Florida 2014 Medical Marijuana. Don't forget to vote on Nov. 4th!!! YES ON 2!!!!!!!!!!
It's up for vote in North Carolina too !!!
 
Once we pass this we have to continue to complain and try to amend as soon as possible. We need to have the people grow their own! Please remember this guys, we cant stop once we get this little piece of the pie. We need to keep organizing and voting in pro marijuana state reps.

I have been thinking for a long time about how good it could be if we can get even more organized with politics and info on politicians as a whole.

I have been creating this website/ app (in my head, I don't know how to do it but I know it can be done I just need to talk to the right people but I don't know them yet) that allows anyone with no knowledge of the political landscape of their area, to obtain key points on every political figure out there. Kinda like a baseball card, or a fantasy football league. I remember a couple years ago I went into a fantasy football league not knowing much about anyone or their stats and such, but with the right kind of info, I was able to make informed decisions about my picks and ended up in the middle of the pack.

I know for a fact the average American citizen does not have enough info to make educated decisions on who to vote for, from the top, being the president, and the way down to the city manager and local reps who get voted in.

We need a place where we can go and in minutes I can see the relevant info I need to make a decision on who I will be voting for when elections hit. The people need this. All these forums out here in the internet, so organized, all the info out here organized but I don't see a user friendly place to see who is who in the political world.

Who's with me!bongsmilie
 
Everyday I wake up and this idea doesn't waiver.

I read a lot and somewhere I read that if there is a problem, make a business out of it. I know for a fact that a user friendly, organization of political figures and their interests, type of website or app, SOMEWHERE, the average person can go to make an informed decisions on their responsibility as a citizen, is not around!

I don't know where to take this idea guys.

I don't want to be a buzz kill, but since it is FL Constitutional Amendment, I think it has an uphill battle. And it would be only the second time an Amendment passed.

Not only that, it is only for a list of illnesses unlike we have in CA where it is wide open.

So, the law that limits it to certain diseases will be challenged, IAC. An Amendment with these specific illnesses only, is not Constitutional, IMO.
