BIBLICALLY DISCREDITED CANNABIS PROHIBITIONISTS MUST BE CONTROLLED LIKE THE 
PLAGUE

Editor:

As a cannabis activist, obedient Christian and Democrat, I want to appeal 
to Doug Malkan and The Summit County Green Party to join in supporting 
Democratic Presidential nominee Dennis Kucinich. That support requires 
registering at the old courthouse on Lincoln and Ridge Streets by the end 
of this week and further, it means registering as a Democrat to be able to 
vote in the April 13 Democratic Caucus election.

Kucinich's plantform [sic] includes decriminalizing cannabis and regulating 
it like alcohol. This is more relevant today in light of the Friday Feb. 6, 
2004, 9th Federal Circuit Court ruling, (finally) rejecting the DEA's 
attempt to outlaw hemp food products.

If Kucinich's plantform allows citizens to grow a few cannabis plants with 
THC, then it stands to reason American farmers may grow hemp without THC. 
It is time to reintroduce hemp as a component of American agriculture. This 
issue is important when we consider that cannabis prohibition is the 
Biblical root of many problems facing Earth today. Biblically discredited 
cannabis prohibitionists must be controlled like the plague and Kucinich is 
the true grassroots effort to do just that.

Kucinich will put the U.N. in and get the U.S. out of Iraq in 90 days 
instead of two to three years, which is the best alternative plan if 
Kucinich is not elected. His platform includes creating a cabinet level 
Department of Peace to help prevent another Iraq situation in the future.

Kucinich's platform includes taking 15 percent of the Pentagon budget and 
putting it toward education, including college, and national health care 
for all Americans.

Currently we have an un-elected beast sitting in the President's seat and 
at the opposite end of the spectrum, we have Dennis Kucinich.

Please consider Kucinich a Green in Democrat's clothing and endorse this 
candidate.
