AMENDMENT 44 SUPPORTED BY THE BIBLE

We're indebted to Mason Tvert and his work, re-legalizing cannabis in
my lifetime (Pot Fliers Flap Shrouded in Haze, Sept. 28, 2006),
placing Amendment 44 on Colorado's election ballot Nov. 7.

This is a chance for citizens to change an ignorant, anti-Christian
law. It is a chance for parents and mothers to help protect children
from prohibitionist society and its harms. A chance to guide police
toward serving and protecting, rather than maintaining a misguided
prohibition. A chance for true conservatives to stop government from
unsuccessfully spending more money to control what people put in their
bodies. A chance for DARE graduates who've been lied to to speak out.
And it's a chance for Christians to acknowledge what it means when
Christ God Our Father indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants
saying they are all good on literally the very first page of the Bible
(see Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30).

It's time to stop caging and persecuting people for using what God
says is good.
