GREEN LACKS COMPASSION ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA ISSUE

There is no longer any question whether marijuana is medicinal, but
even if there were, is it good public policy to arrest and jail
patients who have turned to it after modern medicine has failed them?

Congressman Mark Green apparently thinks so, judging by his vote
recently against a congressional budget amendment that would have
prohibited the use of federal funds - our tax dollars - to target
medical marijuana patients in the 11 states that have legalized it.
This is Green's fourth such vote in four years.

While Fox TV commentator Bill O'Reilly has his "no spin zone," Green
apparently has a "no compassion zone." For a man who aspires to be
the governor of Wisconsin, a state whose citizens overwhelmingly
support medical marijuana, Green has a strange way of trying to
connect with voters.

Meanwhile, the incumbent, Gov. Jim Doyle, has always stated he would
sign medical marijuana legislation if and when it reaches his desk.
I've taken the pledge to never vote for any candidate who opposes
medical marijuana, and I hope you will too.
