has also been trying for some time to get a medical marijuana bill introduced.
Either of these issues would be tough sledding in a state as conservative as
Idaho. Nonetheless, both are serious issues, and deserve to be treated
seriously--not just for campaign purposes. One of the reasons Tom is viewed
by many as being ineffective is because he takes on too many issues to deal
with them seriously. When I was substituting for Shirley Ringo in the legislature
at the beginning of February, several legislators came up to me, shaking their
heads and said “Why is he working on both of these issues at the same
time—it means neither will go anywhere.” And the proof is in
the pudding: neither has gone anywhere to date.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Rep. Trail has been trying to get Idaho to legalize
industrial hemp (something that should be way less controversial than his
current bill) for a long time, yet the legislature doesn't want anything to do
with it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I don't think Tom dragged his feet on this issue.
I'd rather have him take 2 years to get it right than rush to write something
that probably wouldn't get a hearing, anyway.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>At least with the current bill, only closed-minded,
uncompassionate people wouldn't support it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I don't think this is something that he needs to get

<p class=MsoPlainText>Thanks, Tom, for getting this bill out there. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>Now if we could get the rest of the legislature to come
to their senses, and instead of challenging gun and health law, challenge a
wasteful drug law and let me (a farmer) grow hemp for fiber!<o:p></o:p></p>
