Change.org

So a website called Change.org decided to compile a list of ideas voted on by the American people to give to the President-elect. Change.org also claims that they will create ways to further the ideas in policy. This sounds good, but we have heard it all before. So what was the number one question?

Ending Marijuana Prohibition of course.

Change.gov (not to be confused with Change.org) is the website of the President-elect. It is currently compiling ideas to go into a "Citizens Debriefing Book" in which Mr. Obama is supposed to take the top ideas and work on while he is president. So what is the number one issue?

Ending Marijuana Prohibition of course.

Change.gov had also held two different instances of their Ideas for Change application of voting in which citizens asked questions to be answered by the transition team. What dominated both?

Ending Marijuana Prohibition of course.

We have several states currently working on new controversial legislation to join the many states that have decriminalized marijuana and legalized medical marijuana. Mainstream media is finally showing glimpses of giving marijuana prohibition a critical look. Polls show that Americans support ending marijuana prohibition.

So Mr. Obama...what now? You asked for what the people want and they have spoken. We don't expect to have marijuana legalized overnight by any means, but we do want to be taken seriously.
