I cannot vote for either of the three candidates who somehow ended up as choices. I will support Bob Barr if he can make the case. We do need change, and it must come now. Congress is out of control with wasteful spending and they do nothing but pay lip service to the massive problems facing this country. We can't continue to support Mexican citizens. The borders must be closed, drug trafficing stopped, and illegals sent home. We cannot continue to pay the price. Support for Mexican citizens is Mexico's job, and Mexico is a rich nation. No more anchor babies! We have enough Welfare babies here already. Our Welfare roles have been over stressed to cover illegal aliens. Social Security is for U.S. citizens only. Only U.S. citizens should have a right to a U.S.drivers license and SS number. 80% of our ports are owned and operated by foreign entities. The new Texas Corridor is being built by a Spanish Company who will in turn operate it and collect the tolls. We are turning this country over to foreign companies. No other country on the face of the globe does this. We have lost most of our manufacturing base because of stupid laws and the avoidance of American labor and our small farmers are being forced out of business because of unachievable laws. GMO and suicide seeds are being sold now to farmers. Our food supply is tainted with growth hormones and other medicines and additives. Bill Gates is stocking seed in a vault in Scandanavia. For what? To control the world's food supply some day? The government is trying to take over all water in this country, regardless of if it's a puddle in your back yard. Eminent Domain is a joke and Congress refuses to protect property owners. We should have resolved the energy crisis and health care issues over 30 years ago and we need to start today with opening up Anwar and building refineries. We already have paid for and buit the Alaskan pipeline. We don't need to spend one more day pointing fingers. The Commerce and Transportation Departments are operating as a self appointed government working outside of the Constitution under Executive Orders and has not been informing or answering to Congress, not that it would change anything because Congress is asleep at the switch about all of this and allowing it to happen. There are over 250 lobbyists per every single Congressman, and there are paybacks and favors being transferred between them. And, yes, it's illegal, but there obviously is no functional Ethics Committee in Washington. Campaign finance reform is a joke! The dollar is at an all time low and the Amero has already been minted for the North American Union. I don't know who approved that little ditty! The Commerce Department and President Bush has committed us to disbanning the U.S. Constitution....WITHOUT consent of Congress or the American citizens. The U.S. is bankrupt and no one seems to care. We just keep voting the same old do nothing people back into office and keep sliding down the path of no return. I think citizens must be blind not to see the demise of the U.S. coming at a such fast pace. The news media obviously hates America. It is seen in every other word. Yes, we need to bring troops home, but withdrawal has to be methodical. We can't continue giving all of our treasury away, not only for Iraq, but for every time we hand billions of dollars to thugs and barbarians. We get nothing in return for the money we give away. We are the largest donors to other countries in the world. The U.N. is a crooked organization with no oversight. We borrow to spend which makes no sense at all and there is no plan from anyone to pay off the National Debt. Earmarks are political paybacks. Stealing from the taxpayers is what it is! Our farmers are being pushed out of business and the trade deficit is out of balance. Something is wrong when the three top automakers are Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Automakers don't need 50 years to improve mpg, nor 20 more years. If we don't have real change soon in Washington and in Congress, there will be a revolt in this country. If anyone thinks they are going to get free anything in the future, they better think twice about it. There isn't money enough for more free stuff. Think about that when you go into the voting booth. I, personally, am going to vote out all encumbents on voting day. Those in Congress who have no clear understanding of the U.S. Constitution, and who do not abide by it, and have done nothing but blow hot air into the boob tube, need to be turned out of office. Term limits need to be applied at the voting booth. So, Mr. Barr, if you can make the case, you definitely will have my vote! I am a conscience voter and a registered Independent.

This has got me so upset because by doing this he will help hand the Presidency to Barrack and Michelle. I think with them in the White House and a Democratic congress this country will be in real trouble. I am really concerned about the Supreme court and other judicial appointments among other things. Please, please ask him and all Libertarian candidates to think about the outcome and of reconsider this Presidential bid. To me it is all about them and not about this country. No one from that party has any chance of winning. I just heard that Bob Baar has announced his bid for President on the Libertarian Party.

In the '20s and '30s the prohibition law created criminal barons such as Al Capone who was eventually sent to jail not for racketeering or murder but for not paying enough to the IRS. In Southern Italy they say that there they have the mafia but we in Britain have our government instead. When true justice prevails and the drug prohibition era is over then there will be real hope for this civilisation that has been brought to its knees by the combined vested interests of the military/industrial complex . The u.s uses the drug laws to destabilise the nations of south America and gives the CIA the excuse it needs to interfere in the affairs of the southern continent.The"War on Drugs' is a war that cannot actually be won.The drug laws create the crime that gives the state the excuse it needs to spend millions of taxpayers dollars on what has ,in effect,bacome a police-state. If a commodity that is pleasuresome and extremely addictive has a profit ratio for the controllers of about 2000:1 then no amount of policing and DEA officers and threats of long-term prison sentences is going to make any difference to the current situation where american suberbs have become like a warzone in some of the poorer neighbourhoods. The pharmaceutical industry has colossal lobbying power in Washington and profits from the druglaws by the creation of synthetic drugs whoich are actually more damaging to the body but the addict often decides to opt for the legal sythetic version of heroin called methadone rather than risk taking low quality street heroin.Methadone is just as addictive but when it's prescribed at least it hasn't been cut with impurities by the dealers. When the drug laws are repealed then the political establishment will have to do something real to alleviate inner city poverty and social exclusion rather than dishonestly shrug and let the drug-culture fill the economic vacuum,the unstated presumption being 'if they can't get work they might as well deal'.The result has been the appalling statistics that you quote and the resultant race-tensions and prejudice and stigmatisation. It's easy for a poorly educated white supremacist to believe that he's superior when so many African /Americans are languishing in jails many of whom never had a chance in a society that has wanted them to be criminalised.The political elites who allow these laws to remain in the statute book are the true culprits .

I realise it is a dangerous subject to get worked-up about.So much government propaganda for so many years has rendered the subject almost taboo for sane and sensible debate. In the U.K. the prisons are full with nearly 80,000 of the general population of about 60,000,000 incarcerated. According to independent research,over 80% of house burglaries are as a direct consequence of the drug-laws. The prime minister Gordon Brown has been told by the governments' special advisary committee that cannabis should remain a 'Class C' drug. Apparently he is considering reclassifying it back to class B,thereby making just possession of fairly small quantities an imprisonable offence. It is almost as if the major drugs dealers have got the governments in their pockets because they and the private security companies that have started running some of the prisons are the only beneficiaries of these laws.The losers are every single law abiding citizen who lives in any of the big towns and cities that have been blighted by the drug-culture,everyone who's ever been burgled, attacked or mugged , every small-time dealer and drug-mule who's been unfortunate enough to have been caught or set-up by the police and every unfortunate innocent life lost to a violent and gun-ridden culture.
