Help us be more prosperous and free: more private rights, water to farms and cities first, tort reform to lower health care cost, prevent wild fires, collect and use methane as a fuel, bring back cellophane, recognize the difference between hemp and marijuana. Repeal AB32. Exempt farmers from taxes.
1. Libertarian for Assembly
Janice Marlae Bonser
Candidate for: California State Assembly, District 8
Occupation: Businesswoman
Dear Voter,
I am a Libertarian and Libertarians don’t believe in taxes. We believe in trade, especially by small businesses.
And we believe in private property because the more private property we have the more we have to trade. So
to be more prosperous and free,
• We need more private property and private property rights.
• We need to deliver water to California farms and cities first and help the delta smelt second.
• We need tort reform to lower malpractice insurance cost for doctors. Health care providers need to
advertise their prices and compete for patient business with lower costs and better service.
• We need better management of federal land in California to help prevent wild fires. The federal
government withholds half of California from state or private land management.
• We need to repeal the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) because this California
law conflicts with federal air regulations and slows down and stops the building of biodigesters.
Biodigesters produce natural gas, water, cellulose and sterilized organic fertilizer that looks like clear
jello. Biodigesters also prevent e-coli poisoning, salmonella poisoning, weed seeds, spontaneous
combustion, green house gas emissions and bad smells. Blame the bad smell of cow farms on AB32.
In fact, blame AB32 for fires started by spontaneous combustion of cow dung piles.
• We need to bring back cellophane, a non-toxic biodegradable plastic made from the cellulose of plants,
and a branch of applied chemistry called “chemurgy,” the use of agricultural raw materials to make
industrial products.
• We need to recognize that there are differences between hemp and marijuana. Hemp can’t make us
high!
Flowering fields of hemp destroy THC (the drug in marijuana) within ten miles by cross-pollination. Presidential
debates were held at Hempstead, New York. Why would we name cities after marijuana? Yet federal law,
commencing with the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, outlaws hemp as if it’s marijuana.
The February 1938 issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine reported on a new “decorticator” machine designed
to remove the fiber-bearing cortex from the rest of the stalk.
“American farmers are promised a new cash crop with an annual value of several hundred million dollars,
all because a machine has been invented which solves a problem more than 6,000 years old.”
“[Hemp fiber] is used to produce more than 5,000 textile products, ranging from rope to fine lace, and the
woody “hurds” remaining after the fiber has been removed contain more than seventy-seven per cent
cellulose, and can be used to produce more than 25,000 products, from dynamite to Cellophane.”
“Federal regulations now being drawn up require registration of hemp growers, and tentative proposals for
preventing narcotic production are rather stringent.
However, the connection of hemp as a crop and marijuana seems to be exaggerated.”
– New Billion Dollar Crop, Popular Mechanics, February, 1938
2. To supply American hemp during WWII, farmers who grew hemp and their sons didn’t have to go to war. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture produced a 13-minute film on hemp.
“Long ago when these ancient Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of
mankind.”
“But now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese, and shipment of
jute from India curtailed, American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our
industry. In 1942, patriotic farmers at the government's request planted 36,000 acres of seed hemp, an
increase of several thousand percent.”
“This is hemp seed. Be careful how you use it. For to grow hemp legally you must have a federal
registration and tax stamp.”
– Hemp for Victory, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1942
I was 32 when I lost my home because of marijuana prohibition. I was 34 when I saw Hemp for Victory, and
I got mad! Schools never taught me that America would never have been discovered if it had not been for
hemp sails, hemp rope, hemp gruel, etc.
When I learned that hemp makes 4.1 times more paper per acre than an acre of trees, I bought 500 sheets of
hemp paper for $77. Hemp is imported. That is why it is so expensive.
My math was bad; so I thought if I sold the hemp paper for 10 cents a sheet, I would get my money back and
make a small profit. And just like that, there were 13 dimes at my feet! So I treated my daughters to rides on
the horse machine outside the grocery store. So now when I find a dime, I think of GOD and FREEDOM.
Honor and protect more private property rights. Exempt California farmers from taxation. Repeal AB 32. Tell
the cigarette companies to get their butts off the ground. As your Assemblywoman, I will bring more choices to
California.
Please vote for me and tell your friends too.
Hemp for Victory!
Sincerely,
Janice M. Bonser
