RAMPAGE OF LIES

I'm disgusted at the federal government's abuse of our tax dollars by
sending the Office of National Drug Control Policy's deputy drug czar,
Scott Burns, on a rampage of lies through our state.

Sent here as a result of the voter initiative brought about by the citizens of
Montana concerning the protection of users of medical marijuana from
federal agents, Mr. Burns made three stops in Montana during which he
demonized those citizens by stating, "This is a con" and " it's
about the children."

Well, it is about the children, and they have
nothing to fear from a state that is compassionate for it's own
suffering people.

Mr. Burns also stated "smoking this weed is not a medicine."

Well, I trust the American Nurses Association and
countless other reputable sources far more than Mr. Scott Burns.

How does Mr. Burns respond to Teresa Michalski whose son, Travis, died
last year due to Hodgkin's. When prescription medicines didn't help
his nausea, his pain, or his appetite loss, medical marijuana did.

I-148 is trying to protect the sick and dying from being caught up in
our failed "war on drugs." I don't pay my tax dollars to be told how I
should feel.
