What has happened to the scruples of the Country? How are we electing thieves, allowing our children to be exploited and letting criminals walk free from the courthouse without serving time

Can someone please provide me to a legitimate sourced page of how many different VOTERS (NOT total votes) voted in the election? In other words, how many people participated this year? Remember... United Sates SENATE and HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES elections ONLY (or a break down that I can calculate from by myself)

First to provide sourced link will win best answer. Thanks in advance!

Now that the people have spoken ,actually, shouted at the top of our lungs, can the pompous right meet in the middle and work towards what is right and good for everyone ,not just the elite base?I'm hoping this resounding message to Bush,et al,will be a wake up to all involved.I don't care who can do the job,just do it and stop arguing about who is doing what to who and for whom they do it.Enough!

Don't look now, here comes big daddy hurt and big mommy hurt. Sorry, if Clinton (Bill or Hill) were President, you wouldn't be there on a failed mission.

In case you don't want to read it, it basically says that global output will shrink by up to 20% within 100 years. It also states that the scientific consensus is that the temperature will rise 5-6 degrees C (10-12 degrees F, I think) in that time. Furthermore, sea levels will rise 6-7 meters, thereby putting almost the entire state of Florida, the country of Bangladesh, and others underwater.

This is a report from the chief of Britain's economic service. This is not liberal crap propaganda. This is real. Why will the U.S. and the world not pull together to fight this problem as a species? What must it take to get our governments to address this problem?

It's pathetic. As an example, I live in Texas where Rick Perry was just re-elected governor. Perry fast-tracked 12 new coal-fired power plants to power the state. Why could we not have used a cleaner fuel instead of the dirtiest one around?

Drive home in my 13mpg truck, throw some food into my disposal, let the water run, take a long hot shower, take a dump and flush the hi-flow toilet 15 times, then empty my recycling bin into my trash before I settle in to watch Ultimate Fighting.

Anyone care to join me?

How obvious can this administration be? The day after the election he "resigns." He was kicked out the door. I thought Bush was more loyal that that. I don't like Rumsfeld, but I don't think he should be held as the scapegoat. This was referendum of the President and Iraq. Rumsfeld was only part of the picture. Will Cheny resign as well? One can only hope.

The President states that we're not going to quit until the war is finished. Well Rumsfeld is the one that pushed the war and heavily supported the war. He quit, does that mean that the war should be finished?

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the passage of Proposition 215, the Compassionate Care Act, which received 56 percent of California voters' support in 1996. Since that time, 10 other states have passed similar laws, and support for medical cannabis is growing, according to a report by the Marijuana Policy Project.

The report, "Proposition 215: Ten Years Later," finds that legalization of medical marijuana is overwhelmingly supported by the public, but continues to face significant opposition from the federal government, despite the fact that 11 states, including California, passed medical marijuana legislation during the last decade. South Dakota has an initiative on the November ballot and if passed will make it the 12th state to legalize marijuana for medical purposes.

"It's a kind of bittersweet anniversary," said Supervisor Tom Ammiano, who is working on legislation that will be presented to the board's city operations committee on November 6 to make possession of medical marijuana a low priority for arrests in San Francisco. "We still encounter 10 years later the same blind prejudice."

"There's been a lack of leadership from our California elected officials on this," said Bruce Mirken, director of communications of the Marijuana Policy Project. "[Senator Dianne] Feinstein was actively opposed and sort of has moved to neutral over the years. [Senator Barbara] Boxer, despite pleas from patients, has been continually missing in action, not overtly working against it, but not being helpful with our ongoing problems with the feds."

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) is the only elected official in Congress who consistently supports marijuana laws for medical use and the protection of patients. She has defended Proposition 215 and other legislation supporting medical marijuana as well as patient rights to safely acquire and possess marijuana on the House floor on four separate occasions.

Dennis Peron, who wrote Proposition 215 as a eulogy for his deceased partner, Jonathan, and for patients suffering from life-threatening diseases who use marijuana for medical purposes, said that after 10 years, "A lot of people are getting medical marijuana and are not going to jail. I wrote it so sick people wouldn't have to be hassled, go to jail and have to hire lawyers when they're ill."

"It's made it possible for sick people to obtain relief better than they used to. They haven't had to be paranoid about being arrested. They don't have to go to the park to buy marijuana any longer; they can go to a safe dispensary," stated Terence Hallinan, former district attorney.

Despite the legal status of Proposition 215 in California, using marijuana for medical purposes remains in a complex paradigm between federal, state, and local laws depending mostly on law enforcement attitudes toward cannabis. Patients are often caught in the middle.

In an attempt to assist law enforcement with identifying valid patients of medical marijuana, California developed the Medical Marijuana Program to issue identification cards to patients who have proper prescriptions for medical cannabis. In January, San Francisco implemented the state program through the Department of Public Health at San Francisco General Hospital. Since January, 2,500 cards have been issued. Prior to that, the city had its own medical marijuana ID card, which has now been incorporated into the state program.
