That's change dot ORG
Not change dot GOV. I think it's just some guy's private undertaking. It has nothing to do with Baracko.
So did he give any answers
So did he give any answers or responses yet or what?

Maybe that's why Obama went to the Supreme Court
The other day, he and Biden went there. I wonder if he just made sure all is well, so he can present to us a supposedly authentic birth certificate. We'll just have to wait for the next episode.

The website is no longer
showing the results. Lol, they probably did that because the pro-cannabis issue was # 1.
It'll be interesting tomorrow if they completely omit the winning issue from their National Press Club thingy...
done
but i noticed something.
is change.org related to OBAMA?
is this a sister site to change.gov?
The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

Oh my, we have problems!
First, notice there are nearly 9,000 voters for "Legalize Rec and Med Use" - in 1st by about 1500. Second place is free healthcare... Second Place is FREE HEALTHCARE. Got that? But it gets worse. Another 7500 folks come up with third place of... "End the4 War On Drugs." OK, hippies, back away from the bong before you vote... I am perhpas the loudest voice for a "revolution of one" kind of individualism, but when one desires to win a popularity contest, one must band together with like minds...
On to #4... saving small businesses from oppressive government legislation. Better, but how about we save individuals and the Constitution (if we are pretending there is still a Constitution in effect?)
Down in 11th place, we have the sad little stoners voting to decriminalize pot and hemp. They actually skipped right over the #1 and #3 sympathetic choices to stake out their own little island. Now I don't know who posted in what order, but at least two of the three posters bear responsibility for splitting this group of clearly like minded individuals. Who would do a thing like that?
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
you get 10 votes
so you can spread votes around, but there are not alot of good choices.
On the other hand, it might be nice to have more liberty minded people discussing things.
I do think we have been able to make some good points against socialized medicine and annoyed the hell out of the entitlement queens.
Legalizing hemp would
be a great way to boost the economy for rural America.
It would also be a good way to get off the dependence of Saudi oil.
"Take my freedoms for all I
"Take my freedoms for all I care! Just make it legal for me to smoke marijuana!"
What a dumb subject to be talking about in our country's current state. Marijuana has nothing to do with being a criminal, it is a health issue.
It is the same for the tobacco industry. They wont alter it because marijuana is also a product that pulls in money for the crooked ones sitting in the house.
Let's talk about the FED, and how it's already destroying our country.
I feel sick...
I feel like children grasping in the air at the adults-- grasping for candies and toys. Are we only going to get 1 toy? Oh wait, Change.org says top 10, so we'll get 10 treats then screw the rest. The people have been heard.
And nothing is guaranteed. And these will only be 'addressed' by Obama. And more of the same. And change can sometimes be worse.
And why haven't we stormed Congress yet? Why haven't we arrested anyone yet? Why do we keep watching videos and get mad and that's it?
And the rich get richer, and the poor get stupider, and what will it take before you lose your mind and do something amazing?!
I'm afraid to act alone. There are strength in numbers. Will you go to prison with me? Will you be pelleted and gassed and stomped upon and tazed with me?
I want liberty.
if you feel sick... maybe
if you feel sick...
maybe you should try a joint? Might make you feel better. I hear it alleviates nausea. Besides, the right to use medicine that works hits the nail on the head of liberty. Think about it.
well...
IMHO
It's already been shown that change.org will finagle the votes however they like (remember the immigration vote? "enforce our existing laws" was in the top three, then suddenly it went from ~4k votes to ~100 votes and fell to 38th place).
Then there's the matter of taking part in "democracy"... YUCK! SHOW SOME NADS BARRY AND FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION!!!
That said, getting some relevant topics like this into the top spots will be educational to the masses. I personally think Health Freedom is MUCH more important and all encompassing than legalizing marijuana. Even though I advocate legalization, I won't vote for it because I'd rather see Health Freedom rise up the ladder:
http://www.change.org/ideas/view/health_freedom
And as FreeManOnLand said below, ending "corporate personhood" is probably THE most important topic on the whole site to promote:
http://www.change.org/ideas/view/end_corporate_personhood
That's my 2 cents (actually $1 adjusted for inflation).

What he said!

the only reason he would consider doing it...
It would give him an excuse to appoint a Cannibus Czar. He seems eager to create more government bureaucracy so this might be enough to push him over the edge.

His Answer Is Already NO!
Sanjay Gupta, who will be appointed Surgeon General, has already spoken against legalization of it in a recent CNN article and Obama will not allow for legalization. He has already released a statement against it. I just can't find it right this second.
If anyone believes Obama will bring change, they are right. The change will be an even larger government and even more control of your economic and civil liberties.
This is evident through his proposed deficit spending which will cause you to be taxed through increased pricing or through reducing government promises that were already stolen through each of our paychecks with the promise of providing us retirement and healthcare. When Social Security was announced, it was there to provide for complete retirement and not just to supplement it. Social Security payments have been delayed by pushing up the age when one can receive it and inflation has relegated payments received through Social Security are irrelevant. Inflation because of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve printed out $8 trillion in the last six months and dwarfed the robbery of Federal Income taxes by almost $7 trillion. His proposed tax cuts in his stimulus plan has no correlated spending reductions so this inflation will continue with Obama but with even great viggor. Obama speaks of no oversight or control or elimination of the Federal Reserve, it will just be his tool to finance his trillion dollar deficits.
War will continue, possibly escalate, as evident through his Defense Department picks.
Bailouts for the rich will continue, as will subsidies to the poor who have not been robbed of their paychecks through taxation. Take a look at all of his bailout prosal.
Take a look at Obama's voting record for the real answer. Don't pay attention to his moving lips of his Presidential campaign. He lied to everyone to get the votes. Just look up "Obama lied" on YouTube if you are a Obama follower and you will here his waffling on the CFR, Pot, and others aspects. He backed down from his Robin Hood promise to steal more from the rich for everyone else days after he was announced the winner.
I remember my neighbor, who was campaigning for Obama, who tried to explain things to me about realllocation of wealth that Obama subscribes to. He said, "You see, the way I look it, there is this pot of money that the government has and I feel it would be better to get the less fortunate an helping hand as opposed to wars. Bush wasted our money on wars, Obama will spend that on those in need."
While I agree Bush and his administration wasted our stolen funds on war, the fact of the matter is the pot of money is empty. Trillion dollar deficits means expenses exceed income by a trillion dollars. They either have to finance this deficit through taxation (which he can't do as Americans are taxed enirely too much), borrowing (China has already lost their lust for our debts), or creation of money through the Federal Reserve. Obama is choosing the last option and this will have dire consequences for us all.
Obama followers blame Bush, but there is more history than the past 8 years. Clinton borrowed from our welfare system that is broken and that is how he achieved a surplus. It's a slight of hand trick in accounting.
I understand the appeal of Obama because he spoke of helping this country. He will not. He will continue the path of past Republican and Democratic Presidents and administrations as evident through his voting record and rhetoric.
I just hope Obama followers will see the writing on the wall and perhaps see that free society is based on sound money. Sound money would eliminate the Federal Income tax, Federal Reserve, eliminate these social welfare and corporate bailout programs, and eliminate these wars in other countries that are not our business.
Take a look at your paycheck before Federal Taxes, Social Security, and Medicare is taken out and just think what kind of impact that would have on your own financial situation. I bet you could then retire without the help of the government, could fund your own healthcare without the government, be debt free, and retire substaintially earlier than what the government allows. We are all suckers to be forced to work till almost 70 years old. Too bad the true freedom fighter was casted aside.
Oh well, if the government is still functioning around 2012, Ron Paul will be a possibility. Don't feel bad, Obama followers, for making a mistake. I did when I voted for Bush. The important thing is to not feel poorly about your past mistakes, it is more important to learn from them and take better action when you have a second chance.
That's true
Obama did release a statement in the last two weeks saying something to the effect that decriminalization wasn't something that he "was interested in at this time."
As Dr. Paul has said, just be Constitutional.
Most federal governance is unConstitutional and, technically, is unenforceable. The so-called Constitutional scholars, such as Obama, have the world believing, otherwise.
Produce the long form birth certificate, Obama. Ha! It doesn't exist, does it? I can produce mine. Anybody else? Perhaps that's what is necessary. Everybody send a copy of their long form birth certificate to the Supremes. Will that get their attention?
He already released his
He already released his birth certificate. You idiots just think its fake.
Apparently, He Only Released It To You
Let's see it.

He did not
He released his certificate but not his certification, if you don’t know the difference well one is easily editable by computers (i.e. certificate) the other (i.e. certification) is sign by a few people in the hospital where you were born(i.e. nurse,doctor,registry nurse).

Great idea Obama!
run your presidency based on a popularity contest on a web site. I guess he can't figure out what to do so he needs polls and input from the internet to be a leader.
Exactly
That's also why he hired all the same people that got us into the mess we are in now. He doesn't know anything. He thinks he can just drive it like a car after everything is installed.
But by the looks of things the economic advisers are running the show, not him.
"Tyrants fear nothing more than insubordination"
"It's just one big club... and WE ain't in it!"
He'll pull a Grover
He'll handpick questions like Grover did on the RNC debate.

i entered End The Fed, but...
i got an email saying it wasn't the kind of idea change.org wanted to present to him. so instead of allowing it to move onto the second round of voting, the email said it had enough votes, they removed it from the site.
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in - Bill Hicks
so, they want ideas but only those they agree with.
that's change i can believe in.

So change.org decides what they want to present to Obama? What's the point of voting on their site then?
