CA Democratic Party Remains Neutral On Prop 19

Last week The 420 Times alerted you to the fact that the Executive Board of the California Democratic Party was going to vote on whether or not to endorse Proposition 19. They did so, and in true politician fashion, they decided to…do nothing.
The Los Angeles Times reports:
“[Democrats] decided to adopt a neutral position on Proposition 19, leaving the many local Democratic committees and organizations free to endorse the measure. Advocates for an endorsement cited many reasons to back the initiative, but opponents pressed one overriding concern: a yes vote could damage statewide candidates in competitive races.”
I’m sure some local democrats will endorse the measure, but that’s not the point. The problem is we cannot count on our major political figures or parties anymore. All they know how to do is cover their own butts. They have forgotten how to lead.
So it is up to us. Marijuana advocates, independent voters and thinkers, and the new media. We will begin, fund, support, and vote on our own measures, despite the lethargy of the American political system. We are here to shock it back to life. The paddles are ready, and the shock comes in November.

Voting “YES” will give more control to the Government, and fat cats. It will also create government run dispensaries and growers. We need to legalize it while setting rules and regulation. But without big brother or fat cats controlling it.
VOTE NO to PRO 19.
It just good advertising, do the research and you will find out for your self.
