POT ACTIVISTS WORK FOR EMERY'S RETURN

One thing that lifts Jodie Emery's spirits this Christmas is the
outpouring of support her jailed husband has received from marijuana
advocates around the world.

Marc Emery is 10 months into a five-year sentence for selling
marijuana seeds by mail order to customers in the U.S. He was
transferred to a prison in Georgia last month.

"Marc is always very positive," Jodie said.

"He says he does cry every day thinking of me, he just misses me so
much. But when he's not thinking of me and how much he wants to be
home, he's keeping really busy. He gets a lot of mail."

The Emerys recently staged a worldwide fundraising drive through the
website freemarc.ca,which brought in more than $20,000. That money has
gone to lawyers working to repatriate Marc.

Jodie says the Canadian transfer application is under way as is the
U.S. application. The U.S. should have their decision by February.
