RT if you agree that it’s time to legalize marijuana. https://t.co/yffCrF7Shi — PolitiTweet.org

We will never erase the damage done by the drug war—the lives lost, the years spent behind bars—but we can begin to remedy the injustices of the past by ending the cruelty today. Read our full plan here: https://t.co/Vp2RpFUH6H — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Let’s ensure those most impacted by the drug war benefit from the economic opportunities surrounding marijuana—by making sure they receive a majority of the licenses and waiving licensing fees for low-income people who have been convicted of marijuana offenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We will also invest in the communities that have long been most impacted by the War on Drugs—providing a “Drug War Justice Grant” to everyone who was formerly incarcerated for a nonviolent marijuana offense, funded entirely by a tax on the marijuana industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Our plan starts with: Legalizing marijuana, providing clemency for those currently serving time, and expunging the records of everyone who has been convicted for possession in the past. But we don’t stop there. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Today, we are releasing our plan to legalize marijuana and ensure that we repair the injustices of our nation’s drug policies—so they aren’t visited on future generations. Read it here: https://t.co/Vp2RpFUH6H — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Even as marijuana has been legalized in states across our country, inequities have persisted—as white communities have benefited from new business opportunities, while communities of color still face over-policing and criminalization. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

I believe today what I believed then: We don’t only need to legalize marijuana. We also need to repair the damage done to communities of color that have been locked up in our criminal justice system, or locked out of opportunity, because of the War on Drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

When I was on the El Paso City Council, I started advocating for legalizing marijuana and ending a War on Drugs I had seen become a War on People—devastating black and brown communities on both sides of the border. In 2011, I published a book about it: https://t.co/F9YWcjDpPV — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

The media needs to stop fear-mongering. The only guns you will have to sell back are weapons of war, designed to kill as efficiently and effectively as possible. The American people are with me on this: AR-15s and AK-47s belong on the battlefield, not in our communities. https://t.co/SJDG0oPA49 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Proud every single day to be fighting for LGBTQ+ equality alongside @HRC members across the country. Looking forward to the town hall. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

If Congress had made progress already, I might entertain the argument that a buyback is too politically risky. But playing it safe and allowing the NRA to set the terms of the debate no longer works for me, no longer works for our kids, and no longer works for this country. https://t.co/8dZTpmrk19 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

No más niños en jaulas. No más muros. No más de esta retórica que incita ataques hacia los inmigrantes. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

I visited the Downtown Women's Center in Skid Row, where women, especially women of color, who are struggling with homelessness—in the wealthiest country in the history of the world—are providing an example to all of us of how to respond to adversity. Please share their story. https://t.co/Qb9CyRRTQw — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Today, the @NRA sent out a petition calling on supporters to "tell Beto no" to a mandatory buyback program. But the @NRA doesn't represent the American people—and today, we can prove it. Sign our petition calling for a buyback of every AR-15: https://t.co/kn9JE70h8F — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

The majority of the country supports background checks, licensing, red flag laws, and yes, a mandatory assault weapons buyback. The party is with us, the country is with us. Now it’s time for Democrats to lead. https://t.co/exwhPYGEtw — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

When kids go back to school, they have plenty to worry about. They shouldn’t also have to wonder if they’re going to make it home. We need to buy back all of these assault weapons. Warning: It’s graphic, but this is an important video from @sandyhook. https://t.co/l1tS7kchaM — PolitiTweet.org

The Amazon is burning. Farms are underwater. The Bahamas was hit by a historic hurricane. And yet—as CA fights to end climate change, Trump is doing everything he can to stop them from doing so. His ignorance and malice know no bounds. And our future is at risk because of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

To be clear: We will buy back every single assault weapon. We‘ll also license every gun & do a background check on every buyer. That’s what the American people want—and deserve. The only thing stopping us from ending this epidemic is you & your cowardice. Do the right thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Legalizing marijuana isn't enough. We also need to make sure those most impacted by the War on Drugs have a chance to benefit from this growing industry. Thanks to everyone at Equity First Alliance and Cage-Free Cannabis in L.A. for sharing their stories with me today. https://t.co/BJDjNLr4gg — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with homelessness isn’t that it’s inconvenient for Donald Trump and his wealthy friends. It’s that there are people in the same country as Donald Trump and his wealthy friends who are forced to live on the street. https://t.co/fz9Z8wfw5r — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

We can end homelessness. But to do so, we need a President who will tackle this problem with the compassion it requires. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

This is classic Trump. He’s going to terrorize homeless Americans because he thinks they can’t fight back. They deserve shelter. They deserve affordable housing. They deserve mental health care. And most of all they deserve dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Ms. Hill wants to be either a chef or cosmetologist, but for now, she’d like for the government to look at her not like a criminal, but like a human being doing what she can to survive. https://t.co/t3MRYDZb82 — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke

Today, I spent time with people experiencing homelessness in LA — people like Ms. Hill. She sleeps next to 49 other women. When she needs privacy, she goes out to one of the tents on Skid Row, where police often harass and arrest people like her. https://t.co/8xYQjyjqjK — PolitiTweet.org
