		<description>The prisoners at Gitmo are not US citizens and are being held by the transparent veil of prisoners of the War On Terror. As for Obama please everyone wake up.  Charisma and personality are never enough to justify false promises he never can deliver. Ok the DEA raids should answer once and for all anyone who thinks the government should run our health care. The Federal government refuses to recognize laws the people of Ca and other states petitioned and voted for in democratic elections. Think they would flexible when it comes to health care ? Medicaid and Medicare are broke thanks to the government&#039;s handling. Wake up people, seriously A-hole Biden is using Obama as his popular face to cover his agenda, especially since he spent millions to keep a seat in De and the other seats they have stolen in the Senate to railroad &quot; change &quot; we will be forced to believe in.</description>

		<description>Where is your sense of humor? Just because you say so doesn&#039;t make it so. Only the Truth will set you free.  The whole Universe knows the truth. I say our Karma isn&#039;t finished. Just forward my web address to people who can make a difference and then it will be. I was on your side when you were locked up, they wanted me to testify against you and I wouldn&#039;t. 

I will make it happen without you, I have for all these years. I just thought you grew a great big giving heart after having the blessings you have had. Guess they have taught you nothing. I feel a black hole. I don&#039;t even want to get sucked down into that darkness. I am all about light and the living....Shame on You Steve! 
 
My Trails are Happy as you can see,

		<description>It continues...

&lt;hr&gt;

From the desk of Bill Redpath:

Dear Paul,

Call it “hypocrisy you can believe in.”

Less than a week after the Obama administration claimed they were ending the Bush policy of raiding state-sanctioned medical marijuana dispensaries, DEA agents Wednesday night burst through the doors of the Emmalyn&#039;s California Cannabis Clinic in San Francisco and seized the prescription cannabis the clinic had a lawful permit to dispense to the ill.

Agents refused to state why the clinic was being raided.  The clinic states they are in full compliance with state and local laws, and it holds a permit from the city of San Francisco.

But apparently Obama, who also said he’ll fight any effort to re-legalize marijuana, doesn’t care about state laws, or the sick and suffering.  He’s more than happy to continue the War on Unapproved Drugs.

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to fight back.

Can you help the Libertarian Party protect the rights of voters who approved medicinal marijuana, and the sick and dying who need it with your best gift of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,500, $2,500 or whatever you feel you can afford today?  Just click here
 
to help fight back.

The Libertarian Party is America’s only hope to elect public servants who will fight to protect state medicinal marijuana laws.  Electing Barack Obama simply guaranteed more of the same.

For all the talk--and talk--and talk--of change, the Obama Adminstration is quickly proving itself to be the same old, same old--but just a lot more of it.  Any hope of real change through the two older political parties is simply magical thinking.  Events continue to prove that the only hope of real change in abjectly failed government policies is through the Libertarian Party.

With your support, we can give pro-medical marijuana candidates the resources, training and support they need to win elections, and then use their authority to stop raids that violate state’s rights and nullify the wishes of voters.

Can you help us build a Libertarian Party that wins elections by rushing me your most generous contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,500, $2,500 or whatever you feel you can afford?  All you have to do is click here
 
.

I’m absolutely outraged that the DEA would break into a lawfully-permitted clinic that dispenses legally-approved medicine to the sick, and especially just days after Obama said they wouldn’t.

The time has come to begin electing Libertarians, not Democrats who carry out anti-voter, anti-states’ rights, anti-freedom Republican policies.  

The Libertarian Party is the only party that is fighting back.  Obama has made it clear he not only supports the War on Medical Marijuana, but he even said in a press conference yesterday he’ll fight any effort to sensibly reform drug laws.

Help us make that happen.  Help me fight for your rights by
 
clicking here
 
to send me your kindest gift of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,500, $2,500, or whatever you feel like you can afford right now.

Thank you for all your kind support, Paul.

In liberty,


William Redpath
Chair, Libertarian National Committee

P.S.  The DEA is continuing to raid lawfully-permitted medical marijuana clinics, just days after Obama claimed they wouldn&#039;t.

Your Libertarian Party staunchly opposes this attack on the rights of voters, patients and all Americans, and we’re leading the fight against it.</description>

Certainly, that could have some impact, if only I was willing to give the Democrats money otherwise, or lie and tell them I would.

		<description>Every single public poll supports safe access to medical cannabis by a wide majority. DEA raids on medical cannabis dispensaries target the ill and disabled; are mean spirited; and do nothing to reduce illicit drug use. The public speaks, but politicians don&#039;t listen. But now I have a solution. Ever since I heard about the January raids I have been answering all fund raising phone calls and mail that I get from the Democratic Party with this response:

&quot;I will not give another cent to the Democratic Party until they support a complete overhaul of our Federal drug policy; stop the Federal persecution of medical cannabis users, providers and caregivers; and remove Cannabis from it present Schedule I classification.&quot; 

When I speak with fundraisers on the phone, I am always polite, but I tell them in no uncertain terms what my position is, and that I will no longer be donating until the party&#039;s policies change, and I ask them to please give this feedback to their supervisors. 

Money talks volumes, and it seems to be a language politicians understand. I am putting that unfortunate reality to work, and hope others do the same.</description>

		<description>&quot;Don’t blame Obama, he can’t enact laws or, for that matter, change them. &quot;

No, but he can direct the activities of the DEA.  It&#039;s his call whether they work on interdiction at the border or rob terminally-ill patients.   

Meet the new boss, same as  the old boss.</description>
