The recent US Supreme Court decision allowing freedom of speech rights to Corporations was not what the 1st Amendment intended. Corporations are not people, they do not vote, they do not have representatives in Congress, they do not need the US Constitution to provide rights to them. This amendment would clarify that the first amendment rights to free speech only apply to living human beings.

When President Obama ran for President in 2008, he said he would leave Medical Marijuana regulation in the hands of the states that have legalized it. Now the DOJ and the IRS are conducting a war on the medical marijuana industry without any explanation. Marin County's oldest dispensary was forced to close when the DOJ threatened their landlord with seizure of the property. Please stand with the majority of Americans who want medical marijuana legalized!

In his letter to the Danbury Baptist Association, Thomas Jefferson wrote "... I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State." Unfortunately while our government was designed to safeguard itself from scaling this 'wall of separation', our politicians individually not only regularly and blatantly climb over the wall, but are making increasingly daring attempts to drag the rest of us over as well. Our forefathers, with amazing clarity and will, saw the inherent dangers of Theocracy. Many of our current politicians ignore those same dangers by using religious materials, speech and symbolism in their campaigns and while in office.

In 2008, President Obama signed the UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities and that's where it has ended. The Convention sits at the White House and has not been passed on to the U.S. Senate for ratification.

The USA pays for the prosecution and incarceration of millions of its citizens, selectively mostly people of color, for substances less harmful than alcohol and tobacco. Families are broken up, and many are disenfranchised for life. End this tool for enriching Big Pharma and other legal drug pushers, a War which also empowers corrupt governments (including our own).
