The gov.needs to bud out Ron Paul for President

All in all, we've put up one hell of a good fight. What happens tomorrow, we shall see. But we are living up to what Gandhi said, "At first they ignored us, then they laughed at us, then they fought us, and then we won." We're in the fighting phase now, and whether Prop. 19 passes or loses tomorrow, we'll be back.

Good luck to all you Prop. 19 supporters out there. We sure got their attention this time.

Shame on LAT for linking a searchable database of supporters of Prop 19. The only way to do that fairly is to publish ALL donors for ALL Props and Candidates. But we all know this will never happen, after the recent Citizens United Supreme Court ruling. So corporations can now give anonymously without fear of recrimination or publication. If a regular person wants to give $25 to prop 19, they face fear of publication on a searchable database. How many employers will search the database in search of "stoners" to fire. This is blatant blackmail. It discourages public input and financial support from real citizens. One's politics are deeply personal and should not be the subject of implied coercion. "Beware if you give, only large corporations can give with without fear of outing." A supposedly free press can do better. Of course, a free press belongs to the person (or conglomerate) that owns one.
