I'm joining the Molly Pitcher Club!

Molly Pitcher Club was created in 1922 by M. Louise Gross to work towards the repeal of prohibition. The national prohibition of alcohol in the U.S. lasted from 1920 until 1933.<3> Although they had nation aspirations the group was limited to New York, holding meetings at the Ritz Carlton Hotel and Delmonico's.

In 1923 a group of 120 women from the Molly Pitcher Club arrived in Albany to urge Governor Governor Al Smith to repeal the state prohibition enforcement measure called the Mullan-Gage Act. <2> This march was the largest activity carried on through the Club and it soon after faded away. Gross gave the explanation that, "activities of the Molly Pitcher Club subsided because there was nothing of importance in the prohibition field for it to do."

It is likely that the group was unable to gain membership due to it's direct relationship to the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. Many would-be supporters simply joined the larger, national organization, bypassing the smaller woman's-only group.

3. Let us revive it for the repeal of drug laws.

Let's start with marijuana. Legalize it, for chrissakes. God damn, imagine what we could do with the money saved by not arresting people for possession of marijuana. Or even citing them.

That would be a good start.

4. My dear trof!

I'll drink to that, lol!

And I'm with Bertha...let's revive it for the legalization of marijuana...at least!

In addition to saving money that would go for prosecuting, and then incarcerating the people convicted of these insane laws, just think what you could do with the money received from taxing it!
