As President of the U.S., G.W. Bush took the regulatory cap off of Oil prices in this country. He realized by doing so he could make tons of money for the good ole boys pumping oil from Texas. He also knew that the next president would be a Democrat who would have to try to clean up the mess he would be leaving behind.

In an effort to push for the legalization of cannabis we can make 4/20 a National Holiday. You need Congress to make a National Holiday.
