Third Element of Economic Transformation Plan Revealed By Senate Candidate

Potts Says She Would Submit Bill in US Senate to Allow Farmers to Grow Cannabis

Springfield, MO -- On Monday November 16th, Midge Potts revealed that the third element of her Economic Transformation Plan would be to repeal any and all federal statutes that outlaw growing hemp and marijuana in the United States. While appearing as a guest on the conservative talk radio Super Dave Show, airing daily on KFBL 1060am in Springfield Missouri, Dave agreed with Midge that marijuana should be made legal.

"If American farmers could grow cannabis, it would be an incredible jump start for our economy," Said Ms. Potts, "Besides the tax revenue we will gain from recreational use, the United States will also benefit by utilizing hemp's industrial uses as a replacement for petroleum products such as plastic, soap, rope, canvass and many other everyday items in the new Green Economy."

In her June 2009 campaign announcement, Ms Potts spoke of the Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act as the first element of a five tier Economic Transformation Plan. The second element calls for a massive tax restructuring in the United States to include an amendment to the Constitution dismantling the Internal Revenue Service.

If elected to the US Senate in 2010, Midge Potts says she also intends to submit a bill to Congress that would allow growing cannabis on a person's own private property, and allow people to use their harvest as they deem appropriate in their own home just like any other common herb.
