EMERY ARREST SHOCKS AMERICAN'S CONSCIENCE

To the editor:

Re: "No apologies from DEA," Aug. 7.

As an American citizen I urge Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler to deny
my country's outrageous attempts to extradite Marc Emery.

The prospect that Mr. Emery could be jailed for life in America for selling
cannabis seeds truly shocks the conscience.

Please take a stand against this politically motivated persecution and
attempted incursion on Canadian sovereignty. Uncle Sam needs to be stopped
before becoming Big Brother.
