Feds raid SF medical marijuana dispensary San Jose Mercury News - 22 hours ago "Please do some research before you make yourself look any dumber." whos the moron now??
DUH. I can't believe people let that piece of shit fool them. People threw way too much faith into him. Why the fuck isn't Ron Paul in office
they are going to institute mandatory civil service. in the GIVE bill it is written as "exploring" mandatory service,but when it comes to the government you know what that means.. in a year or two it will be mandatory..
If I get drafted I hope they send me to the front lines. God knows we'll be in war with one country or another at all times. I wanna go out in a blaze of glory. Haha. Too bad real life isn't like Halo. That'd be fun. This sucks though. Obama isn't the person anyone really thought he'd be. Because well, the fat cats control everything. Not the president. *sigh* I don't agree with the way this country is run maaaaaaaaan.
what the fucking fuck?? im assuming he took control, and was pressured into backing off and repairing any change. I guess the same would happen with pot... but sheeet man 2 days after???
lol,, calm down,this was a product of the moron not reading what he signed.. stem cell research is still legal,just federal funding is banned at least through september. this amendment has been pushed through every year since 1996,it was on page 456 of the omnibus. if the moron actually reads what he signs this possibly will get lifted after september,but to be honest i wouldnt hold my breath. he is a fucking tool..
I honestly dont give a shit about politics, seeing as how I'm a minor and it really doesnt effect me now. i'll probably care in like 3 years though.
the mandatory civil service will begin with middle schoolers.. so if i were you,i would care.. doesnt 200 hours of community service per year as a requirement to graduate sound good to you??
i cared about politics since i was like 13, but chose to avoid any news because i was a very angry person at the time, and that just added a shit ton of rocket fuel to the all ready epic fire
I stand corrected. This is what I was basing my post on: http://www.dailynews.com/opinions/ci_11979801 :cheers2:
he can't be the antichrist becauce the antichrist is somebody that nobody thinks they're the antichrist
Also I just read that GIVE bill and there says nothing about a draft into the military but to volunteer X amount of hours. How is that bad again? The GIVE Act (H.R. 1388): Creates 175,000 New Service Opportunities and Rewards Americans for Commitment Grows the number of volunteers nationwide to 250,000, up from 75,000. The bill also links the full-time education award to the maximum authorized Pell Grant award amount in order to keep up with rising college costs. Provides Incentives for Middle and High School Students to Engage in Service Establishes the Summer of Service program that engages middle and high school students in volunteer activities in their communities and allows them to earn a $500 education award to be used for college costs. Makes High School Students Part of Solution to Challenges in their Communities Establishes Youth Engagement Zones, a new service-learning program to help bridge partnerships between community based organizations and schools in high-need, low-income communities to engage high school students and out-of-school youth in service-learning to address specific challenges their communities face. Recognizes and Supports Colleges and Universities Engaged in Service Establishes the Campuses of Service to support and recognize institutions of higher education with exemplary service-learning programs and assists students in the pursuit of public service careers. Boosts Opportunities for Disadvantaged Youth Expands opportunities for disadvantaged youth, including those with disabilities, to become more involved with service and strives to include people of all ages and those from diverse background in volunteerism. Creates Green and Other New Service Corps to Meet Key Needs in Low-Income Communities Establishes four new service corps to address key needs in low income communities, including a Clean Energy Corps to encourage energy efficiency and conservation measures, an Education Corps to help increase student engagement, achievement and graduation, a Healthy Futures Corps to improve health care access, and a Veterans Service Corps to enhance services for veterans. Broadens Scope of Collaborative Service Efforts Expands the focus of the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) to include disaster relief, infrastructure improvement, environmental and energy conservation, and urban and rural development. Encourages service partnerships with other federal agencies. Recruits Scientists and Engineers to Service to Keep America Competitive Recruits scientists, technicians, mathematicians and engineers into national service to help keep America competitive. Expands Service Opportunities for Older Americans and Public-Private Partnerships Creates two new fellowships to engage social entrepreneurs, boomers and retirees, the private sector and Americans from all generations in service. ServeAmerica Fellowships: ServeAmerica Fellows are individuals who propose their own plans for serving in their communities to address national needs and are matched up with a service sponsor. Silver Scholarships and Encore Fellowships: These programs offer boomers and seniors, age 55 or older, opportunities to transition into service post-career as well as entrance into new careers in the public or nonprofit sector. Creates a Nationwide Community-Based Infrastructure to Leverage Investments in Service Builds a nationwide service infrastructure through community-building investments and social entrepreneurship. Community Solutions Fund: Creates a Community Solutions Fund pilot program that awards competitive matching grants to social entrepreneur venture funds in order to provide community organizations with the resources to replicate or expand proven solutions to community challenges. Establishes Call to Service Campaigns Includes a Call to Service Campaign to launch a national campaign encouraging all Americans to engage in service and to observe September 11th as a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
i know what you were basing your post on,but the new policy never said the raids would stop,just that they would only intervene when they felt both state and federal law were violated. that as shown here means they are still going to monitor the clinics and look for the tiniest state violation as a excuse to go in.. its just smoke and mirrors to make folks believe there is some meaningful policy shift when there hasnt been.
i stated it was civil service,and again worded it as community service. "mandatory volunteerism" is a oxymoron. its a bad thing when you are forced to do it . this used to be a free country.
