2012 maybe http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2011/05/progressive_chairman_peter_b_l.html COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The movement to legalize medical marijuana in Ohio has been reignited. Peter B. Lewis -- the billionaire chairman of Progressive Corp. and well-known medical marijuana advocate -- is seeking proposals to run a campaign to legalize medical marijuana in Ohio. The issue would go on the ballot in 2012. "We want to see what kind of proposals that come in and we'll proceed from there," said Graham Boyd, the former director of the ACLU Drug Law Reform Project and an adviser to Lewis. While Democratic lawmakers have tried and failed in recent years to pass medical a marijuana law in Ohio, Lewis' latest inquiry represents a different tack. By going directly to voters through a ballot initiative, Lewis and his supporters could circumvent a GOP-controlled legislature and a Republican governor who likely would oppose such a law. "Obviously with his backing, and more importantly his dollars, that's the only way getting passage of this bill is going to happen in the state of Ohio," said Rep. Kenny Yuko, a Democrat from Richmond Heights who has introduced bills to legalize medical marijuana. Lewis, whose company is based in Mayfield Village, is among the most wealthy, high-profile supporters of medical marijuana legalization. Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, estimates that Lewis has contributed between $40 million and $60 million to the cause since the 1980s. "No person on the face of this Earth has donated more money to reform marijuana laws than Peter B. Lewis," St. Pierre said. The ballot initiative campaign Lewis is pursuing would include grassroots organizing, opinion research and advertising, according to a copy of his request for proposals. The campaign also would be designed to be a model for similar efforts in other states. "Of the states that continue to prohibit medical use of marijuana, Ohio stands out as having particularly high levels of voter support," the request for proposals reads. Indeed, an April 2009 Ohio Poll, conducted by the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati, found that 73 percent of Ohio adults favored allowing medical marijuana. And putting the issue on the fall 2012 ballot, when President Obama runs for re-election, would be an advantage. "It's more of a Democratic issue than a Republican issue and I think the Democrats are going to come out in full force" in 2012, Yuko said. "It's going to be a good position for our medical marijuana supporters to be in." Medical marijuana is legal for qualified patients in 15 states, according to Lewis' request for proposals. Legislation introduced last month in Ohio would permit medical marijuana use to treat diseases such as cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis and sickle cell anemia. A spokesman for House Speaker William G. Batchelder, a Republican from Medina, said the bill is not a high priority. Boyd, Lewis' advisor, would not say whether similar proposals were being sought in other states. He said the proposals for a campaign in Ohio were sent to people who realistically would submit responses, which are due by May 15. St. Pierre, of NORML, said the outcome of a ballot initiative in Ohio could reverberate throughout the Midwest. "It's definitely a bellwether state -- both politically and culturally," St. Pierre said. "Whatever passes in Ohio will probably serve as a pretty good benchmark for the rest of middle America."

its also crap and does not work very well.

add it into your picture IMO. add a little gray to the bottom, and type in whatever you want.

polls show that 73% favor it. i dont really know how someone can be against letting sick people have medicine. apparently they have never spent any time around someone with cancer.

http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=129_HB_214te introduced to the house. discuss.

drunk as shit. or on vacation by using my 2 weeks of vacation.

kosos are pretty sweet. they are a bit spendy though. but they change colors and stuff lol. i have an acewell that has worked perfectly. most of them come with a magnet and sensor. magnet goes on rotor, sensor on fork. enter wheel diameter.

this shit is good because its much better than bud light in an aluminum bottle, or whatever else you fags are drinking (miller lite? coors? puh-leez) its cheap beer for the working man. you just spent 10 hours in a fucking coal mine. fuck budweiser. yuengling is what you want.

sure you would. and if on some slim chance you actually didnt, well, thats fine... but you just ostracized yourself. any bill you bring up dies in committee. and when its time for re-election, they pay for someone else's election campaign and you get voted out.

no.

that wouldnt even work, because as soon as they got there theyd start lining their pockets too. a person cant change the system. the system changes the person. hell we could all vote for YOU, but the minute someone opens a briefcase full of cash for you, youd throw us under the bus too.

but we have the best health care in the world!!!!

so you knew it was bull and were just seeing if we would too... got it.

i have seen no ohio law that states that. nor have i seen an ohio law that would relieve an insurance company of their obligation to pay for your loss just because you were uninsured. please show me what laws say that. im interested to find out.

but my limit is for when i am liable. OP said if i have minimum limits, then i will not get compensated if the person who crashes me (i.e. they are liable) has min. limits. if they are at fault then they are liable. so their insurance should pay out up to their max... i dont get what MY insurance has to do with it. i mean, hell, i could have NO insurance, but if you hit me (you are at fault), your insurance is still going to have to pay up to the limit. now, if I rear end YOU and dont have insurance, thats when the subrogation will come in. your insurance will pay your loss and then sue me to make that money back.

explain further please. how do my limits affect what the at-fault driver's insurance does?

I raced a Mustang today and after some really hard riding I managed to PASS the guy. I was riding on one of those really, really twisting sections of canyon road with no straight sections to speak of and where most of the curves have warning signs that say "15 MPH". I knew if I was going to pass one of those monsters with those big-cubic-inch motors, it would have to be a place like this where handling is more important than horsepower alone. I saw the guy up ahead as I exited one of the turns and knew I could catch him, but it wouldn't be easy. I concentrated on my braking and cornering. three corners later, I was on his fender. Catching him was one thing; passing him would prove to be another. Two corners later, I pulled up next to him as we sailed down the mountain. I think he was shocked to see me next to him, as I nearly got by him before he could recover. Next corner, same thing. I'd manage to pull up next to him as we started to enter the corners but when we came out he'd get on the throttle and outpower me. His horsepower was almost too much to overcome, but this only made me more determined than ever. My only hope was to outbrake him. I held off squeezing the lever until the last instant. I kept my nerve while he lost his. In an instant I was by him. Corner after corner, I could hear the roar of his engine as he struggled to keep up. Three more miles to go before the road straightens out and he would pass me for good. But now I was in the lead and he would no longer hold me back. I stretched out my lead and by the time we reached the bottom of the canyon, he was more than a full corner behind. I could no longer see him in my rear-view mirror. Once the road did straighten out, it seemed like it took miles before he passed me, but it was probably just a few hundred yards. I was no match for that kind of horsepower, but it was done. In the tightest section of road, where bravery and skill count for more than horspower and deep pockets, I had passed him. though it was not easy, I had won the race to the bottom of the canyon and I had preserved the proud tradition of another of America's best bikes. I will always remember that moment. I don't think I've ever pedaled so hard in my life. And some of the credit must go to Schwinn, as well. They really make a great bicycle...

he must like bouncing his face off the windshield.

typical. why do people have such a problem admitting when they are wrong?

10 feet long, spaced 30 feet apart per federal regulations.

still a waste of time/effort/gas

so OP, which was it? did you have no clue what the solicitor general was, or did you know and just hoped no one else did?

motorcycle racing mustang = waste of motorcycle's gas.

i like getting hammered in the infield.

if all you want to do is make calls and txt message, go get a burner phone. no contract or anything. just reup your txts when you need to. edit: ok i didnt see that this was already suggested. to fix the service problem, move out of the sticks.
