There needs to be a way for the people to make their feelings known on any issue so that our representatives hear it rather they want to or not. If there was a national campaign started and promoted in the media before the election for a clean sweep election then the newly elected politicians would know full well why they were elected. They would then know to either preform properly or lose their jobs next election. A clean sweep can work but it will have to be handled nationally and publicly with full knowledge of what it means.

There will never be legalization of drugs nor any aid for drug users. All you have to do is look at what is being done to smokers to see that there is no desire in this country spend money to help any form of addiction. All they want to do is tax the problem and if they help the people with the addiction then they lose that tax base and the money it brings in. Does anyone really believe taxing the issue will cure the problem.
