Fairfax pot club needs your support!

"We need help and support this Thursday night in Fairfax. The Planning Commission is considering closing my club down because of the latest injunction. Since I have had an injunction against us for four years previous to this, it does not seem I need to shut down right now.

We need Everyone Possible to come to this meeting! 6/20/02 7:30 pm Fairfax Women's Club 49 Park Road, downtown Fairfax. Take Central San Rafael exit, take "3 rd" street, follow signs to Fairfax. (we need volunteers to hold direction signs on the four corners you have to navigate to get to the meeting.)

The need to insist upon State's Rights and Local Control is in the people's hands on this. I believe the Town Council will support standing up to the Feds but these small minded Commissioners have been really mean , rude and discriminatory. They repeatedly torture me and denigrate my character over my license every six months. Everyone else in Fairfax supports us.

I believe we will prevail in our Appeal in the 9th circuit and will not need to shut the Club through the Federal civil process. Keeping the Club open through our appeal process is a matter of life and death for many of our members. It would be a shame to have my license pulled and the Club closed by petty locals who are not serving the people's will.

The Fairfax Town Council has the final say on this, but a large turnout at the PC meeting will influence the Commission to stand behind the patients and the Club in a show of unity against excessive Federal intervention.

I need even those guys to support us. The Town Attorney has advised the PC that it is not their job to enforce Federal law, their job is to uphold the will of the community. Right now it looks like they actually may vote us closed, but they are impressed by large attendance and that will help change their minds about it. I don't need this kind of stress in the midst of the Federal case but that is how it is. My health is suffering. I am so worried about all my members and so appalled that government, local or federal, would torture the sick and dying like this.

I know this is a last minute SOS but my attorney just advised me to get a crowd of supporters. I am going to send out a brief general press release you will receive on email, but wanted to advise you and ask for your assistance ASAP."

HELP please!

love and pot peace,
