Presidential Exploratory Committee Update
You may have heard, but I am contemplating a run for the White House in 2012. I am still in the exploration process, but Stephen Colbert could be the deciding factor. If supported by the Colbert SuperPac I will almost certainly run. If you would like to convince Colbert to support me please TELL HIM NOW! Exploration is a dangerous task. About two months ago my Presidential Exploratory Committee of three, John G., Barbara B. and Dahar W., set out across the country to determine support for my campaign. John G., was sent to check the electorate pulse along I-10 and I-40. We were receiving encouraging reports for two weeks, until he reached New Orleans. He hasn’t contacted us since. Barbara B. was sending detailed reports of her meetings along I-80. She was sidetracked and somehow ended up in Billings, Montana, where we last heard from her. Apparently she had an “Aha!” moment and decided on a career change. I hear she is now a successful taste-tester at a popular dispensary. Dahar W. flew to Atlanta and was supposed to wend his way up the East Coast but met his “life partner” and decided to move with him to his native Halifax, where there are few American voters. So, after all our efforts at research we only have anecdotal reports on people’s enthusiasm. Still, my hopes are buoyed. When I explained the Party Party’s platform to the diners at my table at the International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS) Conference, all venerable scientists, they pledged their support, as did a random group of diners at Cheeba Hut in Denver, CO. One of my opponents, Michele Bachmann, has claimed that she is getting her info from God, but either He needs a fact-checker or a better connection.
“One of my opponents, Michele Bachmann, has claimed that she is getting her info from God, but either He needs a fact-checker, or a better connection.”
Another, Mitt Romney, claims superior knowledge because he has failed at several businesses. We need someone who has had a good economic season, not a handsome failure at life whose opinions are based on opinion polls, thereby avoiding the fateful thinking process. Of course, Obama sold a lot of people a good line. But they forgot to remember that if it seems to good too be true, it probably is. His first and last unabashedly good deed as President was his inaugural concert. OK… he has done some gay rights stuff, but he’s still opposed to gay marriage and still thinks Afghanistan and Libya are good wars. I can’t figure it out. Good for what? Afghanistan is not worth one American life. Obama is showing symptoms of MDS, Marijuana Deficiency Syndrome, a serious condition made all the more dangerous because of the tremendous power he controls over our life and death. Sadly, his attitude toward marijuana is just another symptom of his condition. Meanwhile, I’ve been pondering domestic and foreign policy frequently. Hopefully, The Party-Part will quickly approve the platform that I have proposed, which is as follows: 1.) Legalize pot. Free the heads. Investigate the period and indict corrupt cops who violated citizen’s rights during the infamous pothibition. 2.) Close all U.S. military bases in the 80 countries where they are maintained. This is a complex operation so we will only close one a week. The first one will be in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This will be a double coup for U.S. foreign policy. We don’t need Guantanamo and if we did an environmental review we’d probably find it is an unsafe “superfund” environmental disaster site. It also houses all those al-Qaeda operatives and the innocents we’ve turned into their supporters. Leave them there so they become the Castros’ problem. The second country we will depart from: Afghanistan! We will have no more American casualties, save lots of dollars and will cease to supply our enemies with weaponry sold to them by the corrupt Afghani government. When the Taliban and al-Qaeda have no foreigners to fight, they will fight each other, even without sophisticated weapons. They will continue to fight to the death, using stones and knives when they run out of our gifts. Remember al-Qaeda’s most sophisticated weapon was a box cutter. 3.) With the military savings from not building weapons and maintaining bases, the U.S. will be able to proceed with the “Culture Inoffensive.” I’ve mentioned it before. Each week, to celebrate our troops coming home triumphantly, we will throw “The Big Cultural Event.” This is a weeklong party with concerts, theater, visual arts and sports. It will be free and will be broadcast worldwide for all the world to enjoy. The party will be held in a different city each week so every part of the country will benefit. 4.) Investigate the cause of the depression using forensic accounting investigators. Seize all tainted money that was illegally obtained by the “too big to fail” banks. Hold the perpetrators personally responsible. 5.) Re-invigorate the anti-trust laws for both domestic and multinational corporations and banks. Re-adopt laws separating banking and investment banking. 6.) Use the tax laws to encourage research and manufacturing in the U.S. 7.) End the deficit by closing corporate and ultra-rich tax loopholes. Make it more expensive for foreign corporations to do business in the U.S. What do you think? Should I buy a hat to throw in the ring? Get in touch with me on facebook. Again if you want to see me run, the best way to make it happen is to

Well, Ed, you have my vote!
Still waiting for a visit and return phone call Ed.

I’m a member of the Tea Pot Party and I endorse Ed Rosenthal for President!
Ed Rosenthal, you have my vote. Your topics and areas of interest are impeccable. We need you to run. America needs your personality, your enthusiasm, and your mind. Cultural events coupled with returning troops would not only increase this countries moral but put a dent in our debt and give our citizens more cash in their pocket. Our leaders need to realize “Reefer Madness” is over! We have more information out there than we can chew on. We know cannabis holds medicinal weight as well as tons of uplifting spiritual qualities. Cannabis is not going to disappear because it’s illegal. The existing laws have done nothing but increase the number of drug related crimes and wrongfully accused criminals who are using a drug that in my opinion is safer than alcohol. To make matters even worse, (and I have personally experienced this one) federal police are still arresting and fining sick people, and they know they are doing it. Please help us mend the disconnected ties we share with this healing plant, lend us your hand and we will take it. I know I will do my best to be a part of the end to this asinine prohibition, and I have faith that you will do yours; you have already done so much for this cause. Thank you Ed.

All good points except for the culprit, the ones who put forth the already written and almost impossible to change laws that are in effect the laws from previous administration the only reason we cant leave the wars we are in is because of the true reasons we went there for and truly they’re money, money, money and oil, oil, oil and because of Americas dependence on fossil fuels, we will forever be in countries that have a steady production. The oil companies under the previous administration were owned by haliburton which was almost completely run by dick cheney. If we want to collectively point fingers at the people who have driven this country into the ground then we need to focus more attention on our previous Vice President, who actually mad ALL the decisions that have put us in the situation we are in now.
If you run for President you will win it, that is a guess but if potheads unite it will happen, my vote included.
DONT FORGET LITHIUM. You said we went to war for money ans oil oil oil, dont forget lithium for the batteries. oh ED if you run you have my vote
