Time to rid those who do not work on the will of the people to be fired.

It is unjust for the Gang of Four to use the courts to deny medicine to those who report that they benefit. Is it necessary for the voters in Arizona to pass a resolution to regulate marijuana like alcohol for patients to obtain a natural herbal medicine that has worked for people around the world for thousands of years? I understand that a recent poll showed that six out of ten voters in Arizona would support an initiative to regulate marijuana like alcohol.

The Gang of Four ( Brewer, Horne, Montgomery, Kavanaugh ) should be prosecuted for Abuse of Power. Nothing in the State Constitution gives them the authority to interfere with a validly enacted state law because they don't like it. Nothing gives them authority to spend Millions of taxpayer dollars on lawsuit after lawsuit ( every one of which they have lost ) trying to overturn a valid law they don't like.

Prohibitionists like Bill Montgomery literally don't give a d*** about the welfare of individual citizens. That's you, me, and everyone you care about. They don't even care when their failed policy puts their own families in danger by destroying the economy and bank-rolling criminals and terrorists. The prohibitionist onslaught appears to be simply a war directed at all of us.
America, it is time to wake up! Prohibition is a cultural and economic assault on your money, on your careers, on your ability to put food on the table, have shelter, cloth yourself, and even survive or self-medicate. The fiscal cliff isn't the crisis—Prohibitionist control over America's politics and government is!
During alcohol prohibition, all profits went to enrich criminals and corrupt politicians. Young men died every day on inner-city streets while battling over turf. A fortune was wasted on enforcement that could have gone on education, etc. On top of the budget-busting prosecution and incarceration costs, billions in taxes were lost. Finally, the economy collapsed. Sound familiar?
Prohibitionists, and their criminal friends who live in a crack-house called Congress, are having a ball and it's all on our tab.

The people have spoken, and not just once. This has has been voted on several times and passed yet the politicians chose to try to subvert the will of the people. No, you do not know better than, we the people. Another way that the county attorney could ease the peoples pain would be to leave office.

agree, any real crime around? Medical marijuana HELPS very, very sicj people. I have seen a child ( 23 years old ) go from opiates for pain, 2 only medical marijuana & he is doing great! To me, that is saying an awful lot, who is missing his bowels, and a few other things, which needn't be discussed here. Leave the medical marijuana for the real patients who rely on it daily, to help keep them well , another day!

BM,
Is anybody in your office working on real crime?
Or, are you all obsessed with decimating Demon Weed?
