CROSSLIN WAS A VICTIM OF BAN ON PLANT

How did a peaceful campground owner become public enemy number one? No
matter how you paint it, marijuana prohibition killed Tom Crosslin, the
owner of the Rainbow Farm in Michigan, shot to death by the FBI after a
four-day standoff for standing up for his rights.

A hard worker who built a good life for himself and others through his
farm, a generous supporter of the community he lived in, Crosslin found
himself facing the loss of his home, life's work and freedom all because of
a plant. In the end he paid the ultimate price. Another peaceful American
is dead because of this senseless fraud, and undoubtedly he will not be the
last.

On Labor Day it was Tom Crosslin. Tomorrow it could be you or your
neighbor. Who will lead us out of this bloody mess?
