February 5, 2009 (LPAC)--Informed of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's record as a decade-long champion of legalizing pot, American statesman Lyndon LaRouche summed up the situation: Pelosi is the chief pot head of the House of Representatives.

Just yesterday, George Soros's top drug legalization hitman, Ethan Nadelmann, again promised, as he has before, that Pelosi is key to the campaign to legalize dope. Soros's man told a pro-dope symposium at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain that Nancy Pelosi is one of the reasons to be hopeful that U.S. anti-drug laws can be overturned. U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein of California and Chuck Schumer of New York are "two of the worst Democrats in the U.S. Senate when it comes to criminal justice. They're a nightmare. They haven't woken up," he said, "but Nancy Pelosi-- she gets it, and Henry Waxman and Barney Frank get it," he added.

NORML, another of Soros's pothead association, is using Pelosi's August 27 CNN interview during the 2008 Democratic Party Convention to mobilize their ranks against Congress. Asked in that interview, "as a taxable resource, what stops marijuana from being legalized, for medicinal or recreational purposes, throughout the country?" Pelosi responded: "I myself have supported medicinal use of marijuana over and over again, in various-- whether it's an iniative or a law in the U.S." We try to grow our numbers each year, but it's a struggle," she complained. Congress "just isn't there yet," she added, singling out "leading members of the Congressional Black Caucus" in particular as obstacles to the Soros agenda. "We need peoples help to be in touch with their members of Congress to say why this [marijuana law reform] should be the case."

Pelosi has, in fact, been a champion of legalizing "medical" marijuana since George Soros's millions help pass the landmark 1996 California referendum which led California to today become the producer of one half of all the marijuana sold in the U.S. Expansion of production and consumption of marijuana was the goal of that Soros-Pelosi subterfuge, and that was the result, as most graphically seen in the shocking expose of the narco takeover of California under "medical" marijuana in CNBC's Jan. 25, 2009 one-hour special on "Marijuana, Inc."

Highlights of Pelosi's record of dope promotion include:

In June 1997, she and her bail-out-the banks cohort Barney Frank, co-sponsored the "Medical Use of Marijuana Act," to legalize so-called "medical" marijuana nationally.

In Sept. 1998, she voted against an amendment to the Drug Demand Reduction Act to require anyone hired by the Federal Government to be subjected to random, unannounced drug testing.

In Oct. 1999, she voted against a bill that prohibited the legalization of "medical" marijuana and needle exchange programs in the nation's capital.

In July 2001, she co-sponsored the "States Rights to Medical Marijuana Act," seeking to overturn federal authority over anti-drug laws.

In June 2005, she was back at it, speaking on the floor of the House in favor of an amendment which would "change federal law to permit medical marijuana," and forbid federal authorities from enforcing anti-marijuana laws nationally, calling medical marijuana legalization a "states rights issue."
