I AM RAMP

Republicans are law abiding, but we know the government must be limited to laws that provide public safety rather than bogging down precious law enforcement resources. RAMP is a growing body of Republicans that reject the big-government approach of marijuana prohibition in favor of personal liberty and responsibility.

My husband and I founded RAMP in October of 2012 when we realized that Marijuana Prohibition ‘trumps’ the basic principles of the Republican Party. We know that smaller government, fiscal responsibility and individual accountability make for a better system of government. It is simply NOT conservative to support marijuana prohibition.

I am RAMP because I believe in individual liberty and responsibility. The government continues to ruin young people’s lives over marijuana offenses where there is no peril to society or the community. RAMP educates and advocate, and I am proud to stand with this group.

I’m a Republican against marijuana prohibition because I respect the sovereignty of every individual over his or her body, including the right to consume cannabis for therapeutic or wellness purposes. I support organizations like RAMP for promoting the legalization discussion within our party.

I am RAMP because I refuse to let my friends, family, or government take the issue of marijuana prohibition lightly, and the more I speak about it, the more Republicans come out of the woodwork in agreement.

I AM RAMP because liberty is essential to all life and the consequences of liberty are better that the consequences of government control.

I am a lifelong pro-God, pro-gun, pro-life Republican who served as State Delegate and as Republican Majority Counsel, U.S. House Judiciary Committee. Any Republican who supports Marijuana Prohibition, the most failed, anti-freedom, big-government policy in history, departs from our party’s core principles of freedom and limited government.
