Missoulian story.

All of this has been very interesting. Personally, I thought MMJ was going to be repealed, although Shweitzer may have vetoed it. It's hard to say though. The most interesting thing, is it ended up being a tied vote in the senate, right down to the wire.
It is scary what is going on in this country right now. Why are those of us that are standing up for our rights and what we voted for being called "leftists". and "dopers" even right here in Montana by commenters of the Missoulian?
How can we be "leftists" when we are actually standing up for peoples rights as voters. The Legislature has no right to turn over a popular vote! These Republicans are supposedly for the Constitution, yet they try to turn over a popular vote because, according to Mike Milburn we were "duped" into it. Personally, I think many Montanans were "duped" into voting for Mike Milburn and many of his Republican cronies. This is not just about MMJ either. The Republicans, mainly, are trying to overturn the equality ordinance (which personally I had some things against) and decrimanalization of marijuana in Missoula. The bottom line is these were voter approved. Congess is trying to say that we don't know what's good for us, Big Brother knows best.
Well, I've always considered myself a Moderate, and I voted for Ron Paul in the last election. I am no leftist, and until I see the Rupublicans start voting for our freedoms, instead of their own agenda, I will always vote against them.
