We don't negotiate with prohibitionists.
Or bullies.
When Debbie
Wasserman Schultz came out last year against Amendment 2, she didn't just simply
empower our opposition - she obstructed thousands of patients who desperately
need access to this medicine. Her poor timing and very public stand against
medical marijuana helped squander the efforts of thousands of volunteers and
donors.
Now she wants to have a conversation in exchange for me toning
down my criticism of her position last year (and the damage she caused)? Not a
chance.
Because, while I don't believe she is well loved or personally
has much influence in this state, I'll allow her the possibility that she might
have changed a few minds that we needed. Staring down a campaign funded by a
billionaire, we needed all the help we could get. She turned her back on people
with Cancer, MS, PTSD, epilepsy, severe neuropathic pain, and more. She could
have even stayed silent. She didn't. She made a big show of
it.
I won't be bullied or trade favors when it comes to medical
marijuana. If she thinks its time to support the bill - as she should - then SHE SHOULD SIGN THE PETITION, MAKE A DONATION TO UNITED FOR CARE AND
SUPPORT THE BILL.
SUPPORT THE BILL.
Everything else is B.S. politics in order to
rehabilitate the damage she's done to herself by being on the wrong side of the
issue. It's not support - it's a quid pro quo and I won't do it. 3.4 million
voters came out for medical marijuana - and she should know that if she runs for
Senate, we're not going to fall in line just because she's more open to it now.
First - we have to get this back on the ballot. So I
encourage you, your family, and your friends to use this moment to show your
support for medical marijuana by contributing here. Let's make
this a lesson for her and anyone else against us. We're coming back - and I'll
be sure to let her know how we did in response to
this.
BELIEVE!
