WHY BREWER OPPOSES MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer recently told Arizona Attorney General Tom
Horne to seek a federal court decision on whether Arizona can enforce
its new medical marijuana law.

It seems as though Brewer cares that federal law triumphs over state
law and she doesn't want innocent citizens to willingly break it.

But how come she has passed and promoted so much legislation that
directly violates federal law and says she does it because the people
want it?

It is because Brewer does not care about federal law or what people
want. Brewer knows that medical marijuana would cause her friends, the
pharmaceutical companies, to lose business and not support her.

This is the same reason why she and most Republicans are so afraid of
health care because the real bosses in charge can and will lose profit.

So the next time you appreciate that Gov. Brewer cares about your
welfare and is the one fighting the federal government from
"controlling your life," think of this.
