The Grassroots Party has come together under the common bond of ending the prohibition of Cannabis, hemp, a.k.a. “marijuana”. The story of this unconstitutional prohibition highlights the fact that most of our American rights have been sacrificed over the years by both Democratic & Republican administrations.
The Grassroots Party is for real change, for real democracy - an empowered, informed people gaining control of the government for our common future.We are dedicated to the principles for which the American Revolution was fought -our inalienable rights to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”. Concerned about a 5 trillion dollar debt, - partisan bickering, gridlock, and politics as usual? Want to save the family farm, create jobs, protect the environment, and reverse the erosion of our constitutional rights? The Grassroots Party offers the vision, ideas, and solutions to these and other problems. Our permanent platform is the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights and the Vermont State Constitution.Click this link or link at top of page to go to Vermont Grassroots Party Home Page!http://www.vermontel.com/~epgorge/vgrp.htm

We are definitely not Demopublicans for drugs. We have lots of other issues like the global plantation masters and international banksters that rule the world. we want to abolish the Federal Reserve Corporation Banking system. I'm opposed to their tools such as Nafta, Gatt, the FTAA. The IMF and World Bank need to be democraticized. We favor major institutional changes. Our permanent platform is the Bill of Rights. Please contact me at vtgroots madriver.com if you want more info about the VGP. The Libertarians have no environmental program whereas we want to end America's oil addiction and fight the petro-pharmaceutical cartels by utilizing cannabis, hemp, aka marijuana for it's 50,000 uses. Both the Libertarian and Green Parties who are diametrically opposed to one another have asked me to join their parties as our platform they find to be compatible with theirs. Of course they don't get enough votes to make them a major party and I suggest that the Greens and Libertarians join us. Actually we are a party of independents for independence and look to get the 2/3rds of Americans who are independent to support our common sense political positions. Our only special interests are Americans. We get no money from multinational corporations as we threaten their bottom line and therefore are not beholden to anyone except our own conciousnesses. Our still under construction site is at http://www.voteGrassroots.com Check out our link to "Shadow of the Swastika". It explains a lot about the real reason why the government won't debate medical cannabis or industrial hemp. Denny Lane

The VGP has sweeping changes in its outlook for America's landscape after cannabis is embraced as a truly superior prodcuct. Imagine a crop which requires little fertilization and soil treatment, virtually no pesticides, which crowds out all weeds; a crop worth many times that of milk with much less labor intensity. Here is a crop which would provide clean fuel to run tractors and trucks, at a fraction of the cost of petrochemicals while keeping all of the money in the country and with farmers and local processors.

I'm the founder of the VGP and am in the process of having someone else create our homepage which is incomplete. Check back in a month or so. We are mainly independents for independence and share a devotion to the Bill of Rights with the Libertarians. I am against the global plantation masters and international banksters that rule the world through their paid puppet Republicrats and Demopublicans. I want to retire America and Vermont's debt and abolish the FED(a privately owned-(2/3rds by foreign interests)corporation that functions as our central bank. I want to do what Lincoln and Kennedy did and attempted to do before they were assassinated(some say by Rothschild agents) and that is to issue Treasury notes directly. Not enough space to continue why I take issue to the Grassroots Party being labeled like a Democrat. I want less intrusive,centralized government. We can keep some govt. programs that benefit people in need by ending prohibition. Prohibition is the cause of crime, corruption and violence and not drugs themselves. We already did the Volstead Act and created Al Capone and wonder why we have so many gangs and violence nowadays. The War on Drugs(war on people that use prohibited government plants) cost over $150 BILLION dollars annually. Since 1965 we have arrested over 13 million Americans and currently arrest someone for a cannabis offense every 42 seconds. I am opposed to the police/prison/slave labor industrial complex that now has over 2 million federal prisoners with 60% being non-violent drug "offenders". Since 1995, over $9 BILLION dollars has been stolen by the government under the guise of forfeiture laws. Under current federal law(Crime control act of '94-'95), our founding fathers Washington and Jefferson would be executed as drug "kingpins" and Mt. Vernon and Monticello stolen by the government. Murderers, rapists, thieves, white collar criminals, etc. don't lose their children, get imprisoned for draconian mandatory minimum sentences of 50 to 99 years, or have their lifes possessions stolen by the Federal government. I want to end Amerika's oil addiction and shift from a dirty fossil fuel based economy to an environmentally helpful hemp based one.(along with small scale hydro, solar, wind and other alternative energy sources.By ending an annual $150 Billion dollar War that accomplishes nothing but to decimate the Bill of Rights, we would have enough money to afford to fix our infrastructure and invest in the future well being of our citizenry. Lot more to say so check out the Vermont Grassroots Party's new homepage when construction is hopefully finished in a month. In the meantime you could check out the last version of the VGP homepage. Someone else took creative license and not everything about what I believe in is included, but I wrote 99% of the platform/philosophy. I'll list the url below. Unlike the Libertarians- who are mainly disgruntled ex-GOPers and unbridled capitalism and greed are God(yes there are great exceptions to this categorazation), we are truly of, by and for the people. I (we) are opposed to any form of totalitarianism. Look at the bottom of our old homepage under links and check out something called "The Shadow of the Swastika". Well bibliograped tome on why the government won't debate medical cannabis or industrial hemp and goes way deeper than that! The subtitle is "An Ongoing Conspiracy Between the Nazi's and the U.S. Establishment- before, during and after WW2.  Let me know what you think. Sincerely yours in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I'm Denny Lane

How I feel is whoever builds a better mouse trap will get my vote. I don't support any party but look for someone who really is concerned about reforming drug laws. Thanks for your comment!

No offense, but it sounds like it's just 'democrats for drugs' to me. The only major change they want to make is legalization (which is okay, by the way). They talk "less government", while keeping all of the 'programs' in place. "Less" does not mean the same. Thanks, but I'll take the Libertarians instead.
