ASHCROFT'S CRUSADES BLIND

Fundamentalist Attorney General John Ashcroft marches on from ordering a 
raid on a medical-marijuana hospice in Santa Cruz to targeting Oregon 
doctors who work with terminally ill patients in assisted suicide.

Medicinal marijuana is legal in California and assisted suicide is legal in 
Oregon, but they don't meet the attorney general's scriptural criteria. 
Ashcroft has decided these statutes are not correct and is spearheading a 
conspiracy against them.

Damn the people and voters who passed the laws. Medical Marijuana - Prop. 
215 - and Death with Dignity mean nothing to this one man, America's top 
cop. He's on a crusade to stamp his beliefs on everyone.
