There's lots of things people choose to do because they feel, in some way, it enhances their quality of life,\" he said.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Leon is a former three-term State Representative from Macomb County (he was term-limited).  He is a two-time attendee of Republican Liberty Caucus national conventions.  He is a longtime close friend of the Libertarian Party of Michigan.  (In 2008 Leon actually won a large-screen television set in a raffle at a meeting of the Macomb Libertarians.) He also volunteered as a campaign worker for two weeks in Congressman Ron Paul's first campaign in Texas in 1996.<\/p><p>He is now running for an open seat for the Michigan State Senate.  Ironically, he is challenging two of his best friends for the seat, libertarian-leaning conservative former State Rep. Jack Brandenburg of St. Clair Shores, and Rep. Kim Meltzer who Drolet actually recruited to take his seat in the legislature after he was term-limited out.<\/p><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7bdf4_7828681836623105417-5546833617701983604?l=www.libertarianrepublican.net\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Eric Dondero:My old friend and political ally Leon Drolet is quoted in Time Magazine on-line, in the article \"Detroiters Ponder Marijuana Legalization.\" Former state Rep.
