PROTECT THE CHILDREN

As a great-grandmother, my concern is for our children. How many 
children have died from drugs; lives ruined, destroyed? Everything 
has to do with money. If marijuana was legal then the children would 
not be bothered by drug dealers. The time is now to make a better and 
safer life for the young. Kennedy said, "My fellow Americans, ask not 
what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

My fellow Americans, ask not what your children can do for you, ask 
what you can do for your children. Keep our children free of drug 
dealers. Let moms and dads, the community, the churches, clubs, 
friends, neighbors, relatives work together to protect our children 
whom we love so much. They deserve the best.
