Vote NO on Florida Constitutional Amendments 3 and 4

The legalization of Marijuana has brought on more problems than it has solved

In some of the states that have legalized marijuana such as Colorado, California, Oregon, and Washington, crime and drug use have gone through the roof since legalization took effect.

Moreover, these states have failed to bring in the tax revenue they hoped to, with many marijuana users continuing to purchase marijuana off of black market to avoid taxes and the high prices of dispensaries.

Many blue state residents agree that their state government should focus on cracking down on violent crime and addressing hard drug abuse instead of legalizing every drug under the sun.

Amendment 3 - Leagalizing marijuana recreational use

Trump throws support behind Florida pot legalization as DeSantis fights it

This is one thing for which I disagree with Trump

Trump also said he supported reclassifying marijuana under federal law.

DeSantis said Amendment 3 would allow people to carry enough pot to make dozens of joints and smoke them anywhere they want.

He said states such as Colorado, where marijuana has already been legalized recreationally, had failed to restrict places where the drug is consumed.

“Public use of this will be rampant,” DeSantis said. “You can’t point to a state that is better off for doing it.”

Some 33 states have legalized medical cannabis, while 11 states and Washington DC have also legalized recreational use. But cannabis use remains illegal at the federal level.

The US government's own National Institute on Drug Abuse states that "some research suggests that marijuana use is likely to precede use of other licit and illicit substances". It cites experiments on animals that show increased responsiveness to other drugs after being exposed to substances containing cannabis.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice claimed, "In Wisconsin, marijuana overdose visits in emergency rooms equal to heroin or morphine [sic], twice as common as Valium." [National_Institute_on_Drug_Abuse]

Republican Party won't get back to Voters

The Republican Party of Palm Beach County SUCKS!

I have been trying to reach their headquarters since September 1. In several e-mail attempts, I asked them what specifically they are doing to help our candidate, Laura Loomer in Congressional District 21 as well as what they are doing to defeat Amendment 3.

After several tries, yesterday I called at 9:30 and got a recording telling me to call back during normal business hours. Now, as this is the most important election of a lifetime coming up on November 3, one would think that normal business hours are 8 to 5.

With this attitude, it is no wonder we lose elections in Palm Beach County.

I called Tallahassee yesterday where the Republican Party of the State of Florida is headquartered. The receptionist in a voice recording said to leave my name and phone number. I now want to request their endorsement on all Amendments and understand which way they are leaning. We'll see how that works out.

Vote NO on Amendment 3--the "Jungle Primary"

BACKLASH — Leaders in both of Florida’s main political parties are starting to ramp up their opposition to Amendment 3, the measure that would upend the state’s political landscape by scrapping the existing closed primaries for legislative races and state offices, including as governor. If passed, primaries would be open to all voters and the top candidates regardless of party would advance to the general election (or what critics call a “jungle primary.”)

Here it comes — The Republican Party of Florida voted last week at its quarterly meeting to officially oppose the measure (the party already filed legal briefs against it last October). RPOF Chairman Joe Gruters said Monday the party is now “moving forward with our plans to try to take it down.” Democrats also don’t like the amendment either. State Sen. Bobby Powell, a West Palm Beach Democrat, along with other members of the Florida Legislative Black Caucus plan to hold a press conference today denouncing the measure as something that could lead to less Black and Hispanic representation.

On the margins — It’s not clear if there will be any kind of sustained paid campaign from either side although one political committee has begun evaluating some Facebook ads that opponents are already contending are misleading. Billionaire heath care executive Mike Fernandez put more than $6 million to get the measure in front of voters, but nearly all of that was before Amendment 3 made the ballot.

Doing the math — Still, a combined social media/earned media campaign could prove problematic for the citizen initiative since it needs to win 60 percent. One big question, however, is whether opponents are starting too late since mail-in ballots will be shipped out later this month.
