"Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy"

This group is headed by rightwing talkshow host Seth Liebsohn. Since they can't win the propaganda war anymore they are turning to blocking the will of the people.
We need to ask him why he hates Democracy?


Arizona pot opponents ask high court to block measure

PHOENIX — Opponents of an initiative that would legalize Arizona marijuana for recreational use urged the Arizona Supreme Court to overturn a judge’s decision throwing out their legal challenge and instead block the measure from the November ballot.

The group called Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy includes two prominent county attorneys and the Arizona Chamber of Commerce. They said in a court filing if Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Jo Lynn Gentry’s ruling is allowed to stand, “courts no longer have the power to prevent fraud on the electorate by reviewing an initiative petition on a substantive legal challenge filed by an initiative opponent.”
