WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK

HINCHEY MEDICAL MARIJUANA AMENDMENT 2007

On June 6, 2005, the US Supreme Court, unfortunately, upheld the
power of the federal government to ban medical marijuana. This month
(probably next week, mid-July, 2007), Congress will vote on an
amendment that if passed would give patients the protection the court
has denied. There might not be another Congressional vote on medical
marijuana until next year, so your emails and phone calls are
critically needed right now.

VIRGINIA RESNER 1946-2007

It is with deep sorrow that I inform you that our dear friend and
colleague, Virginia Resner, passed away July 18th. We are calling it
her "liberation" day as she is now released from her body and the
suffering from her 5 1/2 year battle with breast cancer.

Her energy, her compassion, her efforts, and her selfless and loving
friendship will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Please light a
candle, burn some sage, and pray for peace (which is what she wanted
above all) in her honor.

More details to come regarding Virginia's life and plans for memorial services.

We are truly blessed to have known her and to have had her in our lives.
