Encounter with Jupiter Police Dept (FL)

[John N Morgan]

Hey All,
This is just to report to the public an encounter with the Jupiter Police Dept that happened this morning while I was standing roadside appealing for candidate petition signatures.

I decided to get out early this morning to see if anybody wanted to sign now that the "Education Reform" package was pushed through. I had decided to try Loxahachee River Rd at the Center St. intersection in Jupiter. The road feeds everybody that lives in the neighborhoods to I95, shopping at Walmart and Home Depot.

I have a 40x30 sign, which is as big as I can hold up for hours at a time.

I had been there for 2 hrs when a police car showed up. I was talking to 3 or 4 strollers, and one said "You've got company." As the policeman approached me the folks that had all signed departed. The policeman's name is Mayernik:

Me: What can I do for you?
Mayernik: I had a call and you need to leave. The sign your holding is against town ordinances (paraphrased)
Me: I have talked with the Martin and Palm Beach county attorneys specifically about this and I was told this is a First Amendment right (I hated to quote Constitution)
Myernik: Did you talk with our Code Enforcement?
Me: No, I didn't.
Myernik: The sign is a mobile/portable sign and can't be displayed.
Me: Then you need to write me a ticket and the lawyers will have to get involved.
Myernik: I don't want to write you a ticket.
Me: Then I don't believe there is a problem.

Myernik: Do you have identification?
Me: Yes (got my driver's license out and handed it to him). You know this does not look good. (Laughing) You can make my day. (I'm thinking, please arrest me)

The policeman retreats to his car, and I continue holding the sign and waving. As he retreated an architype of the Teabaggers walked by the policeman and stated, "We don't want him around here. Not even in front of the development, get him out of here." Now, to be honest I have NO tolerance for the American Taliban, AT, and I retorted, "And, I don't want you in my life at all, but here we are." (Honestly, this is why I didn't want to run, but did so that we could have a choice in Nov).

The AT turned toward me, and took a step (he was 20 ft away), so I added, "You might want to look at that license plate. I'm a Vet, and unlike any Democrat you may have glared at before I will NOT back down."

The policeman told the AT to move on.

So, the policeman is sitting in his car (about 5 min) I'm holding my sign, and waving. Desperately trying to cool down, and did so.

Two more police cars arrive. And there is a meeting. Somebody dropped me a hint, that I should not stand on the grass next to the road, but on the sidewalk and move my car to the other side. "You're five feet from being cool" So, I called back to the policeman that I was moving my car. And did so, returning to wave my sign from the edge of the sidewalk.

About 5 minutes after that, the Supervisor of the Shift drives up. One car had left so the car count is still 3. And I'm still thinking, "Please arrest me".

The supervisor approaches and basically wants me to leave because the development owns the area including the space across the road. I asked the supervisor if she was declaring the sidewalk as a non-public right of way? "I need you to state that, and I need it on a report, because, this will be an issue. I am going to file a report, and we might all get famous."

She said she needed to do some homework on this issue. There was some back and forth, but at the end, I was alone, waving my sign.

I thought I'd send this around.

John Morgan, Dem Candidate, FL H-82

1. Sounds like you did everything perfectly.

Good for you - knowing the rules and not backing down to simple intimidation.

Now me - I'd have had to have a smoke to calm down, and I quit a year ago.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

2. Wow..........

I think asking them to write you up threw them for a loop :toast:

[cheri010353]

3. Nicely done.

We could all learn a lot from the way you responded and kept your cool. I admire you. Don't know if I could have done it.

[Dogmudgeon]

4. A perfect example of "This Is How It's Done"

Thank you!

:thumbsup:

Good luck in your run for office, too.

--d!

[wolfgangmo]

47. Consider contacting Camp Wellstone and asking them if they have any graduates in your area.

They are the legacy of Sen. Paul Wellstone (D - Minnesota - Murdered) and they are geniuses at training candidates, campaign managers and advocates in how to WIN, WIN, WIN.

If you can get on board, they could be wonderfully helpful.

[annabanana]

5. Good for YOU Mr. Morgan!

I applaude your effort and wish you well

(look what I found: http://www.johnnmorgan.com/)

[John N Morgan]

14. You found that? Hey, I lost one of those.

[calimary]

150. Kick for http://www.johnnmorgan.com

The guy needs money to qualify, DUers! If you can help...

[Liberal_in_LA]

6. Good for you! I witnessed museum cops shooing a guy distributing fliers on the sidewalk in front

of the museum. I wanted the guy to yell "THIS IS PUBLIC PROPERTY!".

I love your story!

[John Q. Citizen]

7. Good job of exercising your first amendment rights. Use them or lose them!

I'm betting crime isn't an issue in the campaign since so many cops had so much available time to spend on you. :)

[John N Morgan]

13. I have been observed. The best town so far has been Stuart. In six hours, 1 drive by with a wave.

Tequesta, posted a cruiser across from me.

[timtom]

8. As a neighbor in West Palm Beach,

I salute you!!

[monmouth]

19. I'm in West Palm also (downtown) and salute you. The ex is in Jupiter

and I will tell him about Mr. Morgan. Great job!

[Richard Steele]

9. Awesome. I have no words, so I'll just K&R.

[Hepburn]

10. Excellent...KNR...n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. I was afraid your story would end with "My jaw is broken & I have taze marks"

I was so happy it didn't end that way. Kudos!

[HillbillyBob]

107. Oh you have been to Jupiter Fl before.

I used to have a sales route and would be pulled over every other week when I went through there. Never one ticket, was never over the limit..i guess they hated my fagflag stickers. They were always polite but verging on disrespect, and every time I would have to tell them who I worked for (donor to rpuke candidates there).
I would get that 'The Hills have EYES feeling when I went through some of the more rural parts

[truedelphi]

12. Wow. All I can say. And Thank You. n/t

[arcadian]

15. I'll K&R this

Don't back down!

[hootinholler]

16. Personally, I use the term Talibornagain, but well done! n/t

[wolfgangmo]

49. I use the term Teahadist.

They freakin' hate that. I called my brother in law that and he became unhinged. Of course I used to work maximum security and used to roll with the SWAT team and he knows it so he just sat, drank beer and seethed.

[calimary]

152. Teahadist is GREAT! And if not, just keep it to teabagger.

I don't like to glorify or powder over their ugliness by calling them "tea party" people. The word "party" makes it sound fairly harmless and even pleasant. Only words with negative connotations should be applied here. We need to frank luntz these people - BIGTIME. Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it.

[Divine Discontent]

116. I just don't want to throw in good liberal Christians with the American Taliban Religious Bigots

the GOP-Mafia like to pretend they have authority from GOD to be total asses.... ha

This DUer did us proud. From my post office encounter I realize that they hate us progressives, and this story shows that there's plenty of cops who do to.

[Shanti Mama]

17. Bravo! Bravo! (whistle) Encore! nt

[Hutzpa]

18. You did an excellent job

they thought they could bamboozle you by feeding you lies, and by using big words to confuse
you. lol

Looks like they where messing with the wwrong guy.


Good Job :thumbsup:

Keep up the good work.

[bobburgster]

20. Way to go Joe!

Happy to hear there are dems that will still stick to their guns, uh, I mean signs :)

[ellenfl]

21. great job! especially considering you were standing at the

entrance to republican-land. :yourock:

ellen fl

[HipChick]

22. K&R! Good for you! Stand your ground!

[ocean girl]

23. Sending to my sister in Jupiter Farms

so she'll be sure to vote for you - great job!

[ChiciB1]

99. Tell Your Sister He Needs His Petitions First Or Money To File...

Maybe she knows someone who knows someone! I think the boat needs some help to float!

Just trying to help out.
:hug:

[John N Morgan]

103. It's not all bad. The boats afloat ...by the bobbers on the fishing poles stowed below.

Even the moral support of DU is great. Thanks

[Greyhound]

24. K&R.

[John N Morgan]

25. The replies mean a lot ... thanks. Down ticket is a lonely place. But state gov creates more

misery than any other level. So, I'm running just to make sure the voters of District 82 have a choice.

Since, I'm the underdog, there is nothing to win by sliding right (just to note, I'll quit before I'll slide right)

[The Midway Rebel]

26. Thank you citiizen! n/t

[democrank]

27. Bravo!

Principles and courage. Bless you.

[Mithreal]

28. Well done. With you in spirit and wish the cops would talk to me

rather than just sit in their car when we protest.

Not sure what is going on lately.

Anyway :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Dystopian]

29. KandR

Awesome!
Thank you!


peace~

[dajoki]

31. K&R

[sabrina 1]

32. Excellent, thank you for standing up

and in such a perfect way. Funny how teabagger types think they're the only ones who have rights.

Odd that a sign would create so much police activity when guns at a presidential speech barely raise an eyebrow.

A crime free zone you were protesting at maybe?

I hope you succeed, what are your changes do you think? You should be asking for donations. Maybe talk to the DNC?

[John N Morgan]

52. The DNC has written the FL-82 off ... we are on our own. I'm broke, but I'm running.

I was with Howard Dean at the scream speech. I hit the bat more time than I could afford.

You cannot imagine how different you feel when you actually sign the papers to be "The Democratic Candidate ..." I feel the weight of the many. I will never betray the base. I'd have to give up shaving.

[LiberalFighter]

132. You would think they would leave you alone if the general opinion

is that 82 is not winnable.

[lpbk2713]

33. That's funny.

In Jupiter Florida the Code Enforcement people outrank the US Constitution and the County Attorneys. I love it. :rofl:


I hope the self-appointed spokesman for the residents went home and blew a gasket. :rofl:

[JackInGreen]

34. BRAVO!!

Well done,Sir. We commend you.

[theFrankFactor]

35. Appreciated!

[Gorobei]

36. Bravo! For not being bullied! NT

[Swede]

37. K&R

Nice job.

[JDPriestly]

38. You handled this well. Watch out, because somebody will be watching for you.

[Tailormyst]

39. You are very courageous and I am glad we are on the same side.

[felinetta]

40. Excellent great story!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zotz123]

41. Your Guts

GOOD FOR YOU, JOHN MORGAN!

[leftrightwingnut]

42. Excellent!

:D :toast: :fistbump: :headbang: :patriot:

[MrMickeysMom]

43. I wonder why you had to show him your ID...

Also, there should be a zoning ordinance at some level (municipal or county) that would have so much set back from the center of the road as a right of way common area.

They had no grounds, but you have a nice little story for the local press.

MMM (Elected Public Official, another State, Same country) :-)

[John N Morgan]

53. My take is that the policeman knew he was losing the arguement and had to change the subject

Later, in what I call the back and forth, well, I think they will vote for me if they live in the district (all except the first one)

[MrMickeysMom]

57. I just visited your website. It's well organized, transparent and you are right up front!

As a former long time Floridian, I wish you the best of luck and lots of petitions. I'm glad you love canvassing, talking, and proud that you stand for what you do.

Hey- Florida has a chance for a real Democrat in District 82!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:
:applause: :applause:

[John N Morgan]

61. Remarks like that are good for another day on the road. Thank you

I know and you know I'm not a perfect candidate. I've had an interesting life, my bucket list is short. So, people that read the website and respond mean a lot.

Again, thanks
John Morgan

[John N Morgan]

68. Delete: wrong spot.

[ChiciB1]

69. Another Floridian Here & I Like Your "Grayson" Style! I Too Visited Your

website and I see you need some financial help. I live across state in Repuke country and might be able to give a little. It's just so tight these days and then on top of that... It's Florida!

Where I live I don't think there's EVER been a Democrat elected to Congress since I've been here! Got close between Buchanan & Jennings, but that was a disaster by the time it crashed. Plus, Jennings was a (R) before she was a (D) and then Rahm got involved, and then she lost by 260 with 18,000 plus under votes, and then RAHM dissed her! Next time out, Buchanan got 69% of the vote and she got trounced and he had even MORE lawsuits against him when he got elected! I learned a LOT about "dirty" politics trying to fight against "Vernie!"

Oh, dear the stories that could be told!!

GOOD LUCK, and I salute you!

[John N Morgan]

78. Send me an email...let's talk.

[ChiciB1]

84. I Can't Sign Your Petition... Wrong County... Going To Check Your Site

again! I'll probably PM you tomorrow though. Want to read more! I will have to tell you that I've gotten very turned off with my local Democratic Party and haven't been active with them for some time now! I was always just a "grunt" but worked hard, but I found I was more liberal than they wanted!!

No, I didn't scream and holler, I just "got the message!"

[John N Morgan]

86. Martin County Dems is non-functional. They haven't delivered a single signature (dollars? pffft)

I know what you mean. This is a machine, and I'm bypassing them. I standing on roadside and going door to door to let Dems know they have a choice.

Read my site. I'm DU.

[Shell Beau]

63. Maybe the cops wanted to check to see if he was wanted for anything.

[John N Morgan]

71. Of course. Making a politically correct but uncomfortable position makes you suspect.

I think that's a problem. You know, when speech is a reason to have a background check.

The fact that I AM the Democratic candidate for the Florida House of Representatives for District 82, running against an ex-sheriffs deputy, could not possibly come into the decision to "run me".

[Shell Beau]

74. I only hope they would do it to the other side as well.

It is almost like they felt their hands were tied. They had complaints and wanted something done, but they knew there was nothing that could be done, but if you had anything on your record, then that would take care of that. Glad it worked out for you!!!!

[John N Morgan]

80. The incumbent was a Major in Martin Cnty Sheriffs Dept. Doesn't look good for law enforcement

I couldn't lose. That's why I was thinking "please arrest me".

[MrMickeysMom]

135. ... and the probable cause would be?

... using that logic, we would all be subject to random searches, no probable cause.

[Shell Beau]

138. Asking for your ID isn't the same as searching.

He could've very well said he didn't have his ID. Or he couldd've refused giving it to them, of course that wouldn't have helped his cause at all. It isn't illegal to not carry ID on you.

[MrMickeysMom]

156. "It isn't illegal to not carry ID on you."

I agree.

... Then, why ask for it?

[barbtries]

44. good on you

and good luck in the race!

[MadMaddie]

45. Good Job~

[DissedByBush]

46. "we might all get famous"

I love that line!

You played it perfect, cool and calm, giving them no other legitimate reason to arrest you while not backing down.

You make us all proud.

[matt819]

48. American Taliban

I like that. I think it's time to put that in parens every time tea party or tea bagger is written.

[pleah]

50. K&R!

:yourock:

[kestrel91316]

51. WTFG!

[williesgirl]

54. Hey thanks for standing up for your rights and doing it so professionally. You do us proud!

I hope you get some donations from fellow DUers. I'm heading to your site now. Don't have much, but want to help a little. rec'd

[John N Morgan]

56. Thank you.

[John N Morgan]

55. Not a single negative comment??? Is DU running a fever? Thanks, couldn't mean it more.

Just for the gun toting crowd: there are some situations it's best not to be armed

I know guns solve every other issue in life from erectile dysfunction to invading Russians, but sometimes it's best to be just you.

[leeroysphitz]

58. You are the MAN.

[Grand Taurean]

59. You are the MAN!

[Ohio Joe]

60. Excellent

Well done. :thumbsup:

[Sanity Claws]

62. It's my pleasure to recommend this post

Wish I were in your district and could vote for you.

Go, Daddy, Go!!

[John N Morgan]

64. Thank you Sanity. To be accepted on DU is to be a Democrat. It's the litmus test

[Shell Beau]

65. It just goes to show that it is our duty to KNOW our rights!

Good for you!

[paulsby]

66. from a police officer's perspective

you handled it well

[John N Morgan]

76. Thanks

I won't put this in the title line, but I bristle in the presence of police. So, they were cool too. I know it.

[paulsby]

83. i bristle in the presence of fat people in spandex

and really hairy backed guys who go shirtless

[John N Morgan]

87. Where did that gum go ... last I saw was ballistic over the monitor

[UTUSN]

67. When asked what scared HIM, HITCHCOCK said, "The police." n/t

[Frank Cannon]

126. As a kid, Hitchcock's dad used to have him thrown in jail every so often...

just to teach him a lesson about staying out of trouble.

He was traumatized about the cops ever since.

[woo me with science]

70. Very nicely done. nt

[Historic NY]

72. Hold your ground & don't back down, thats what they want.

[HughMoran]

73. I want to be like you!

I wish I had your confidence and knowledge of local laws.

Keep up the good work!

:hi:

[tabasco]

75. Well done.

Good luck! :toast:

[CoffeeCat]

77. I wish I had your cajones!!

Wow, you have my utter respect.

I am in awe!

:loveya:

[John N Morgan]

81. Watch Christopher Titus's YouTube. He tells my story. This pfffft.

[NoPasaran]

82. I salute you!

:patriot:
Well done, sir!

[nadinbrzezinski]

85. Well done

and a textbook example of this.

[Atticus]

88. The dialogue with the police was great, but I especially liked the face off with the "AT". I'll bet

that provided him with a true "WTF" moment: a Democrat getting in HIS face!

Very---well---done!

[John N Morgan]

91. Yeah...It was icing

[Skittles]

89. JOHN MORGAN FAN HERE

YES INDEED

[ChiciB1]

95. Okay, Just Checking Out His Website!!! He Needs SIGNATURES & CASH

to even get into the race! Anyone here able to sign his petition? The money is IMPORTANT and needed, but signatures show support!!

Suggestion... Florida Forum for sure, but not always read as much as the big ones!

Sign up John Morgan fans!! I don't live in his district, just putting out a few words here because I live in this state and WE NEED GOOD DEMOCRATS!!

[John N Morgan]

97. Thank you. Yes, I need donations, even to keep gas in the car. I'm broke, but I'm running

and I am a Democrat that will not embarrass you.

I have donated to Dean, Brown, Sestak, Tester, even Tessa Hafen of NV. Not to mention I nearly bankrupted myself on that guy from Illinois.

So, if there is some room for a down ticket guy, in the face of a red district, I can use some help. (I promise not to spend it at a Bondage Strip club)

I cannot tell you the weight I feel. Maybe I can be a subnote to subnote, but the big names in the progressive story will greet me, "Aye, we know you and you did well".

DU, Thanks.

[calimary]

149. ANOTHER John Morgan fan here!

VERY impressive, especially the way you kept your cool, knew your stuff, and asserted that you wanted that "you're declaring the sidewalk a non-public right-of-way - and I need you to put that in the report because I'm going to make an issue of it" - BRILLIANT!!!! MAKE THEM stand on what they say. MAKE THEM have to prove it. MAKE THEM have to deny it. MAKE THEM put it on the record - when they know they're bullshitting you and don't want to be held accountable for it!

Bullies have been allowed to get away with it FOREVER. With NO consequences for their actions. With NO price to pay for what they've done. that conversely means there is reinforcement FOR doing bad, because there's no reinforcement AGAINST doing bad. If it's allowed to stand, unchallenged or unchecked, it becomes okay by default.

BIG fan, John Morgan! Gotta go check out your website!

:patriot: :thumbsup: :fistbump: :yourock: :applause:

[lib2DaBone]

90. Good on you John for standing your ground........

Home owners associations are worse than gestapo..

Sounds like Jupiter Police were in a mellow mood that day.. thank god...

[John N Morgan]

92. They didn't own the road nor the side walk. The issue was I was standing in the grass to make way

for stroller and bikers. So, backing to the sidewalk was an inconvenience to the public, not a legal issue.

I would have had to be charged with trespassing. And that is a big deal on a public road.

[TuxedoKat]

93. Wow, good for you

and good luck in your house race. :)

[John N Morgan]

94. This is an OMG moment .. thanks DU. Wanna donate?

I have an alter ego on DU that's been around for some time. I am DU.
Thanks.

[friendly_iconoclast]

96. K&R Well done. We need more Democrats like you! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

98. Bravo! Good luck!

[Subdivisions]

100. You're going to be famous, Mr. Morgan! You keep givin' 'em hell! n/t

[John N Morgan]

101. Hey, don't be gett'in my head all blowed up! (thanks)

[gristy]

102. I've read this a couple times today, it's so cool. Here's the part where the cop quickly realized

this was not going to end the way he thought it was

Me: Then you need to write me a ticket and the lawyers will have to get involved.
Myernik: I don't want to write you a ticket.
Me: Then I don't believe there is a problem.

:thumbsup:

edited to add: You have written about your day in a way that just brings it to life. Beautifully done. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

"...but at the end, I was alone, waving my sign."

[John N Morgan]

104. There is much to be said about being THE candidate and not a volunteer or staffer.

He should not have even started it.

The rest of the encounter was both of us backing down a little. I moved my car and backed two feet to the sidewalk and they left.

So, I'm celebrating no taser or broken jaw. And, that's a shame isn't it; even Rev Phelps doesn't have to worry about this bodily injury.

[JCMach1]

105. +1

[progressoid]

106. Sooo...didja get some signatures?

[John N Morgan]

124. yep, 9 signatures.

[HillbillyBob]

108. Hope you win.

[ChiciB1]

131. He CAN'T Win Until He Gets Signatures And Money!! I'm Gonna See What I Can

do by donating something, but even though I live in Florida, I don't live in his district!

I know DU has come together before and helped others in need! I can't give much, but you can't get off the dime UNLESS you have a DIME!

ANYONE ELSE willing to help??

[proud2BlibKansan]

109. Absolutely wonderful

You rock. I would love to help you on your campaign if I lived nearby.

Good luck. You definitely have the cojones to win your election.

[loweforcongress]

110. from another candidate (IL-6)

Way to keep your cool and remain firm!

[Autonomy]

111. That sounds intimidating

Very nice!

[alp227]

112. Good for keeping CCC (cool, calm, and collected) throughout

otherwise, had you let the cops beat you up/put you in the slammer, then your Republican opponent would have a lot of political exploitation meat.

The cop probably didn't want to write you a ticket because he'd know the consequences would be brutal and heavily disputed.

[RedCappedBandit]

113. Impressive

114. K&R, Way to back'em down. nt

120. Good job! Hope you win! K&R

[eilen]

121. Good on you!

You are in my MIL's district. She lives in the bubble called Ballantree in Port St. Lucie. My sympathies.
She is also a Teamster-- and an AT -- go figure.

Too bad my grandparents aren't still alive. They used to live in Stuart and would have voted for you; staunch FDR Democrats. My uncle owns the condo now but his primary residence is in Albany.

Anyway, my grandparents used to go to the Elks Club across the street frequently for dinners. That might be a good place to shake hands and meet people.

[Christa]

122. We need more heroes like you. nt

[Sancho]

123. In Jupiter, they could not have harassed you for too long....

the entire government budget depends on those officers giving a bunch of tickets and they have a quota you know.

[LaydeeBug]

125. DONATE TO JOHN MORGAN IF YOU CAN. nt

[John N Morgan]

128. Thanks LaydeeBug. My $1.98 campaign could use all the help DU and the intertube roots can offer

It would be a relief to have my fee covered in the case that I cannot get the petitions gathered.

[blueamy66]

127. Damn. You are good.

I haven't set up the merchant account since it takes money that I need to keep "crashing the gate". It's a top priority, it just can't happen without support.

Thanks for asking

141. why don't you set up a paypal donation link?

Alleviate the need for a merchant account.

[John N Morgan]

146. Done. (I didn't want to at first, but now it's obstructing progress)

[bc3000]

155. I'm honored to be your first PayPal contributor.

I couldn't do much, but I guess every little bit helps.

I appreciate what you're doing. We need more people like you to run for office, especially here in Florida where it seems like the democratic party likes to support the most conservative candidates they can find.

[John N Morgan]

147. Or donate using the paypal button on the site

http://www.johnnmorgan.com/

$500 is the limit, but $5, $10, $20 goes a long way and it is appreciated.

137. Great work! I really like the way you stood firm without being

obnoxious and giving them a reason to do something unsavory.

My mother lives in Jupiter and I will be down there one of the next two weekends to help her recover from a broken hip. Hopefully, you and your sign will be out somewhere and so I can stop and say hi.

Best of luck to you in the race.

143. John, I might just come to Fl and work for you. nt

144. Hey There "asdjrocky" I've Been Trying To Get Something Going For

this guy! I just donated 25, but I don't have much! I know you DID some great work for another candidate BEFORE, and was wondering if you meant it!

Are you just giving him a high five or what?? Living in Florida and seeing what HAS, IS and MAY be happening at any given time, it's the pits most of the time!

Love Grayson's style and we sure need more, but this guy just sitting on the sidewalk right now from what I'm gathering up.

Anyway, just thought I would ask!
:hi:

145. One More Thing... Just Put Your Website In My FAVORITES! SUPER STUFF!! n/t

[asdjrocky]

148. Thank you so much ChicB1!

We're growing. In our current form we're only about a week old, and we're really looking for people all over the place that will join us in the fight.

And thanks for supporting this candidate. If he thought an endorsement from a cannabis site in Cali would help him I'd endorse. I'm certainly willing to run a link for him, but then again, you have to be careful when your dealing with such a "dangerous substance" as cannabis. :eyes:

[ChiciB1]

154. Oh, You're Soooooooo Hilarious! Living In My "REEE-Gressive" State

I wonder if we'll get ANY of that "trickle down" stuff Ronnie Ray-Guns always talked about! Of course, he had his GUNS so for some WEIRD reason the dangerous substance got little Nancy to start a WAR ON DRUGS!!

There are times that I see his shadow lurking down here, to this day!!

GOOD LUCK!

[John N Morgan]

151. Well bring it on down.

And you can run a link on your site. You know the old saying "I can't control what other people do"

With a name as common as John Morgan I have worked hard to get to the middle of page 2 of Google (up from about 14). John Morgan with almost any qualifier puts me #1. So, as you know, references help a lot.

Let me know what you want to do.

[asdjrocky]

153. Will do John, and thank you so much!

We'll take a look at the site. We're brand new, but the publicity machine is just rolling out, and I'm always looking for something, or someone, somewhere to write about or link to, so give me a day or two and I'll be in touch.

Thanks so much!

Generally, anyone that ChicB1 backs, is solid with me.
