Cartoons and Coding
The author of this cartoon is comparing the Jim Crow laws of the 1960's to Alabama's adopted immigration bill. In the 1960's Jim Crow Law's (Separate but Equal) were created to separate whites and blacks from public institutions. Alabama's new bill prohibits illegal aliens from applying or being admitted to secondary education (college) institutions. Although the author does make a great comparison to the Jim Crow Laws this comic is really only showing half the truth. According to HB 56, its does not specify that illegal aliens cannot attend public schools such as high school or elementary but it's the administration's duty to check the citizen status of both parents. Past Supreme Courts have ruled that a child has the right to a public education no matter their immigration status. Although majority of HB 56 is still in effect, denied access to free public education has been over ridden.
Cartoon #3: Alabama Immigration Law 1
The author of this cartoon is responding to the strict punishments of aiding an undocumented alien. It is a felony in the state of Alabama to aid an undocumented alien if you know that they are undocumented. The author is making the argument that inalienable rights always take seniority over any state or federal law in the United States. The right to life for this person in the cartoon (undocumented or not) is being taken away by the state of Alabama.
1. Positive or negative framing of undocumented immigrants: Postive
What reality is constructed/framed about immigration/immigrants?
In this cartoon Crowe again tries to reinforce the fact that the Alabama HB56 Law is enforced based on appearances of individuals. The author of the cartoon is framing that people with darker skin color (or people who are not pasty white) will be questioned about their citizenship starting Labor Day weekend when the bill was passed into a law.

Research Done and Sent
I compiled all my information
I spent about 2 - 2.5 more hours researching this afternoon, trying to find numbers related to marijuana crime and addiction. Alternet.org helped a lot for these so I highly recommend you check it out if you get a chance.
A couple more useful videos
http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/226362/april-30-2009/ethan-nadelmann
http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/389739/june-15-2011/senior-moment---pot-smoking-seniors
I will do some research on these. More to come.
Some of the alternet stuff I think we can use.

http://www.alternet.org/drugs/151991/is_marijuana_addictive/?page=1
(This one was mentioned by Dr. Cooper specifically, what can we do with it?)

A new website for any more researching you want to do.
alternet.org
Just put marijuana into the search bar and you'll get some great articles.
I'm currently sifting through quite a few of these as they cover a multitude of angles I'm sure we could fit into our video somewhere.
Continuing my research!

What I've Been Researching
Wow, this is a late post...
http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/179077/august-11-2008/nailed--em---medical-marijuana: Nailed 'Em - Medical Marijuana
I feel like in this video they are trying to make the man who was fired seem like a victim. What do you think?
And I liked this from Jon Stewart, where he mentions in a skit with John Hodgeman that tax revenue from legalizing marijuana could help California deal with its budget crisis:
http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-june-9-2009/you-re-welcome---california-budget-crisis: You're Welcome: California Budget Crisis
He seems blunt about the topic in this video (despite Hodgeman's spoofy wind power idea.)
Just sharing my research!

What I've Researched
Group meeting 2
Tuesday, September 27, 2011
Sorry for the misunderstanding Dr. Cooper
In my group I am in charge of finding out if marijuana is truly the most addictive substance, and if marijuana is actually harmful to the body and or brain. In my findings I found an interesting study that helped support the common misguided assumption is that marijuana kills brain cells, first introduced by the Heath/Tulane Study which was conducted under the Reagan Administration. Dr. Heath reported that monkeys who were distributed 30 marijuana cigarettes a day were beginning to die and show brain failure after just 3 months, thus concluding and publicizing to the public that marijuana kills brain cells. After years of requests that the study data and procedures be released, the Health/Tulane Study was finally publicized. Instead of Dr. Heath administering 30 marijuana cigarettes through out the day for 1 year, Heath strapped gas masks on to the monkeys and administered 63 marijuana cigarettes in 5 minutes without the ventilation of smoke for 90 days. While most people would argue that the THC levels killed the monkeys it was in fact suffocation due to lack of oxygen while being pumped with smoke that killed the monkeys explaining the dead brain cells and death.
