The new poll
regarding marijuana legalization, released today by the Pew Research Center,
shows a blatant disregard from the Obama Administration and does not accurately
reflect the sentiment of the American people. We have more than 300 million citizens living
in the U.S. and the Pew Research Center’s poll, which reflects the opinion of
1,501 persons polled, is unlikely to be the opinion of an entire country! Pew Research should try to poll communities
who have had to ban marijuana dispensaries in states where marijuana is legal
under state but not federal law. Clearly,
Pew has chosen their “sampling” to serve a desired outcome.
Given the
fact that the Obama Administration is also not taking a frontline approach to
preventing drug use, it is no surprise the country has lost the President’s
ability to lead on this issue. Various news
publications are using the new Pew poll to sway public opinion right into the
hands of a liberal agenda, silencing the voice of all the American people,
while playing into the hands of liberal campaign donors.
Citizens and
advocates who have made sacrifices and worked hard to help enforce the Obama
Administration’s policies on opposing marijuana legalization are being baited
and switched! The President’s deafening
silence is dismissive of those he counted on in his first term, who now seem
no less than irrelevant to him. United
States Attorney General Eric Holder, who has made several statements regarding
corrective action by the Department of Justice, regarding marijuana
legalization initiatives in Colorado and Washington State, has also been
missing in action!
Currently, marijuana
is being sold to voters as “safer than alcohol” while the marijuana lobby has
partnered with the alcohol industry in Colorado and Washington State, in an
effort to plan a regulated federally illegal marijuana market. In the meantime, President Barack Obama has
his own brewery at the White House.
What’s next? The Obama version of
Billy Beer?
