MISSION-STYLE 'INVASIONS' OF FOLK'S HOMES MUST STOP

I own my own home here in Mission. I am not a user, grower or have 
anything to do with the drug industry.

I am really concerned and upset at the District of Mission invading 
our homes looking for marijuana and treating us like idiots.

My parents brought us up telling us stories about right and wrong. I 
was taught about wars that were fought to protect us from bad people 
who were trying to take over and take our rights and freedoms away. I 
was told of family members who actually gave their lives in the fight 
for the way of life we enjoy today.

I am too young to have actually been witness to the wars, but I do 
remember seeing the posters that remained after the war of storm 
troopers and the significance of the storm-trooper boots kicking in 
doors and kicking people's heads.

With the images we are seeing on the news lately, I am starting to 
see some concerning issues. Using inspection bylaws to enter people's 
homes without just cause?

I want them to stop this and stop it now. All of it!
