STATE RESIDENTS JOIN MARIJUANA PROTEST

WASHINGTON (AP) Demonstrators from Wisconsin were among those helping block
the door of a congressman's office in response to his efforts to overturn a
District of Columbia referendum that would authorize medical use of marijuana.

Protesters included Jacki Rickert of Mondovi and Gary Storck of Madison,
who were identified as medicinal users of marijuana.

Rickert and Storck accompanied Cheryl Miller of New Jersey, who was lifted
from her wheelchair Thursday by her husband and placed on a sleeping bag in
the doorway in the office of Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga.
