So I saw this quote today and wanted to share it.
[FONT="]In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.[/FONT][FONT="]

My friends, my point was I refuse to go silently into the night on this.
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Patients, Friends and Activists
Obamas administration has taken its gloves off. After giving the medical cannabis community a false sense of security, Obamas administration continues to ignore state laws, intimidate state officials, and raid medical cannabis patients and facilities.
This month, ASA launched our new national campaign, and we are sending a clear message to President Obama from the medical cannabis community: We are sick and tired. We are suffering from chronic and debilitating conditions, and we are weary of false promises that do nothing to protect our rights as patients.
ASAs Sick and Tired Campaign involves approaching the federal government from several angles, and
we need your help to reach every corner of Obamas administration.
Today, ASA released the
Obama Report Card. This details federal interference in medical cannabis laws under the Obama administration, and Obama fails. Even though he promised to not use federal resources to interfere with states medical cannabis laws, Obamas administration has continued raiding legal patients and facilities. Additionally, the administration has launched new tactics and constructed new roadblocks for patients, including issues related to patient privacy, access, banking, taxation, and threats of filing suite against state employees who participate in upholding state law.
Join us in calling on Obama to keep his promise.
Sign ASA's petition urging Obama to end federal interference in existing medical cannabis programs, and legitimize medical cannabis for the sick and dying across the country.
But were not stopping there. ASA is hosting a National Day of Action on May 2, centered on Dale Schafer and Mollie Frys surrender date in Sacramento, CA. Mollie and Dale are legal patients and were arrested and convicted without a defense under President Bush. They appealed their sentence, which was vigorously fought by the Obama administration in the Ninth Circuit. Mollie and Dale's sentences were upheld in November. Additionally, a
clemency petition was filed this week in an effort to shorten Mollie's sentence. Please mark your calendar to join ASA on May 2 and keep an eye out for Information about a rally near you.
ASAs Sick and Tired Campaign will bring new accountability to Obamas administration.
Please help ASA hold Obama to his word and protect patients across the nation.
We are sick and tired, but we wont give up until theres safe access.
Sincerely,
Steph Sherer
