Talking point supporting End the drug war:
The Drug War is Wrong

That’s it, I have had it. There comes a time when the scale finally tips and you come down on one side or the other of an issue. Today is the day. I can no longer support the war. Too many people have died. It costs too much. It’s hypocritical and politically motivated. And if that were not enough, it has gone on for too long with inadequate results.
Please see link for the entire post. Thx.

Does not protect our children
by friend of the republic · added Fri Aug 14 03:26:33 -0700 2009 Discuss or Edit

When I was in highschool marijuana was ten times easier to get than beer or hard spirits. The reason why? Because beer and hard spirits are regulated and controlled by the government. You needed to be of age to buy them. Drug dealers do not care how old their customers are! Legalization, regulation, and education are the best way to protect our children.

Start a discussion based on science, not ideology
Supporting Restore Scientific Integrity to the White House

President Obama, you pledged to govern based on science rather than ideology. How can you justify excluding this enormous set of government programs and policies from consideration based on that principle? Establish a commision to study our program and others around the world to determine which policy best promotes the general welfare.

END IT!

the fact that people think its ok to destroy lives and families to keep the prison population full just because someone who is a grown adult decides to smoke a joint in the privacy of their own home is down-right disgusting. By the way i dont even smoke and havn’t for about 7 years now.

White House 2 is a multi-partisan network of 10540 citizens imagining how the White House might work if it was run completely democratically by thousands of people over the internet. It's free and all U.S. citizens can join.

We're setting priorities, collaborating on policy, and creating a massive database of 2867 talking points covering all sides of every important issue facing our country. Watch the video intro.

Getting involved is easy and fun. Just join and start setting your priorities, like a todo list. The more people who endorse a priority, the higher it rises in the charts. The more people who join the network, the more clout we will have with the President and the media.
