I URGE YOU TO VOTE 'NO' TO MEDICAL POT

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to The Arizona
Republic for reporting the truth about Proposition 203 and urging a
"no" vote ("Just say 'No' to medical pot," Editorial, Sunday).

The so-called medical marijuana initiative is really about drug
legalization and makes marijuana readily available to everyone,
including our children.

Its passage would have a devastating impact on the health and safety
of Arizonans. I urge all Arizonans to vote "no" on Prop. 203. It's bad
for our families, communities and businesses.
