Beto O'Rourke

We can't have people like Beto O'Rourke in a position of leadership 
in the federal or state government who deny the effects of marijuana 
on society.

I have been a witness and testify that having lived through that hell 
twice that it doesn't stop there. There will be other illicit drugs to try.

People of affluence can't understand an ordinary person and the 
extent of the problems drugs can bring. Besides despair, destruction, 
unproductive lives, domestic violence, accidents, child abuse and 
neglect, drugs anesthetize and corrupt the mind and weaken the 
foundation of America.

In spite of good lawyers, good rehabs, counselors, etc., even the 
affluent don't always escape. Look at Whitney Houston; even legal 
drugs can kill!

This proposition by this candidate is one more attack on the 
children, the home and the nation. We want people in Congress who 
love America, not bring more moral rot to her.
