That support requires registering at the old courthouse on Lincoln and Ridge Streets by the end of this week and further, it means registering as a Democrat to be able to vote in the April 13 Democratic Caucus election. Kucinich's plantform [sic] includes decriminalizing cannabis and regulating it like alcohol. This is more relevant today in light of the Friday Feb. 6, 2004, 9th Federal Circuit Court ruling, (finally) rejecting the DEA's attempt to outlaw hemp food products. If Kucinich's plantform allows citizens to grow a few cannabis plants with THC, then it stands to reason American farmers may grow hemp without THC. It is time to reintroduce hemp as a component of American agriculture. This issue is important when we consider that cannabis prohibition is the Biblical root of many problems facing Earth today. Biblically discredited cannabis prohibitionists must be controlled like the plague and Kucinich is the true grassroots effort to do just that. Kucinich will put the U.N. in and get the U.S. out of Iraq in 90 days instead of two to three years, which is the best alternative plan if Kucinich is not elected. His platform includes creating a cabinet level Department of Peace to help prevent another Iraq situation in the future. Kucinich's platform includes taking 15 percent of the Pentagon budget and putting it toward education, including college, and national health care for all Americans. Currently we have an un-elected beast sitting in the President's seat and at the opposite end of the spectrum, we have Dennis Kucinich. Please consider Kucinich a Green in Democrat's clothing and endorse this candidate. Stan White - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
