A VOTE FOR KUCINICH FOR STAND ON MARIJUANA

After years of being registered as a Libertarian Party voter, I will until
the March 2 presidential primaries be unenrolled in any political party for the
sole purpose of voting for Dennis Kuncinich in the Democratic Party's primary.
I will be voting for Congressman Kucinich for one reason and one issue.

He is the only Democratic candidate whose position on marijuana policy
is in agreement with the Libertarian position: legalize it, regulate
it and tax it as we do alcoholic beverages, while penalizing those who
provide marijuana to minors. On my way out of the polls, I will
re-register Libertarian.
