Barack Obama Doesn't Support Marijuana ( Cannabis ) Decrim / Legalization : Message to MPP Despite what the MPP (Marijuana Policy Project) video might suggest, Barack Obama does not support marijuana decrim. On the subject of cannabis Barack Obama is weak and most certainly does not support marijuana decrim. Support a politician in a day and age where 75%+ of voters support medical marijuana and he says, "I won't risk any political capital for it". Support that? That's not worthy of our support or vote. We are the majority, we know what is right, we demand it! Let MPP know that you are not happy with their deceptive video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=wQr9ezr8UeA http://mpp.org Send a message to Barack Obama that luke warm support and worrying about political capital is unacceptable on the issues of medical marijuana and decrim.

A spokesman for Obama's campaign blamed confusion over the meaning of decriminalization for the inconsistencies, and said that while Obama does not support decriminalization, "we are sending far too many first-time, nonviolent drug users to prison for very long periods of time, and that we should rethink those laws."

marijuana (MPP.org) MPP.org Marijuana prohibition has failed. It's time for a new approach, and MPP is leading the way. Since their founding in 1995, they've been making real progress in reforming U.S. marijuana laws, by: ... lobbying for legislation and running ballot initiative campaigns to allow seriously ill patients to use medical marijuana with their doctors' recommendations ... lobbying for legislation and sponsoring ballot initiatives to replace marijuana prohibition with a sensible system of regulation ... garnering widespread media coverage of the need to change marijuana policies ... lobbying Congress to reduce the White House drug czar's budget for his deceptive ad campaigns ... building coalitions of supportive individuals and organizations to advocate on behalf of marijuana policy reform ... and much more. Because MPP believes that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is prison, they focus on removing criminal penalties for marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana medically available to seriously ill people who have the approval of their doctors. They know that real change takes more than good ideas, and so MPP is all about getting results — changing policies and laws for the betterment of all Americans. Tags: weed smoking maryjane high |

Duke MPP Public Policy Program The Duke Master of Public Policy program empowers men and women by providing them with the rigorous academic training, real-world experience, and ethical framework they need to become leaders. Here, you'll find peers and mentors engaged in seeking solutions to the most pressing problems of our time. Our graduates start nonprofits, run government agencies, work at the World Bank, serve in the White House and on the Hill, and consult on policy issues around the world. Because our students will enjoy such diverse and dynamic careers, we emphasize the core analytic and professional skills important in any context: economic and statistical analysis, political and ethical analysis, writing and presentation skills, and teamwork. Our small class size allows students to have meaningful interactions with faculty. We emphasize group work, which cultivates a collaborative spirit among students and leads to strong alumni connections. Our faculty combines academic research and real-world experience to go beyond theory to action. The extraordinary resources available at Duke and at nearby universities also make it possible for our MPPs to pursue their particular interests, whether in human rights, education reform, AIDS policy, climate change, or almost any issue. If you want to join people with a passion for creating change, and you're thinking of graduate education in public policy, I invite you to consider the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy at Duke University. It's a great place to build a future. Tags: public policy international development global affairs non profilt NGO government health social |

MPA/MPP Challenge: The Battle on the Home Front Throughout our history American men and women have answered the call to serve. They have sacrificed life and limb. Today, more than ever, they need our help as they wage their own battle on the home front to receive the benefits they deserve. It is our time to fight for them, it is the least we can do. The One George Campaign is a simple, yet symbolic way we can say "thank you" to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. One dollar may seem to be next to nothing, but one dollar from each American can create change. www.onegeorgecampaign.com Tags: military disabled veterans personality disorder disability ratings war george campaign MPA MPP challenge battle |
