B.C. ELECTION: MARC'S SHOES WALK ON NERVES

Dear Editor,

The voters of Fort Langley-Aldergrove ought to seriously consider
sending Marc Emery of the B.C. Marijuana Party to Victoria just to
shake things up.

It seems to me that Marc is probably the first politician B.C.'ers
have ever seen who told them the truth. That's the only tool Marc
could possibly wield while he is willing to walk into hell on his
glorious quest to right the unrightable wrong of drug
prohibition.

It takes a lot of nerve to walk in Marc's shoes. I doubt any of Marc's
opponents will have the kind of passion Marc expresses in his
"Impossible Dream" tenets. Marc is a true leader in every sense of the
word.

"The truth," said Jesus, "shall set you free."

The truth will not make Mark Emery popular or get him elected, but at
least he can have the serenity of a good night's sleep.

Marc told the people of Fort Langley-Aldergrove what they needed to
hear, rather than what he thought they wanted to hear. What a
revolution in politics an attitude like than might start in Victoria
or Ottawa!
