnesotans should vote for his Democratic Party rival AMY KLOBUCHAR for US Senate, who will be immensely better for our people.

For GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA; I am ENDORSING LESLIE DAVIS, INDEPENDENT. It couldn't be said more succinctly, here is his policy under Public Safety;

Public Safety

STOP THE DRUG WAR. Absolutely right.

* H.R. 1184 - The Rise Act. This is a bill that would repeal part 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 (H.R. 2087) that would reclassify marijuana as a schedule 2 drug, allowing states to enact medical marijuana laws without federal interference.

MARTIN SABO was a great Congressman and will be sorely missed in the 110th Congress.

The three other DEMOCRAT US Reps from Minnesota scored, 100, 100, and 145, excellent scores and are all recommended for re-election. The four Minnesota Republican House members are all failures or toxic/evil failures.

COLLIN PETERSON cannot be recommended, particularly his failure to vote for Hinchey Amendment, but his Republican challenger is worse.

IOWA
FOR GOVERNOR:
I rated JIM NUSSLE, the US Representative for Iowa?s 1st District, as TOXIC/EVIL for his very poor 10 out of 10 wrong votes in our survey of the US House. Now he wants to be Governor of Iowa, and that would be a very, very bad thing for Iowa growers and smokers. CHET CULVER, the Democratic candidate for Governor, is whom we endorse in order to keep rabid prohibitionist Nussle away from the levers of power.

The five US Representatives from IOWA all VOTED AGAINST VOTE 2 ? The HINCHEY AMENDMENT. Four Republicans and one Democrat. It?s a bad situation. So the question to ask any IOWA candidate is will you support the Hinchey Amendment in 2007?

Iowa ? 1st District

Your US Representative is JIM NUSSLE, a REPUBLICAN.

JIM NUSSLE scored ZERO points, a TOXIC/EVIL grade.
JIM NUSSLE VOTED WRONG EVERY TIME!
JIM NUSSLE retired from the HOUSE and is running for GOVERNOR! OH NO!
For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as JIM NUSSLE of Iowa?s 1st District and 66 other US Reps did ? they would have voted to:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
4) encourage terrible corruption with anti-drug task force federal grants,
5) spray poisons over the rain forest in Colombia (PLAN COLOMBIA),
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

JIM NUSSLE is a toxic sack of shit, among the worst in the House of Representatives. NUSSLE is a war-mongering, torture condoning, drug warring rubber stamp for the Bush administration. Let?s hope he doesn?t end up Governor

I URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRAT BRUCE BRALEYfor US REP in 1st district.

Iowa ? 2nd district
52402

Your US Representative from IOWA's 2nd District is JAMES (JIM) LEACH, a REPUBLICAN.

JIM LEACH SCORED 60 points, a PASSING D- grade, VOTING CORRECTLY THREE VOTES OF TEN TO;
1) oppose a $25 million increase in anti-marijuana government propaganda,
5) reduce the spraying of poison over the Colombian rainforest (PLAN COLOMBIA),
7) end the WAR IN IRAQ,

JIM LEACH VOTED WRONGLY TO:
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
4) encourage terrible corruption with anti-drug task force federal grants,
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Jim Leach is the only one of 5 US Representatives from Iowa to get a passing grade, albeit barely. Even Democrat Leonard Boswell of Iowa's third district received a REPREHENSIBLE FAILURE score of 20, voting correctly only once out of 10.

For a D- we usually make no recommendation but in this case there are signs in the votes that were positive that Leach can be reached. Its very interesting he voted against an increase in anti-pot advertising, and opposed wars in Colombia and Iraq. Its possible Leach is an old small government constitutionalist type. Therefore I RECOMMEND talking with the candidate and then report back and help us make a determination as to whether we should endorse Republican Leach, only one of 15 Republicans to earn a passing grade in our survey.

Jim Leach voted with us on Hinchey/Rohrabacher (Vote 2) in 2004. I'd suggest he be asked why he flipped.

He was one of the Dept. of Justice officials who resigned rather than carry out Nixon's order to fire Special prosecutor Archibald Cox in the "Saturday Night Massacre" during Watergate.

The Democrat is DAVID LOEBSACK. The question to ask in district 2 is who will vote YES on the 2007 Hinchey Amendment?

Iowa ? 3rd district

Your US Representative is LEONARD BOSWELL, a DEMOCRAT, in the 3rd district.

LEONARD BOSWELL scored 20 points, a REPREHENSIBLE FAILURE grade.
LEONARD BOSWELL VOTED CORRECTLY ONE TIME OUT OF TEN VOTES, to;
4) oppose a $287 million transfer of federal anti-drug task force grants to state police forces.

LEONARD BOSWELL VOTED WRONG NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN TO:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
5) spray poisons over the rain forest in Colombia (PLAN COLOMBIA),
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

The Republican candidate is worse, if that can be imagined. 3 of 4 Republican US Representatives from IOWA had a score of ZERO including Jim Nussle, who is now running for Governor!

What?s worse for Iowa's 3rd district is that there are no Libertarians or Green Party candidates for US Rep in the 3rd district.

Iowa ? 4th District

Your US Representative is TOM LATHAM, a REPUBLICAN.

TOM LATHAN scored ZERO points for a TOXIC/EVIL grade.
TOM LATHAM VOTED WRONG TEN OUT OF TEN TIMES.

For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as TOM LATHAM of IOWA?s 4th District and 65 others did ? they would have voted to:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

LATHAM is EVIL. I endorse you VOTE FOR the DEMOCRATIC PARTY candidate SELDON SPENCER.

Iowa ? 5th District

Your US Representative is STEVE KING,a REPUBLICAN.

STEVE KING scored ZERO points for a TOXIC/EVIL grade.
STEVE KING VOTED WRONG TEN OUT OF TEN VOTES.

For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as STEVE KING of IOWA?s 5th District and 65 others did ? they would have voted to:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),

ILLINOIS section
FOR GOVERNOR; RICH WHITNEY of the GREEN PARTY wants to decriminalize all drugs except meth-amphetamine.

FOR US REPRESENTATIVE:
Illinois has 19 US districts. 10 Democrats, 9 Republicans. Democrats usually are centered in cities and Republicans largely represent rural constituencies. Democrats have 7 passing grades, all of them very good to outstanding. Democrats in Illinois are among the best in the USA along with Dems from California, New England, Massaachusetts, Ohio. Three Democrats of the TEN are failures -Melissa Bean, Jerry Costello and William Lipinski.
The 9 Illinois Republicans average score is 30 (Hastert not factored into the average). The Democrats average score is 85, with six receiving ?A-MINUS? to ?A? GRADE.

BILL SCHEURER is running under the Illinois MODERATE Party. WE HIGHLY ENDORSE BILL SCHEURER and hope you will help him defeat the evil Melissa Bean and the Republican David MacSweeney.

Here's what he says about the Drug War on his website which IS VERY GOOD:

From BILL SCHEURER website:
?War on Drugs
The so-called "war on drugs" is a bad idea. It does not work, and only makes things worse.

We tried this before, in the 1920's, with our failed experiment in alcohol prohibition. Then, as now, it led to an explosion in organized crime and gangs.

We have spent hundreds of billions of dollars trying to make America "drug free" in a misguided focus on using the criminal law system for this end. Yet illicit drugs are cheaper and easier to get.

Nearly half a million people are behind bars on drug charges -- more than all of western Europe (with a bigger population) imprisons for all offenses. The war on drugs has become a war on families, on public health, and on our constitutional rights.

Many of the problems the drug war claims to solve are in fact caused by the drug war itself. So-called "drug-related" crime is a direct result of prohibition's distorting laws of supply and demand. Public health problems, like HIV and Hepatitis C, are made worse by laws restricting access to clean needles.

The drug war is not the promoter of family values that some would have us believe. Inmates' children are at a high risk of educational failure, joblessness, addiction, and delinquency. Drug abuse is bad, but the drug war is far worse.

It is time for us to recognize that drug abuse is a public health issue for the surgeon general, not a public safety issue for the attorney general.

I ENDORSE DANNY STOVER of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. DANNY STOVER discusses issues extensively on his website.

On his site www.dannystoverforcongress.com

>>>We are losing the war on drugs. Southern Illinois is plagued by methamphetamines, cocaine and its derivatives, even heroin. The Southern Illinois problem gets worse with our sinking economy.
Its time to get smart on this issue with policies that foster programs like drug courts, treatment, prevention, education, interdiction, and innovations.
I have worked tirelessly to develop new strategies to deal with the problems of illegal drugs through community forums to increase awareness, and I will seek support for concepts such as treatment, education, prevention and drug courts.

and

We need to get "results" from policies that work. It is not always a "get tough on crime" solution that succeeds.
Justice needs to be restorative, proportionate, individualized, constructive, and intelligent.
Often Southern Illinois and rural America need Federal financial assistance for improved law enforcement and homeland security. ---end clip from website

Missouri - 3rd District

Your US Representative is RUSS CARNAHAN, a DEMOCRAT.

2) oppose the Justice Dept. campaign to undermine state mandated medical marijuana laws by voting for the Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
5) reduce the spraying of poison over the Colombian rainforest (PLAN COLOMBIA),

Its a close call, but CARNAHAN's VOTE on VOTE 2, the Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment is important, makes him superior to the Republican.

Not good on the war or big government, but on drug-reform issues, CLEAVER seems solid. I endorse EMMANUEL CLEAVER.

Missouri - 6th District
64068, 64119

Your US REPRESENTATIVE is the truly ghastly SAM GRAVES, a REPUBLICAN, of MISSOURI's 6th District.

GRAVES SCORED ZERO POINTS, for a TOXIC/EVIL designation.

For a member of the House to achieve ZERO ? as SAM GRAVES of MISSOURI?s 6th District and 65 others did ? they would have voted to:
1) spend $25 million more on anti-marijuana ads,
2) uphold the Justice Dept. campaign to arrest the sick & dying in med-pot states, voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment
3) authorize power to the Drug Czar?s office (ONDCP),
4) encourage terrible corruption with anti-drug task force federal grants,
5) spray poisons over the rain forest in Colombia (PLAN COLOMBIA),
6) support the police state powers of the PATRIOT ACT,
7) support an immoral and unjustified WAR IN IRAQ, killing tens of thousands and costing billions monthly,
8) authorize the build-up of a massive bureaucracy called HOMELAND SECURITY,
9) support a ten-fold increase in punitive fines for controversial broadcasts for TV and radio (Broadcast Decency Act), and
10) keep a torture school (SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS) operating in the USA at Fort Benning, Georgia.

GRAVES is EVIL. I highly endorse you support the DEMOCRATIC PARTY candidate SARA JO SHETTLES.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help SARA JO SHETTLES, as you could not find a more hostile voting record than the aptly named GRAVES. SAM reeks of death, in Iraq, in Colombia, in the cannabis fields, in his support of DEA raids of med-pot people, in supporting a torture school.

If you cannot find motivation in your heart to get involved with a campaign to purge a toxic bastard US Rep like Graves....

ROY BLUNT has failed AMERICA, failed Missouri and ought to be defeated.

I urge you to check out Democratic candidate JACK TRUMAN in the 7th District and sound his people out on the issues we reference in this survey. Missouri Democrats are a mixed bag but I will need you to ask TRUMAN's people where he stands especially on VOTE 2, Democratic Party amendments to STOP the JUSTICE DEPT. from undermining state medical marijuana laws.

Kansas - 3rd District

Your US Representative is DENNIS MOORE, a DEMOCRAT.

DENNIS MOORE scored 25 points, one of the ten lowest scores among Democrats, a FAILURE grade.

DENNIS MOORE VOTED WRONG EIGHT VOTES OF TEN, VOTING CORRECTLY TO;
5) oppose the spraying of poisons over the Colombian rainforest (PLAN COLOMBIA)

There's a quaint humanitarian soul somewhere inside DENNIS MOORE, what with opposing Plan Colombia and the torture school. Voting against Hinchey-Rohrabacher (Vote 2), voting to support the WAR (Vote 7), he can't be endorsed. I suggest you contact the Republican candidate CHUCK AHNER and ask his point of view in writing about medical marijuana and the annual vote in the House (Vote 2). Who knows, he might be a Ron Paul waiting to be discovered.
