CAN WE TRUST LUNGREN TO IMPLEMENT LAW?

Editor -- To the great people of the state of California, is Dan Lungren
really the person you would like to have as governor, a person who as
attorney general will not honor laws that we as voters passed back in
November '96? How can we trust him to honor laws that are passed in other
elections that we as a whole vote on?

This is all about Prop. 215, the measure that gave the sick relief from
their sickness, a way of maybe adding some to their life, while letting
others lead a more active life. Put yourself in the shoes of others first
before you cast your vote for Lungren in November. Remember that if you or
someone that you know and love come down with a illness that cannot be
cured and the only way that you or someone that you love can get any relief
is from marijuana, you have just become a criminal and a nuisance to Dan
Lungren by his own words to the press back in May.

Is this a person that we as a whole would like to have as our governor, a
man that will tell you what you can do with your own life, even if it means
that you may die without access to the only thing that seems to help
relieve the symptoms brought on from AIDS, glaucoma, hepatitis C?

So in November, please think and do some soul-searching to see if this is
really the man we want to have making these types of decisions for us, I
know that I don't. Let the politician that we elect to office know that we
would like the laws we all voted on to be upheld and implemented into our
society.
