Wouldn't it be nice if we could clear all the cobwebs from our brains?...all blockage to our body's communication system restored to perfect neural function. Nothing forgotten and no easy acceptance of misguided information. "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so," warned my favorite author, who humbly intoned, "My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water."

The world wide web is rapidly creating perfect communication function to our global body politic and we, my friends, are riding the wave and about to make a giant leap forward to our ultimate goal, peace on earth.

In hearing and reading of the terrible struggles of people around this planet I see that a great notion, self-government, has struck most nationalities and races. It's an idea who's time has come to effectively influence the policies of the world.

Today mass communication, social networking and other high-technologies allow us to band together and form a powerful united front for good over evil more easily and quickly than ever before. The web is the fastest growing communications medium in the history of the world. A powerful tool, a window of opportunity, in our war of good over evil; the Internet continues to revolutionize the way we communicate and has enormous potential for reshaping the political process.

I don't believe in God as some powerful deity who oversees us but as the Holy Spirit, the all knowing super-consciousness, which is a part of all of us whether we acknowledge it or not. The part that is eternal and just presently inhabits this earthly body. The part for good over evil, that unites us in this Holy War.

Our Founding Documents are based on principles that Christians and many other faiths, as well as many atheists and agnostics, hold dear. The Spirit of '76 was the Holy Spirit and is our true north.

Real warriors fight for what is right! They are NOT robot enforcers or killing machines that just follow orders. "Laws control the lesser man... Right conduct controls the greater one." The one and only Mark Twain encourages us to, "Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest."

Get tough on child abuse! About 5 a day die from abuse or neglect. Most become victims at 18 months or younger. In 2010 1,537 died, almost 50% were under the age of 1, almost 80% were under the age of 4. The survivor's connection between abusive childhood, delinquent behavior, and adult drug and alcohol abuse has been known for many years. Prohibition is a war on abused children.

Save lives, don’t ruin them! Real warriors get their adrenaline rush making us all safer, catching child abusers, savage rapist and killers! Control sexual predators and the violent and we will move much closer to peace on earth!!

Right now, really violent predators roam free and rape kits go unprocessed while our precious resources are depleted chasing nonviolent drug users. Treatment is seven times cheaper than prison. Get tough on violent crime! Show fiscal responsibility, demand morally correct policy! Restore Justice, the guardian of liberty!

Vote: Do You Support Legalizing Marijuana for Recreational Use? Katie Couric is asking are we becoming a “Marijuana Nation?” Vote in the poll and share your thoughts! Katie, we are restoring Justice and Saving the American Dream, self-government! The results show the American people are wise to big government propaganda and are not morally bankrupt.

90.72% say YES right NOW!

Here is a poll in my home town news. Also YOU can go to the Stephenville Empire Tribune and leave a comment or write a Letter To the Editor.

Those who vote no, please consider, how morally bankrupt it is to punish nonviolent adults for making a safer health choice, cannabis or marijuana, compared to other medicinal/social drugs. The tobacco, alcohol and prescription drug gangs cause more death annually than all illicit drugs!

Abstinence is safest but cannabis or marijuana is also a safer health bet for teenagers than those before named "legal choices." No deaths from cannabis or marijuana!!

Texans are far from morally bankrupt and we don't like being taken for fools. Check out how hard our legislatures are already working to reduce prosecutorial misconduct and use of junk science. Junk science equals reefer madness in my book. As more learn and accept the true facts we will restore Justice!

An alphabetical outline of all the experts who are quoted in the creator of the Drug Truth Network - Dean Becker's new book: To End The Drug War can be found here. In February it will begin sales and promotion. Please like and share. Thanks!

MPP just announced, "The New Hampshire House of Representatives just became the first legislative chamber in US history to vote in support of ending marijuana prohibition! Polls show 60% of voters in the state support HB 492," and MPP, "won't rest until that includes a majority of their state legislators."

The state with the best-known of all mottos,"Live Free or Die," approved the Bill which would legalize marijuana for adults in and establish a system in which it is regulated in a way similar to alcohol. "The measure will now be referred to a committee to review the revenue aspects of the bill, after which it will return to the full House for a second vote in February or March. If approved, it will then be considered by the state Senate."

The people believe in self-government and self-medication!

Together we can save the American dream, self-government. True American patriotism is a willingness to shoulder our duty, to challenge the government when it’s wrong, to be a Rebel with Just Cause!

The World's Leading Experts Issue Standards to Restore Classification of Cannabis as a Botanical Medicine! The American Herbal Pharmacopoeia monograph lays the scientific foundation for quality assurance and expanded research. "Washington, DC -- In an historic move, the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP) released the first installation of a two-part Cannabis monograph yesterday that classifies cannabis (marijuana) as a botanical medicine, alongside many other widely accepted Complementary and Alternative Medicines."

Why are the original medicines called alternatives? Why do we call it "practicing" medicine?

How did Colorado disrupt the Drug War? “Marijuana has been illegal because of the perception of harm surrounding it — that’s how they made it illegal, that’s how it is illegal currently,” Mason Tvert tells David Martinez in the 3D Cannabis Center’s bustling lobby. On this afternoon the quiet of the store turned more festive upon seeing him enter at precisely 4:20. He is greeted by smiling customers with high fives, thank yous and even a few photo and autograph requests. “Our opponents’ goal has been to maintain a perception of harm. So our idea has been to get people to understand that marijuana is not as harmful as they’ve been led to believe, and not as harmful as a product like alcohol that is already legal.” Mason Tvert helped create and served as the head honcho of the Colorado group aptly named Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (aka SAFER)!! He has definitely earned the honor of being named a 2014 Rebel with Just Cause.

Alison Holcomb, the lead architect of Initiative 502, which legalized marijuana in Washington state has also clearly earned the honor of being named a 2014 Rebel with Just Cause. Declaring that the ACLU is ready for a fight, Holcomb, says the state’s attorney general is wrong in his opinion that cities and counties can legally ban pot businesses (like we have dry counties for alcohol in Texas).

Championed by President Jose Mujica, Uruguay chooses self-government!! In 2013 same-sex marriage and cannabis were legalized. President Jose Mujica has certainly earned the honor of being named as the other 2014 Rebel with Just Cause. "Uruguay frequently ranks as one of the most developed and prosperous countries in Latin America. Uruguay is home to 3.3 million people." Many believe Jamaica will be the next country to legalize this healing plant.

Reflections on the Best Year Ever in Drug Policy Reform by Ethan Nadelmann This has been a year of successes! But I hope Ethan's being too pessimistic about the future. I am still hopeful of a cannabis drug policy changes happening sooner rather than later....

10 of the Biggest Moments in 2013! "Members of Congress in February introduced historic legislation, HR 499: The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act, to remove cannabis from the control of the Drug Enforcement Administration and authorize the US Department of Treasury to license state-authorized retail marijuana producers and distributors. Although Congress refused to vote on the measure in 2013, it was the most-viewed legislation on the Congress.gov website."

The Media and Drugs: A Long Way Still to Go! David Borden discusses why we still can't rely on the media to get drug policy right. Support reform!! The Drug War Chronicle has offered comprehensive coverage of the War on Drugs for 16 years. Like them on FaceBook, please.

Wow! Just watched American Addict!! Each individual must take responsibility for our own health and keep a copy of all test, etc. in our at home medical file. Beware of so-called"experts" advice and research it on your own. YOU be the top expert on YOU! "Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint," warns Mark Twain, the man who's pen-name means safe water.

The US has 5% of the world's population, we consume 50% of the pharmaceuticals and 80% of the prescription narcotics in the world! In truth less than 1% of our people are actually addicted to anything illegal.

To sell Prozac Ely Lily advertised that all the anguish people feel is really biochemical and with that all the learning of western civilization is thrown out, creating a society that has lost empathy for itself and other human beings, a society caught up in the end product. Are our children just objects to be tinkered with using drugs? Dear reader, check out, Toxic Psychiatry: Why Therapy, Empathy and Love Must Replace the Drugs, Electroshock, and Biochemical Theories... by Peter R. Breggin.

Companies have hidden adverse side effects in order to get FDA approval. The drugs stays on the market just long enough for the morally bankrupt to recoup their substantial investment, only then does the bought and paid for FDA jump in to save lives!!??#$%*()??!!

Disband the FDA & DEA!! Clear the CORPwebs and COPwebs!!

"Not that most people didn't already know that the drug war is a joke, but this makes it official."

Return to our roots, self-government or the freedom philosophy! Once all voluntary associations were permissible in America -- economic and social. Support a free market economy! End Lobbying!

Predatory capitalism vs. Beneficent capitalism

The predatory capitalists such as the morally bankrupt banksters, the military industrial complex and the drug companies including alcohol, tobacco and other empire builders with leaders in their pockets are the evil doers our founding documents are meant to protect us from. They make capitalism abhorrent with their predatory capitalism. Predatory capitalism due to big government interference and protection destroys people, benign or ethical capitalism, America's founders' vision of the free market, creates a world of abundance for all.

Here, find a coalition of antiwar organizations, peace and justice advocates, and citizens of conscience that challenge our elected leaders to end the US wars of aggression in Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Middle East, and bring our troops home.

"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native criminal class except Congress," in our friend Twain's and my opinion. Fix our broken system by prosecuting those who take the oath but don't follow the Constitution. The Freedom Index: A Congressional Scorecard Based on the US Constitution is one super cool tool!! What's wrong is they swear to uphold our Constitution but too many DO NOT!

I salute all true patriots, rebels with just cause who do everything they are able to do to realize the American dream! A dream worth striving for: of self-government; freedom from big government tyranny and oppression! Strengthen our system, set it to rights! Escape from tyranny!

The real cause of this huge quagmire of failed policy is the beast, big government, that money hungry beast, Uncle Sam! Ma Freedom tells it like it is! The beauty of it is when we focus on down-sizing our government we regain our roots of self-government and secure the blessings of liberty for future generations and ourselves.

Together we will ...Restore Justice, the Guardian of Liberty! and Save the American Dream!!

Since 2006 I have awarded two "Rebel with Just Cause" portraits yearly, each dedicated to the freedom philosophy or the American dream. True American patriotism is a willingness to shoulder our duty, to challenge the government when it’s wrong, to be a Rebel with Just Cause! "Please "like" my Rebels With Just Cause FaceBook page. I appreciate your encouragement more than words can say!"
