By a huge majority, Americans support laws legalizing marijuana and criminalizing Congress, according to a poll released on Thursday. While the poll reflects a relaxation of attitudes about recreational pot use, it also suggests that many Americans now view membership in Congress as a problem ravaging the nation. Harland Dorrinson, an activist who has spent years mobilizing support for the criminalization of Congress, said that this poll reinforces what many of us have been saying for a long time: Congress destroys lives. Ive seen productive members of society get involved with Congress and completely lose the will to work, he said. They just sit there, totally numb and out of touch with reality. He noted that the once prevalent view that membership in Congress was harmless is now being discredited. If you look at what happens to someones brain after ten, twenty, or even thirty years in Congress, its devastating, he said. There is severe impairment. Additionally, he warned that Congress is a gateway elective office that leads many to try running for President.
