Now lets hope the media picks up on this that would really get momentum going. This is a step in the right direction.

Ron Paul is a good and rare public official. Hope they have success.

Nice and all, but the reality is this is the same bill HB5843 (or HB5842-one was Ron Pauls the other was Barney Frank's) that he introduced with Ron Paul last year that died in the House. Got a little media attention then died out- this is just a re-introduction of the bill. Even though Holder said raids would stop (and they are still sketchy), we may see Ron Paul's protection of Med states bill pop back up too, but he is pushing his hemp bill more this year.

Politics sadly won't let this happen yet. But we can most def keep adapting and pursuing.

He did, but along with everyone else; he's not exactly the albatross that brought down our economy. So that's not really even relevant when taken that far out of context.

Regardless, he does seem to fight for MJ laws a lot, and hopefully will do some good in the future.

Good one Piney. An albatross, heh, never fly kinda guy!

Barney has said some stupid shit over the years but this makes him look like a genius! I'll hope for the best but I think another round or two of old farts are going to have to die first before the Congress is full of baby boomers and younger for this to happen... At least it's up for consideration and that, my friends is progress...

Peace!

Any publicity whether good or bad is publicity. This may not pass, but it brings the idea behind the bill to the forefront of peoples attention. This is only a step in the right direction, and every step we take gets us that much closer. Also don't be dissuaded because of Barney Frank, most of the time the politicians are just the messengers, they is no reason to kill the messenger they are just doing their job.

Hopefully this can put us on a road to a quicker reform. I don't necessarily agree with most of Frank's viewpoints and opinions but I'm willing to stick behind him for sure on this one. The way I look at it, whether it passes or not, I can only see it as a good thing and a nice stride in the right direction. Keep on with the cause!
Peace.
