Is Chip Rogers For Small Government?

One of the up and coming stars in Georgia politics is Chip Rogers - my senator in Georgia and the Majority Leader of the Senate of Georgia. While I have plenty of issues with Georgia politics that Chip and the current governor are aware of - which I will detail soon in Real Heavy Politics - I found this online recently and wanted to share it with those who Chip represents.



In all probability Chip is unopposed as many of those in the Senate are every time around - the last time Chip was unopposed he got about 91% of those that bothered voting to click his name. Of course, that figure is reported as 100% by the news and is only available by digging into the stats of the spreadsheets. The Georgia media always reports those unopposed as getting 100% of the vote when in reality - even when unopposed some candidates may only get 80% or so.

What is the solution - DO NOT CAST VOTES FOR UNOPPOSED CANDIDATES --- Don't waste your vote.

Exposing the Fraudulent Criminalization of Marijuana

From the link:

For almost 40 years, the United States has waged a war on its own citizens who have used marijuana as a part of a drug culture originally encouraged by the government. The war was commenced despite the government's own findings that marijuana posed less of a risk to American society than alcohol, and that the greatest harm that would result from criminalization would be the injury caused to those arrested for possession and use. The harm caused by the war extends beyond its 15 million prisoners; its cost has exceeded a trillion dollars, and it has benefited only those who profit from the illegal cultivation and sale of marijuana
