Sharon, you hit it on the head! It’s legal to kill babies in the womb. Babies have a heart beat and they even have finger-prints at ten weeks. But, SMOKING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! However, twelve states have now legalized smoking prescription mirajuana that is made in a rainbow of flavors with no limit on refills. Obama, no doubt, has secured the votes of many pot-heads. That is, if they can get to the polls and focus, which is doubtful.

Here we are. All we can do is complain to one another. We are too decent a people to act like they just did in Iran. Anywhere in the world, when the government screws up the people will rise up. Not here. We are on the road to what? The light at the end of the tunnel looks like a freight train to me.

Obama is looking out for his own. Wonder where he buys his smokes. What about cigars? Exempt from the bill for the hot shots on the hill enjoy their fat Cubans with an afternoon cocktail. Can only get those cigars via the black market and shipped via the US post office. GREED!!! I am tired of being a victim but I am also scared shitless of this government. I grew up in Germany. I remember the US soldiers coming in fighting for the rights of so many. Who is fighting for us? Where has this proud country gone in the last 45 years? I fought very hard to become a citizen. My husband died from war related injuries. He would turn around in his grave. Well, of course. Look what’s looking down at him. I wish they would stop the PACT act 1147, but brace yourselves, gentlefolk, our smoking days are over, and I don’t even smoke, not cigarettes anyway. They will push it up our butts.

STOP THE S.1147 also known as PACT ACT Now.
Government is telling people how to run their lives.
Pro Choice for abortion , But not Pro Choice in Smoking????
Lets get our priorities straight.

I think Congress and our (President) have gone start raving mad. They think they are King of the Hill and will do anything to satisfy their cravings. This country is going to the dogs, if it hasn’t already gone! I don’t know what is coming next, the Gestapo coming to my front door and asking me for a sex tax! What else isn’t taxed except maybe the air we breathe. If you voted for (President Obama) and this congress then I hope you are satisfied!!!
