PEOPLE CAN DEMAND CHANGE

In the last election I unsuccessfully ran for Chico City Council. I am
now glad I wasn't elected, for if I had been I would probably be
either in jail or in prison, as I am a Proposition 215 patient and I,
unlike our City Council members, wouldn't have knuckled under to
federal pressure, and I would have continued to represent others like
myself who have a medical need to use marijuana.

I am proud to be a Californian and American but I don't like what our
state and federal government have, are and will be doing.

We are no longer "the land of the free." Our "by the people, for the
people" was killed by elected representatives who don't "represent"
unless you're their family or rich friends.

The U.S. is going the way of the Roman Empire. A country can dictate
and control its citizenry only for so long and then there come social
upheavals.
