Each day you remain silent, you help to destroy the Constitution, fill the prisons with our children, and empower terrorists and criminals worldwide while wasting hundreds of billions of your own tax dollars.

Recognizing oppression also carries the weight of responsibility to act upon and oppose that oppression. Prohibition is a vicious anti-constitutional assault on ALL American citizens by a criminally insane and dysfunctional government. Left unchallenged, it will end with the destruction of the entire nation.

If you sincerely believe that prohibition is a dangerous and counter-productive policy then you can stop helping to enforce it. You are entitled—required even—to act according to your conscience.

* It only takes one juror to prevent a guilty verdict.
* You are not lawfully required to disclose your voting intention before taking your seat on a jury.
* You are also not required to give a reason to the other jurors on your position when voting. Simply state that you find the accused not guilty!
* Jurors must understand that it is their opinion, their vote. If the Judge and the other jurors disapprove, too bad. There is no punishment for having a dissenting opinion.

We must create what we can no longer afford to wait for and end the most destructive, dysfunctional, dishonest and racist social policy since Slavery.

PLEASE VOTE TO ACQUIT!

The weakness of the premise is laughable,"my silence" gives no aid to any one.

Yes a basic right is being denied, the right of self medication for those who use it as such; the right to consume leisurely within ones own domain or in the domain of others without fear or oppression from fear mongers who see Frankensteins, Jeckels and Heckals and Werewolfs in their room and hall monitored minds.

I would encourage citizens to participate in the legislative process rather than sabotage the criminal justice system. Make your views known to your elected legislators and vote your opinions. If enough citizens share your view and act on it likewise, it will change. That is the way the Constitution intends for citizens to influence the law of the land, not by ignoring the law when picked for jury duty. Backwards thinking my friend.
