Like no other time in history, modern America suffers from a lack of domestic clean energy production, weakened national security, unprecedented personal and governmental debt, and a destitute middle class.
This is why it is imperative that the 112th Congress of the USA vote to approve of H.R.1831, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2011, sponsored by Congressman Ron Paul and co-sponsored by 26 other members across the political spectrum.

What does hemp have to do with energy security, national security, and national prosperity? I am glad you asked.
Over the last 30 years, the U.S. Federal government in conjunction with the privately held Federal Reserve system have gutted our a middle class with years of economic policies that force unsustainable lifestyles, debt, and dependence. Meanwhile absentminded citizens, addicted to a lifestyle of consumption and convenience are largely unaware that our military and Federal government have justified the defense of finite resources such as natural gas and petroleum at all costs around the globe as explicitly defined in the Carter Doctrine. At the same time the Federal government provides subsidies for the fossil fuel industry giving them an unfair advantage over alternative energy sources. These policies and addictions have bankrupted our citizens and governments, polluted our planet, driven us to war, and endangered our national security.
Now at the beginning of the 21st century it is unmistakable that as part of the total solution we need access to every available clean energy resource available on god's green earth and this MUST include HEMP. Legalizing and taxing hemp across the nation would spawn new industries that could be a vital part of the solution to many of our economic problems by creating jobs for citizens across the country and creating new exports to fight the trade deficit.
Hemp is high yield crop, producing more biomass per acre than most other crops and can be used for biofuels, biomass, textiles, paper, plastics, and more. Unlike oil, coal, natural gas or nuclear fuels, hemp is a biodegradable, renewable resource that could supply us with raw materials for thousands of years, without changing our climate and without producing waste that remains radioactive for millions of years.
Reasonable taxation of the production and distribution of this new crop and energy source would create revenues for city and state governments fighting deficits. Confining licenses to citizens and chartered small businesses would promote sustainable jobs for the middle class across the country and facilitate financial independence for creative clean energy entrepreneurs.
As a domestically grown alternative biofuel, hemp could become an effective peace pipe for national security by easing geopolitical tensions between the US and other nations (such as China) competing for energy in increasingly dangerous locations.
Opponents of the bill such as big pharma, big oil, the cotton and the natural gas lobbies will argue that their economic prosperity will decline with the legalization of industrial hemp farming in the US market. For them there are no easy answers. For the middle class, however, this is an opportunity of a lifetime.
Americans concerned about energy, pollution, war, and economic prosperity, must ACT NOW. Show your support for HR1831 - Legalization of Industrial Hemp Farming
