LAW DOESN'T COVER CANNABIS
Editor,
When Tom Crosslin's state representative and federal congressional
representatives were elected, they swore defense of the Constitution and
Bill of Rights. Yet, when Tom was being threatened by the state
authorities, and eventually the FBI, where were his representatives?
No matter the law. No law usurps the Constitution. Cannabis, as any other
substance, is outside the federal government's authority. Seizing property
without due process is unconstitutional. Yet not a hand was raised in his
defense by his elected officials. Is this representative government or
cowardice? Is this how the folks of Cass County want to be treated by their
government? You had better open your eyes!
Waco may be in Texas but the FBI can be in your yard whenever they want to.
Are we free, or prisoners of our government?
