MEASURE G IS THE LAW

To the Editor:

In America, government was instituted to secure the rights of The
People. Lawmakers protect us by properly transitioning our vote/laws
into society in a safe and timely manner. Why wasn't Measure G
properly transitioned when it passed in 2000?

Laws can't transition themselves. The success or failure of a law to
protect society is determined by the course-of-action politicians
develop for its safe transition into society. Not educating the public
automatically creates ignorance, confusion and fear. Why wasn't there
an education program to help safely transition Measure G into society?

Lawmaker's lack of interest to properly transition Measure G
encouraged large-scale marijuana operations which jeopardized public
safety and the environment. It automatically polarized society. Not
protecting our rights separates government from The People. Ala: The
third world.

Not properly transitioning The People's vote/law denies their voting
rights which subjugates American freedom and violates the American
rule-of-law. In America, there's no patriotic duty to oppress freedom.
Measure B is endorsed by politicians who denied American rights. We
can't solve our problems with the same mentality that created them.

Politicians who don't know how to abide-by and convey America's
founding principles can't protect our rights. Repealing Measure G
won't correct the wrongful effects politicians caused by not properly
transitioning it. To properly change a wrongful effect, first, correct
its cause.

If we truly wanted to "Save Mendocino County," we would do our duty as
Americans and ensure that our politicians secure and serve the rights
of Americans by abiding by and conveying the founding principles of
American freedom. If not the founding principles of freedom, what are
we forced to serve?
