CHRISTIE NOT A DANGER

I am writing to you in support of Roger Christie and the
decriminalization of cannabis/marijuana. Roger was arrested by
federal agents on July 9 for growing, processing and distributing
marijuana, and is now being held in custody without bail.

U.S. District Judge Alan Kay said that Roger is "a danger to
society." Federal authorities seem to think that they have made a
major dent in the Big Island's marijuana trade. U.S. Attorney
Florence Nakakuni thinks the case has far-reaching impact. Robin
Dinlocker, assistant special agent in charge of the DEA, said "the
availability of marijuana statewide could take a significant hit as a
result of the indictments."

Roger is a peaceful man, and I have known him for over 20 years. A
vast majority of residents and taxpayers of the Big Island believe
that marijuana should be legal. They have voted so here on the Big
Island in 2008, and I believe others would do the same statewide if
given the opportunity.

These pubic servants seem to be stuck in the last century. Just this
year at the state Democratic Party convention, the delegates
overwhelmingly passed resolutions ... which call for legalizing
marijuana for personal use by people over 21 years and facilitating
distribution of cannabis to medical patients.

I ask: Who are these public servants really serving? We, the people,
ask that federal authorities, whose salaries we pay, free Roger
Christie and legalize the use of cannabis/marijuana.
