ANOTHER CASUALTY OF THE DRUG WAR
Editor,
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, murdered 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?
