CONGRESS TRIES TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM THE TRUTH

To the editor Our Congress is about to vote on a resolution to deny states
and the people the right to pass and implement laws governing the use of
medical marijuana (H. Res. 372).

Congress is relying on that intellectually vacuous rhetoric of: "It sends
the wrong message to the children." It is difficult to fathom how denying
sick people medicine and putting them in jail is the 'right' message. It is
even more preposterous when their 'right' message says that we should judge
a person on the content of their urine rather than on the content of their
character.

It is obvious that the posturing mountebanks on Capitol Hill are only
interested in protecting our children from that danger called the truth.

Please write or call your representative and urge them to vote no on H.
Res. 372. Let them know that Proposition 215 is the law in California, and
any negative action they take on this matter is in direct violation of the
10th Amendment.
