Urge your Congressman to Co-Sponsor H.R. 4272, The Steve McWilliams Truth in Trials Act

how can the federal government bust only some people for mary jane when they allow it to be given in hospitals across the country? the pdr even lists it! why not allow the states to dispense?

The COMPASSIONATE USE ACT 1996 is a State law MANDATED by the voters of the State of California.

The California's State Constitution, Article 3, Section 3.5, FORBIDS state administrators, legislaturers, or law enforcement to REFUSE to apply our State Compassionate Law by using "fedeall law" as reason for nooto aapplyiinngg sttatee llaw blanketed over the entire State.

Peter McWilliams pled guillty out of fear and coersion.

I profess, had Mr. McWilliams encouraged to fight it out, there would have been no jury instruction that would have convicted him, despite the instruction, his mere presense would have nullified the jury from a guilty verdict.

Instead, the 'powers that be' against us won by McWilliams'' giving the federal government the 'jurisdiction' over his consuming medication approved by his physician.

The Court...not Mr. McWilliams failed to abide by the Constitution of the U.S.A. and the California State Constitution Article 3, section 3.5.

Those State and Federal entities' are not challenging each other. The Federal government or the DEA has NOT challenged the constitutionality of the Compassionate Use Act 1996, and vice a verse.

The CONSTITUTIONALITY of either, whether of the Compassion or whether opposed to the Compassion has NOT been challenged and needs to be.

Someone should make the DEA show cause how it is WE as a "protected class of people" (seriously ill), SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUDED proving we are sick, proving that what we say helps us, helps us, and that's that!

How dare anyone, any entity, any organization, any club, or any so-called government, can take the position of a PHYSICIAN or take the position of a CAREGIVER???

Certainly these entities cannot take the position of a QUALIFIED PATIENT, CAREGIVER nor PHYSICIAN in respect to the Compassionate Use Act 1996.

The ESSTOPPLE or the BAR to hold back the FEDS is already in the LAW....the solution to that is to NEVER PLEAD GUILTY TO WHAT YOU ARE NOT GUILTY OF.

GUILT is a sudden death....Pleading Guilty will not get our day in Court.......at the same time, WE are NOT asking to be arrested, our property seized, and brought to trial JUST to prove the LAW is the LAW!! HOW ABSURD!!

As long as we have legislaturers attempting to "amend" what is already set in place....i.e. our COMPASSIONATE USE ACT 1996, there will be attempts to create nullities and infractions against sick people and those who care for them, so that it thwarts the collective endeavors we are all making in the strides towards complete application of the Compassionate Use Act 1996 over the entire State of California in all the Cities including the City of Los Angeles.

Americans' For Safe Access, NORML, MPP, any lobby organization and/or all the legislaturers together cannot outweigh the magnatude of applying the Compassionate Use Act 1996 in federal court..........it has already been JUDICIALLY DECIDED (res judicata) that FREEDOM OF SPEECH is and will stand even in Federal Court.

ANYONE WITH the courage, once they are faced with the challenge from the feds, must be prepared to give them real deal.

The word is, "BAK DAT ASS UP, off our people and get a REAL JOB protecting and defending qualified patients, caregivers and the physicians who dare to give that much care.

DO NOT PLEAD GUILTY and........DO NOT ALLOW JURISDICTIION OVER YOUR LIFE AND WORK, BUT YOUR OWN CREATOR'S JURISDICTION.......NO MATTER WHAT!!

Choose to die no-victim

It's important that we write letters, make phone calls, and send faxes to the committe and to all the representatives in congress, whether they represent your state or not.

The Committee on Energy and Commerce
2125 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
(202) 225-2927
The Committee does not have a public fax number.

Go back and re-read the article to find your representative. The last bill our side had in the House didn't even make it to the floor to get voted on. It died in committee because we failed to stir up enough co-sponsors for it.

We need to be asking our representatives to CO-SPONSOR HR 4272. Those are the key words. When they agree to co-sponsor, they are agreeing to vote and speak in favor of our bill when it gets to the floor for debate. But it first has to stir up enough interest in committee to get to the floor in the first place. We stir by contacting our representatives and asking them to help get that bill moved out of committee, and for them to become co-sponsors of it. We also stir by contacting the committee members directly- each one of them- all of us.

Every letter they receive is counted as the voice of 10 people, so make those voices heard, please! ASA's last worthy bill, the bill to prevent the feds from prosecuting medical patients who were using legally where they lived, died in committee before reaching the floor for debate. That was a good bill that would have made an excellent, life-saving law for many suffering people. Let's not let them down again. Please send out a different letter each week.

A bill that gives patients the right to approach the Court as a patient and that gives the patient the right to mount a neccessity defense is needed and should be supported ;however, this would not protect the patient against a certain federal drug act that could cause them to loose federal entitlements should they admit to use while under oath.Language protecting patient entitlements is vital to any other legislation that intends to protect medpot patients. The Farr Bill does not do this. Leland Cole "Grand Spook of Lower Bohemia" William S Burroughs" 1989
