...on 60 Minutes tonight...
A top Justice Department official has said in a television interview that the federal government is ready to combat any "dangers" of state-sanctioned recreational pot, amid criticism of the Obama administration for its relative silence on legalization drives in three states.
Voters in Colorado, Washington state and Oregon are set to vote Nov. 6 on whether to legalize and tax marijuana sales, raising the possibility of a showdown with the federal government, which views pot as an illegal narcotic.
Deputy Attorney General James Cole, in comments to "60 Minutes" said his office's stance on pot would be "the same as it's always been" if voters approved legalization.
I say everybody that lives in America, votes, and smokes it is your public duty to personally let this man and his office know how you feel about this issue. I think we should flood his office with letters this week. Let him know he is fighting a losing battle and remind him that he is out manned and out financed. I am certainly doing my part. Let's take the fight to him instead of him bringing it to us!
