"Poll indicates half of voters want marijuana decriminalized; Opponents closed gap since August" by Martin Finucane, Globe Staff | October 24, 2008
A ballot proposal to decriminalize the possession of marijuana has the support of about half of Massachusetts voters as the Nov. 4 election nears, a new poll indicates.
Fifty-one percent of registered voters supported Question 2, while 32 percent opposed it, and 16 percent were undecided, according to the 7News/Suffolk University poll taken earlier this week.
The fixing is being done as we speak!!!
In an August survey, 72 percent of those surveyed had supported decriminalization. But law enforcement officials have mobilized to oppose the proposal and have made significant progress in swaying people to their side, said David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk.
Illegally, but what the hey, huh?
Let nothing stand in the way of agenda-pushing fascism!

"The no side has gained momentum over the past two months," Paleologos said in a statement. "The issue is whether the brass and blue will be able to move enough additional voters to their side in 12 days."
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, one of the leaders of a broad-based coalition opposing the ballot question, said the ballot question's backers were trying to "turn our neighborhoods into the testing ground for a radical drug legalization agenda."
Why must they ALWAYS ASSUME that the EXTREME is going to be the NORM? If they legalize the stuff tomorrow, are you gonna run out and get any? I'm not!!!!
You see, THIS kind of CRAP is why NO ONE BELIEVES in AUTHORITY!!! Because they are NOTHING but SHIT-SHOVELING LIARS!!!!!!!!!
Hey, Conley, how about SHUTTING DOWN the BARS and BANNING ALCOHOL so OUR KIDS don't wander of and DIE!!!!!!
The proposal would replace the criminal penalties for possessing one ounce or less of marijuana with a civil fine of $100, the equivalent of getting a speeding ticket. Proponents say that if the proposal passes, those caught with marijuana would no longer be saddled with a criminal record for a minor offense.
Yeah, even though those HYPOCRITICAL DAs GOT STONED!!!!
Then WHY DON'T YOU RESIGN, scum shit fascistas!!!!
Whitney A. Taylor - campaign manager for the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy, which is advocating for Question 2 - said last night of the new poll: "Our internal polling has us comfortably ahead. We are exactly where we want to be." Taylor said she had not yet seen the new numbers, and she would not disclose her group's internal polling results.
As to the ballot question losing support since August, she said, "We know that elected officials are working against Question 2. When that poll [in August] came out, we were as surprised as others about those numbers. We had never seen numbers that high." Taylor said the committee will continue with its campaign on radio and TV. --more--"
It's called RIGGING a VOTE, readers!!!
Now what (cough) was I (cough) talking about?
