DEA promise

Hi Al,

 

In regard to Holder breaking his promise, my understanding was that the DEA would raid only if they thought state law was being violated. It said in the article that the dispensary was accused of not paying taxes. Are you saying that that is simply the excuse they will be using in the future?

Jeremy - We don't know yet because the warrant is sealed. I'm sure it will come out in the wash, though, and I'll have plenty to say about it once all the facts are in hand.

Aaaargggh...

I was so enjoying Obama's Town Meeting until he came to that question and not only dismissed it as... what? some kind of joke? a bunch of pothead teenagers stuffing the question ballot? but he made fun of it and got everyone to laugh along. A friend of mine says he has to do this now, because to do anything else, before his budget is passed, would be political suicide. But honestly, I rarely get mad, and I felt like throwing something at my flat panel. I wrote the White House a strongly worded letter... from a 53-year old mother and voter, not a teenage pot smoker (as if I'm somehow more important... but I think they think so). 

What can be done to make Obama take notice of this issue? This is the second time he has dismissed the question? Or do we just wait awhile longer as my friend suggests...
