COUNCIL WILL PAY FOR MARIJUANA STANCE

The people before the Yucca Valley Town Council are the lame, the
hopeless, the sick and the injured.

Some are in the last stages of their lives, some just beginning into
that journey of hopelessness and pain.

All of them have absolutely genuine medical reasons for choosing, by
their constitutional right, a homeopathic herbal remedy which we call
cannabis or marijuana.

* We, these people who go before the council meetings and those
unable to be there, chose the council members to represent us and to
protect us.

And now they blatantly betray our trust, incite us in a time we do
not need additional anger and hatred in our lives and community, and
openly guarantee to violate our civil rights by depriving us of our
chosen and legal method of medication.

The council members think they know everything on the issue, yet they
know nothing on the issue.

They seek no outside citizen participation in the process, creating
unparalleled bias.

They openly disseminate misinformation.

They have labeled us who voted for them as social miscreants and outcasts.

They have openly demonstrated the very worst in conservative
government, and, I must speak quite frankly, are the local type and
root of the cause of our current economic and social woes.

They demonstrate open and ignorant prejudice that quite simply can no
longer be tolerated in public officials.

I speak to each of these council members and as a group.

The beginning is over. Let the lawsuits begin against the town. Let
the lawsuits begin against the individuals. Let the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and Department of Justice enforce an indictment against them.

It is time for a recall.
