SEEDS OR SOLDIERS?

Editor;

This is truly an unjust world when you can go to prison for life, for 
sending seeds to another country; but if you send troops, you get a 
Noble Peace Prize.

Do we really need a foreign government stepping in and disciplining 
one of our citizens, for something as trivial as selling seeds on the internet?

As a nation, we should be ashamed of the way we have treated Marc Emery.

The man has paid his taxes, given to charity and helped untold 
thousands of medical marijuana users. It disgusts me the lack of 
attention the media is giving this issue.

The U.S. is trying to take one of our citizens! He broke no Canadian laws!

Marc Emery is facing a life sentence in a U.S. facility, hopefully 
not Guantanamo Bay.

Honestly, has handing people over to foreign powers really been 
working for us lately?

Please take the time to contact the Justice Minister of Canada, Rob 
Nicholson at '  ' and Prime Minister Harper at '  ' and let them know it is wrong to allow the U.S. 
to extradite Marc Emery.

We must stop this extradition! Who's next?
