My Exchange with David Vitters Office on Marijuana

Here is an exchange between myself and the office of Senator Vitter. He is our local rep and a hypocrite who takes money from private corporations. He has taken thousands from tele com companies for the privatization of the Internet.....

Dear Mr. Carrone,

Thank you for contacting me in support of legalizing personal marijuana use. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue.

As you know, legislation has been introduced in Congress that would remove federal criminal penalties for personal marijuana use. The Act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults would prohibit any federal criminal penalties for the possession of 100 grams or less of marijuana for personal use.

While marijuana use may not cause the same destructive addictiveness of "hard" drugs like cocaine or heroin, I do not support legalizing the personal use of marijuana. I am concerned that legalizing the personal use of marijuana would send the wrong message to young people and could lead to increased use of other drugs and more drug addiction.

Though we disagree on this issue, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about any issue important to you.

Sincerely,
Senator David Vitter
United States Senator

My Reply:

Like cigarettes and alcohol is not the wrong message to young people? More deaths occur from those two substances than any illegal drug.

I also feel that recent violence on the border is proof that the war on drugs is a complete failure. Legalizing for personal use for adults would cut down some of that border violence.

For one, the cartels will not be sending marijuana because the best marijuana is grown domestically.

For two, some adults who use "harder" drugs may not and just smoke marijuana. Which would cut the demand for harder drugs.

America is the biggest consumer of drugs in the world. It is 40 billion dollars a year that goes to Mexico that could be in our economy. How are you planning to cut the demand for drugs from Americans? Build more prisons? That says the people are at fault for wanting to get high. If you go after the cartels, it will most prob be a war as big as Iraq.

All I am saying is that as an intelligent human being, you must set aside your personal "moral values" and see the bigger picture. Your morals is not helping this nation. Plus you have no right to mention morals since you were committing adultery. What kind of "message" is that to send our children? It is ok to hire a prostitute to cheat on your wife then accept no responsibility for such an act?

Just like our drug laws, the laws dealing with prostitution do not work. Brian here has begun to document on video the problem in his neighborhood after his calls to police were ignored. You know how busy they are. The cops have pot heads to arrest.

94 Year Old Man Entrapped In Prostitution Sting

George Carlin said it best when he said "Fucking is legal. Giving someone money is legal. But giving someone sex for money is illegal. Makes no sense."...

It is just another way to control people. Especially women. How dare a woman want to make a decision about her body! For God sake, we could never have that!

And these poor Johns. All they want is a little action because they can't find a willing friend. So we penalize guys for not having more girlfriends who are sluts?

If you are a Governor or Senator or even a Prosecutor in a major city, you can be involved with prostitution ring and never see a day in jail. They say that is between that person and his wife and it is a private matter. But if you just a regular Joe who can't pay 4 grand for one night with a prostitute like Spitzer, then you end up in jail.

Here is your tax dollars at work....arresting old people for prostitution, arresting homeless people for not having a home and what ever new crimes they can come up with to just keep people down.

BRADENTON - A 94-year-old man whose arrest in a prostitution sting here caused an international buzz will not be prosecuted. A judge ruled Tuesday that Frank Milio was a victim of entrapment.

Milio, who has dementia, was unable to get into a care facility while his case was pending.

The undercover Manatee County Sheriff's Office detective on the street corner that afternoon in November took 30 steps to go chat with Milio, who authorities say had honked his car horn at the woman to get her attention.

Milio, who turned 94 this month, stopped his car in a parking lot about 60 feet away from the woman, who was standing in an area where authorities regularly set up stings to nab johns. Milio did not flash his lights or say anything to lure the woman over. The woman opened his passenger side door and leaned inside. "Do you want to party tonight?" the woman asked Milio, who replied that he wanted to think about it for another 15 to 20 minutes. The officer asked about money. She asked whether Milio wanted sex. Milio replied: "Huh?" Milio eventually offered to pay for oral sex.

Manatee County Judge George K. Brown Jr. weighed in Tuesday, tossing the misdemeanor case, in a six-page order that questions the extent to which the detective controlled the nature and direction of the sexual conversation.

"This particular 93-year-old man was encouraged and/or enticed to proceed with the police officer's direction of conversation," Brown wrote.

The judge's order, however, says the sequence of actions and conversation by the undercover officer "carried with it a substantial risk" that Milio would commit a crime.

After Milio's arrest, prosecutors declined to file a charge against another elderly Bradenton man accused in a solicitation sting in Bradenton -- his second charge in 20 years.

That 93-year-old man promised to return several hours later with $30 to seal the deal. A prosecutor said the state was unable to prove the man intended to return.

The pending charge against Milio blocked him from getting into an assisted living facility, Grieco said. That now may change.
