POLITICAL MONEY LIKE FORCE OF GRAVITY

The force of money in politics can be compared to the force of 
gravity ("Countermoves clouding medical marijuana push vote," Monday) 
- - a force very hard to stop.

A PAC like "Vote No on Amendment 2" does not have to disclose its 
contributors. Where is the money coming from? Who has such a powerful 
need to contribute money to prevent suffering patients from receiving relief ?

Without specific information, and by pure speculation, the possible 
groups that might suffer financially and might be contributors to 
this PAC could be private prison corporations, attorneys for defense, 
liquor industry (competition), pharmaceuticals (competition). There 
also would be fewer jobs for law enforcement, prosecution and judges.
