 Thanks for the evaluations particularly of the couple of City
 proposals 4 and 5 . Your comment on being for #3 partially
 because "Randi Weingarten, is hysterically opposed to it"
 jibes with my observation of Denny Farrel & Clinton & Schumer's
 pr man were so stridently against it .  It clearly scares the
 hell out of the Democratic establishment .


 However , I disagree with your recommendation to not even vote=
 for
 races other than those with LPers running .

 Vote AGAINST the incumbent unless they are one of the very few=
 who
 stood up against the juggernaut to criminalize smokers . If they=
 are
 one of those few , I would recommend holding your nose and=
 voting for
 them . This will maximize the statistical message of anger at=
 this
 most egregious unconstitutional extension of the war on some=
 drugs .
