Nazis? Janice Hahn a stupid cu** on City Council! Clueless in LA LA LAND...

When they invented the term "stupid cu**, they must have been thinking of Janice Hahn on City Council in Los Angeles.

No wonder!

In the morning daily it was reported that Janice Hahn has been opening up her big yap over Arizona Senator Brewer's decision to sign landmark Immigration Reform into law.

In particular, the bill stipulates that - when stopped by law enforcement on legitimate grounds - the individual is required to produce documents establishing their identity and legal status in the U.S.

In response to that reasonable request, Ms. Hahn has flown off the handle (must be that time of the month) and wildly accused Brewer of introducing Nazi-style measures which she alleges are in direct violaton of Civil rights.

Bullsh**!

Just on its face, the bizarre (misguided) notion by Hahn doesn't make sense, when you think about it for two seconds.

For example, when a motorist gets pulled over for a traffic violation in "anywhere USA" - and a police officer  asks for identification - are they within their rights (based on Hahn's wild theory) to refuse to hand over their "papers"?

Maybe they should call the cop a "Nazi" -  drive off angrily - and leave him in a cloud of dust at the side of the road!

Notwithstanding, Ms. Hahn's comments show her complete lack of sensitivity to the feelings of the youth of Germany, today.

Indeed, why should they be continually forced to wear a badge of guilt and shame - the outrageous conduct of their ancestors - which took place long before they were born into this world?

The past is the past, Ms. Hahn.

It's high time people like you (and the Jews) let it go.

As to the proposed boycott of Arizona, well, think again Ms. Hahn.

If  you (and six other council members) are under the impression that ou have the best interests of the people at heart - well - think again.

In recent polls, 70% of Americans noted that they supported Governor Brewer's Immigration Reform Bill.

And, just betcha, other states will be falling into line with similar legislation.

Try for the boycott, and you'll find your sorry a**es out on the street next election.

Your vision is "backward" not forward.

It's because of folks like you that Los Angeles has become a third world city.

Los Angeles City Council...votes yes on Joint Resolution SJR 20; Signals compassion for Medical Marijuana users!

Last week, I reported that the LA City Council was slated to vote on SJR 20, in the wake of raids on local pot dispensaries and allegations of abusive conduct by the DEA.

Post: 03/31/08

On Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008, City Council voted 9-1 to approve state Senator Carole Migden's Senate Joint Resolution SJR 20 which was introduced by Council members Dennis Zine, Janice Hahn, and Bill Rosendahl.

Councilman Greig Smith was a lone dissenter, who I understand from informed sources, is under fire for his reluctance to "get on board".

In a nutshell, SJR 20 establishes a call for the President and Congress of the United States to enact legislation requiring federal law enforcement to respect state medical marijuana laws, to cease raids of medical marijuana dispensaries that are operating legally under California and local law, and to return any assets seized from medical marijuana dispensaries and collectives to the states in which they are located.

And, SJR 20 urges that Congress and the President take notice that Californians are best equipped to deal with the implementation of their state medical marijuana law.

By taking the action they have, the Los Angeles City Council is now standing up for patients’ right to legal access to medical marijuana.

The LA City Council's vote follows recent actions from Mayors from Oakland, Santa Cruz and West who Hollywood have sent letters to House Judiciary Chair John Conyers (D-MI) calling for Congressional hearings on the matter. Several other local governments have joined Los Angeles in condemning federal interference, including San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley.

Approval of SJR 20 signals a growing statewide trend to oppose federal intimidation and DEA interference with California State Legislative Laws.

According to last reports, there are 183 registered dispensaries in the city of Los Angeles and an estimated 250,000 Californians use medical marijuana to relieve aliments associated with AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis and other chronic conditions.

"This is not about getting high. This is not about drug dealing on the street corners. This is about the Compassionate Use Act," said Zine, who has spent almost 40 years with the Los Angeles Police Department.

California voters approved Proposition 215 in 1996, which legalized the use of marijuana by patients with a doctor's prescription. The federal government bars cannabis use of any kind.

Virgil Grant - who suffered abuse by DEA agents when his dispensary was recently raided - noted for the record,

"I'm a holistic person who likes to take non-drugs. I don't like taking synthetic drugs. I live the all-natural life, so medical marijuana provides that for me without the side effects (of) Vicodin, other things," Grant said.

When the DEA was asked to state their position regarding City Council's precedent-setting action on SJR 20, a spokeswoman for the DEA noted the federal agency does not comment on policy issues.

Los Angeles City Council...SJR 20 intro by Councilman Zine, April 2nd, 2008! Vote on Medical Marijuana resolution!

On April 2, 2008, The Los Angeles City Council will vote on a resolution introduced by Council Member Dennis Zine supporting CA Senator Carole Migden’s Senate Joint Resolution 20 (SJR 20), which calls on the President and US Congress to stop raiding medical cannabis facilities.

SJR 20 asks that the President and Congress of the United States enact legislation requiring federal law enforcement to respect state medical marijuana laws, to cease raids of medical marijuana dispensaries that are operating legally under California and local law, and to return any assets seized from medical marijuana dispensaries and collectives to the states in which they are located.

And, in sum, urges Congress and the President to take notice that Californians are best equipped to deal with the implementation of their state medical marijuana law.

Essentially, by taking this action, The LA City Council is standing up for patients’ access in the wake of six simultaneous raids at facilities last week which resulted in cries of foul from concerned Medical Marijuana activists who protested last week in downtown Los Angeles.

I reported on the lively demonstrations which took place on the street in front of the DEA Headquarters at 255 East Temple Street.
