Bruce Margolin has a plan to save our nations largest and wealthiest state from its economic crisis:

1. Take California's No.1cash crop off of the black market and tax the sale and distribution of Marijuana in the state.

As the 30-year director for LA NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Law) and a top defense attorney in the state of California, Mr. Margolin knows the facts of this costly prohibition.

We can raise billions of dollars in revenue for the State, not only through the taxation of this valuable medicinal herb and the related hemp industry but also through vast savings in law inforcemnt and incarceration costs.


2. Use his power as Governor to pardon and release all persons imprisoned by the State on nonviolent marijuana charges.

No one belongs in jail because of marijuana.

3. Place a states' rights lawsuit before the US Supreme Court Challenging the Federal Government to the right to dictate marijuana law in this state.

As Governor Bruce Margolin can and will place a lawsuit before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the Federal Government's right to dictate marijuana law in the state of California.


4. Make California a haven for the billion dollar holistic health care industry. Mr. Margolin will also aid California's economic crises by making California a "Haven" for the billion dollar holistic Health Care Industry by protecting patients and their practitioners right to decide how to heal themselves when they are sick.


5. Create tax cuts and tax incentives for environmentally friendly industries including the hemp.With tax cuts and tax incentives for environmentally friendly industries, Bruce intends to welcome jobs back to California while still protecting our environment.


6. Reduce vehicle registration to a flat $35 fee. Mr. Margolin intends to further assist Californians with their transportation costs with his controversial plan to reduce vehicle registration costs to a flat 35.00 fee. Bruce does not believe that the DMV should be a revenue station for the state.

He believes the way to move people toward public transportation is through making public transportation more available and more practical, not by creating heavier tax burdens on automobile owners.


7. Return the Lottery money promised to our schools.

As the father of three children whom have all been educated in the public school system, and a committed supporter of public education, Bruce is well aware of our state's obligation to our students and to their schools. He will work to replace the "lost" lottery money promised to our schools when the measure to implement the state lottery was passed some twenty years ago.

Mr. Margolin has been awarded Honorary Teaching credentials from the L.A. Unified School District for his participation in the Lawyer in the Classroom Program.
