DESCRIPTION:For Immediate Release\n\nJanuary 22, 2007\n\nLOS ANGELES,SAN 
 FRANCISCO\n\nMEDICAL CANNABIS PATIENTS, ADVOCATES MARCH ON CITY HALL - 
 DEMAND END TO\nDEA RAIDS - CALL ON SPEAKER PELOSI TO OPEN CONGRESSIONAL 
 HEARINGS\n\n\nContacts:  Degé Coutee, Education Director - Patient 
 Advocacy Network (Los\nAngeles), 323/334-5282  
 patientadvocates@riseup.net\nShona Gochenaur, Executive Director - Axis of 
 Love San Francisco,\n415/240-5247  axisoflovesf@gmail.com\n\nMedical 
 cannabis patients, care providers and advocates will march on city\nhalls 
 in Los Angeles and San Francisco Monday, January 22nd, 2007 at noon 
 in\nreaction to the recent DEA raids on 11 medical cannabis\ndispensaries 
 last week in West Hollywood, Venice and the San Fernando\nValley.\n\nSan 
 Francisco advocates will meet at noon at the federal building at 450 Golden 
 Gate\nfor a march to San Francisco city hall.\n\n"We stand in solidarity," 
 states Shona Gochenaur, director for the San\nFrancisco-based patient 
 advocacy organization, Axis of Love, "West\nHollywood is our sister city," 
 where five of the raids took place.  Like\nSan Francisco, West Hollywood 
 has medical cannabis regulations, a lowest\nlaw enforcement priority 
 ordinance for adult possession and is an\nestablished sanctuary city for 
 medical cannabis. "If the DEA is going to\ndisregard West Hollywood's 
 regulations and sanctuary status, they'll\nconsider raiding San Francisco 
 as well," adds Shona.\n\n"In addition to seeking answers from our local 
 officials regarding\ncomments made by LAPD Chief Bratton to the media about 
 shutting down\ncollectives in LA, we are also asking our officials to 
 contact Speaker\nNancy Pelosi and ask her to open congressional hearings on 
 medical\ncannabis," states Degé Coutee, director for the Patient Advocacy 
 Network\nin Los Angeles. "Regardless of the support we gain on the local 
 level it\nultimately means nothing to the feds until congress really takes 
 hold of\nthis issue."\n\nPatients and advocates across the United States 
 are being urged to contact\nSpeaker Pelosi and request that congressional 
 hearings be opened on\nmedical cannabis immediately.\n
