You are needed to help save your party's face. If your party's administration gets its way, they plan on banning some hemp products. I presently exercise my freedom by purchasing these hemp products, like hemp oil which is full of healthy fats needed in my diet, and my delicious hemp ice cream. How stupid and irrational is the Bush administration to think that I might get high by smoking my hemp ice cream? The Republican Party is always crying about their right to carry a gun, a right guaranteed by the Constitution, which, I might add, was written on hemp that might have come from the plantation of the famous hemp grower, George Washington. Stop your party from looking hypocritical and irrational. Call or e-mail your party to tell them to stop denying our freedoms. Jeff Blustein, Denver - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
