Johnson NO CHANGE WITH OBAMA U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric Holder announced that even if the people of California pass Proposition 19 to legalize pot, he will still prosecute. Yet, the feds refuse to do a real study on pot. President Obama appealed the federal judge's order on don't ask, don't tell, even though he ran on a platform to rid us of this unconstitutional law, and still promises to change it. Change. What change? These are just two of same-old, same-old we have had to suffer under with president after president and Congress after Congress. President Nixon declared the War on Drugs in 1969. That is over 30 years, and we aren't winning, are we? While compromise is the key to good politics, does President Obama think if he continues not doing right, Republicans will start supporting him? Go ask Rush. I'm still supporting Proposition 19. It is time for citizens to take power back from lip-service politicians. George A. Johnson Lompoc - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
