"Scratching Peace Symbols in your Tombstone"
-----------------------------
First they made him sleep in the closet (x2)
Then they made him sleep out in the hall
When I got a little bit older
They made me sleep against the wall
Then, I was so young and tender
But now I'm oh, so big and hard
Now that I'm a little bit older
I got's ta sleep's in ma backyard
---------
(Family)
When he was just about three
All the girls would flock to see
Who could hold him on their knee
But now its plain to see
Now that he's big and hard
He's got to stay in the back yard
He had a job and got fired
and on the ground so hard
and I'm so sure some day
Some pretty girl will come his way
and then his mama will say,
“Boy, with girls, you don't play!”
And it's so plain to see
What his mama wants him to be
Locked up and not to be free
To play with you and me
--------
Now I sleep out in the graveyard
Seems my mama up and died
and now I just lay around the tombstone
Scratching peace symbols in the si - - - - - - - de.
--------
(Chorus)
I'm scratching peace symbols in your tombstone
I'm scratching peace symbols in your mind
I'd like to know how'd you get there (x2)
--------
Can't you hear, oh can't you hear up here, as I'm
(repeat chorus)
-------
The only thing you know is what they told you
The only thing you know is what they said
and showed you by the ashes
that all that was true and real is dead, but I'm
-------
(repeat chorus (variation))
I'd like to know how'd you get here
I'd like to know, I'd like to know how'd you get here
-------
My mama told me just what she said
Stay away from girls and my bed
But the woman with the thoughts is all dead
Cause there's a cloud of mad in our head
--------
I'm scratchin / tombstone
I'm scratching / mind

A letter to the White House: Constitutional Freedoms and their Systematic Errosion
The White House would not accept my letter stating it was too long. I suppose when you have a gripe, you must reduce it down to 2500 characters!
This is a matter of constitutional law:
It is clear that today's government is overly concerned with passing freedom limiting laws to oversee every aspect of American life. I am strongly disappointed with this direction and the level of influence that lobbyists, private corporations and the extremely rich are permitted in running a government which is clearly defined as for the people, by the people.
I believe that you are the president who has the vision and ambition to bring this country back to its constitutional roots. But I also believe you are in a unique position where you may not stand your ground as strong as you should, fighting party and racial boundaries. There are a lot of Americans who are depending on you to return their country to a time when a citizen did not have to fear police, politicians, home owner associations, news organisations and industries. We need for this overblown and dysfunctional 2 party system to immediately cease inter-governmental bickering and begin working together for a stronger land. A country of poor and rich working for the same goal: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness - all goals which are unobtainable under the oppressive, manipulative governmental power America has become.
Please, use your precious time in office to make this country better for all races, financial classes and beliefs-structures. The federal government has no place in the personal lives of its citizens. Scale back individual control. Afford more powers to state governments as they are governed by the people of a region and similar ideologies. Our current structure is beginning to represent a dictatorship rather than a democracy when the federal government restricts travel, speech and personal decision (abortion as an example). When the government says it is working for a healthcare bill to help the less fortunate Americans but protects American drug companies from healthy competition from the world market - I find it hard to believe that anything happening in Washington D.C. today is being done for the good of the country. Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars were used to help only the largest of corporations while small businesses disappear hourly. The economy is said to be on the rise because the elite class is reporting a profit, but small businesses, unable to obtain governmental support and have learned to make do with fewer employees. This does not lend to job creation. Unemployment is handled through private industry, via credit card companies who charge fees to use the benefits - further raping the lower classes who make up the majority of this great land. The American people cannot feel safe in their personal conversations under the "Patriot Act's" wiretapping provisions. These are just a very limited few of the issues plaguing your constituents - we have so many more problems which the federal government seems to have no concern.
Our forefathers created this nation to escape the oppression of Brittan. In a little over 200 years we have managed to become the exact same oppressive system as we fought to free ourselves from. The common citizen of America, no matter his or her skin color, is a slave of a federal machine, spinning out of control. You, Mr. Obama, my friend and President, you have the power to restore our freedoms. There will never be a better time.
Thanks you,
Rev. Eric Welte

Letter to Obama concerning Healthcare
Mr. President, I was under the understanding this healthcare bill was to assist the American people who cannot afford healthcare, but oh, how quick you are to roll over to appease big business. The importation of foreign prescriptions allowed healthy competition within the pharmaceutical community. Rather, Americans are told that you are worried about upsetting the pharmaceutical lobbyists. This bill is a complete disaster and will not improve anyone's lifestyle in its current Frankenstein configuration. It will provide more tools for insurance and drug companies to gouge the common person.
I implore you to stand your ground and to not back down to the senate or house. You are our leader, not all those hundreds of corrupt politicians. You call the shots yet allow every fascist voice in government to undermined your vision.
I voted for Obama, the leader of change and the man who would bring America back to its constitutional roots. The man I see in office is not the one I cast my precious vote for. Unless I see you take charge of your office and make good on your campaign promises, you have lost that vote in the next election.
Sincerely,
Rev. Johnny Breedlove

Another Interraction with Sen. Chris Romer Regarding His Proposal on Medical Marijuana
My Letter to the Senator:
Oh my, Last time we talked you were speaking of increasing supply and lowering cost so you could push your cash-grabbing taxes - Now you want to govern medication with more regulations than recreational alcohol.
I really don't even desire to start another conversation with you, as last time we talked you danced around the questions with all the grace of one one-legged elephant - but if I were to sit back and watch you rape the sick, injured and hobbled citizens of the very state you were voted to represent, I would be no more than a scoundrel, like yourself!
Are you serious with your proposal? You are supposed to be a liberal, who defends those who cannot defend themselves. What I see from your actions is a cowardly attempt at appeasing the bourgeois for re-election. How on God's Earth could you ever believe that limiting access to medication could be a good thing for society? I will revert back to an argument from our last interaction that you are making it more appeasing for patients to obtain their medication from violent Mexican drug cartels rather than from legitimate, tax-paying dispensaries or care-givers. You are supporting violent crime and hurting your less fortunate constituents!
You, my friend, are an elephant in ass' clothing!
Sincerely,
Johnny Breedlove

Medical Marijuana: A Common Sense Policy for Colorado
Marijuana. Most people see it as a recreational drug and are skeptical of its tangible, medical benefits for patients with chronic pain, including those whose use of prescribed narcotics often leaves them vulnerable to addiction.
Take, for instance, the story of Janice Beecher. A Coloradan since 1968, she suffers from osteoarthritis and chronic back pains. Until recently she had to take as much as four oxycodone just to make it through the day. Fortunately for her, a permit to use marijuana legally allows her to live without debilitating pain to go days without taking this highly addictive drug. Janice explained that “the blessing comes with the knowledge that I can pick what works for me at the dispensary. I don't have to just take what I can get on the black market.”
It is cases like Janice’s that compel us to make common sense policy for medical marijuana usage. Colorado voters spoke clearly when they passed a Constitutional amendment that permitted medical marijuana use, but the amendment left many oversight and regulatory questions unanswered. That is why we are acting in 2010 to honor the intent of the Constitution and help patients.
We need a model that on the one hand, de-stigmatizes and makes available medical marijuana for those who have a medical need, and on the other, keeps it out of the hands of recreational users and black market dealers. Remember, the amendment did not fully legalize marijuana. To that end, any legislation must address the needs of a number of interested parties:
Patients must have access to physicians in good standing who can make a sound recommendation. They also need reasonable access to dispensaries, and some assurance that the marijuana is safe and legally grown.
The general public needs to know that medical marijuana dispensaries and growers are conducting business exclusively with patients, not recreational users or criminals. Coloradans appear willing to permit legitimate clinics, not head shops, in their communities. The public also has little tolerance for bad actors who conduct criminal activity on the side.
Meanwhile, in order to accommodate legitimate patients, dispensaries and growers need the assurance they can establish a viable and sustainable economic model.
And Colorado’s law enforcement community needs clarity from the legislature about what constitutes legal marijuana activity and what does not.
Finally, we must clearly define who qualifies as a caregiver, how they must relate to the patient, and what responsibilities that role entails.
With those considerations in mind, here are some details of the proposed bill: Dispensaries would be subject to regular auditing and reporting requirements. There must be a limit on the amount of marijuana produced and sold at any licensed premise. Small, unlicensed cooperatives—comprised of one caregiver and up to two patients—may operate if they adhere to the limits of the law and register with the state.
In addition, we will eliminate non-medical dispensaries as well as the loopholes through which patients can purchase from multiple dispensaries. Legislation will also provide detail to local law enforcement and prosecutors regarding criminalization of dispensaries, compensation to healthcare providers and caregivers, and punishment for the resale of legal marijuana. And much like with liquor sales, local governments will be empowered to license and regulate the dispensaries.
Finally, licensed chiropractors, physical therapists, optometrists and nurses who register as caregivers will have the ability to treat up to 25% of their annual medical marijuana patients without a license.
Passing such legislation makes Colorado the first state in the country to create a reasonable and patient-focused medical marijuana regulatory model. And if we focus on helping patients like Janice Beecher while appropriately regulating the market I have no doubt that we can create a common sense policy that works for Coloradans.

A letter to the President
Mr. President,
I have nothing but respect and well wishes for you. I appreciate your attempts at correcting the messes of previous administrations. It was that promise which earned my vote. Having stated my position - there are several current events I would like to comment upon and pray that you will consider my concerns.
First, and this is my main dissatisfaction with the direction of your administration: In attempt to fix a lot of America's problems you are introducing more laws which surmount to more restrictions upon your constituents and Americans in general. More opportunities exist now for financial punishment or imprisonment. Our beautiful country was founded on a very basic principal of good living, leaving personal choice in everything from religion to fire-arm rights to the people. In today's government there are so many rules and regulations which dictate down to the very detail how we eat, breath, drink and live. And with every passing day another regulation finds its way into what is supposed to be a country based on freedom. I sincerely ask you, where is freedom in dictation? If you wish to leave a lasting impression on American history you would be better off to remove all of the amendments which do not fit into the original design of our country. If I can be jailed for consuming a substance; if my children can be removed from their family because I don't require them to wear a helmet while riding a bike; if the local police can confiscate my vehicle and charge exorbitant impound fees because I left my wallet at home; if the police can invade my home without a warrant on a technicality; if I cannot buy my child a 50cc or smaller motorcycle because the government is afraid my child may eat the hand-brake handles - my, our, your government has overstepped its boundaries in complete disregard to the guaranteed freedoms every American is born into. Please fix this!
I would also like to address the attempted criminal charges against 2 people who wanted to meet their president. I will first state that I do not approve of such an act for the purposes of a reality show. Now I will explain that this is supposed to be a government for the people by the people. You are an employee of all Americans, including these two people. They were cleared by security and allowed into your dinner. They shook hands with their elected leader and had a few photo ops. I do have to protest! The White House is public property, owned by every legal, tax-paying American. You are where you are because of us Americans. To peruse charges against these two people is an attack against all Americans. Please make the correct choice, moving forward in this matter.
Finally, for now at least, please remember that just because the rich are reporting gains, it does not mean, at all, that the recession/depression has ended or is showing signs thereof. Employers have learned to make do with fewer employees as the employees, the lucky few, have accepted working harder for less. I am lucky. I have a job but no chance of promotion or raise. Rent just went up. The stimulus package protected inflation and that is all. The reason we are in this mess is because the greedy had figured a way to make the citizens of your great nation pay outrageous fees for what they used to expect for less. The kicker is that the cash that it took to protect inflation came from the pockets of the people who cannot afford inflation.
I believe you to be an extremely compassionate man and president. I compel you to remember that the majority of your voter ranks lie in the lower to middle class. You will not ever receive a better opportunity for re-election than to remember the small people who eagerly voted for you in hopes for a better America. The greatest land of this planet.
Thanks you,
Rev. Johnny Breedlove
