How many children have died from drugs; lives ruined, destroyed? Everything has to do with money. If marijuana was legal then the children would not be bothered by drug dealers. The time is now to make a better and safer life for the young. Kennedy said, "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." My fellow Americans, ask not what your children can do for you, ask what you can do for your children. Keep our children free of drug dealers. Let moms and dads, the community, the churches, clubs, friends, neighbors, relatives work together to protect our children whom we love so much. They deserve the best.
