>Good Day,

>I went to visit Joe on Friday morning. I was astonished to see the
>condition this man is in, actually I am pissed off to be quite frank
>about it. The first thing you will notice as Joe enters the visiting
>area, is how skinny he has gotten. You will then notice the many
>sores on his person as well as what must be absolutely painful, his
>skin is begining to peal away. He appeared to be holding back the
>tears from the pain throughout our visit.
>
>First Joe want's to thank all of you who have been supportive to
>him. He says it really helps so much. Joe asked me to relaya message
>to everyone:
>
> "There are more than a hundred people in the Fresno Jail for
>marijuana, be it mmj or social users. I don't feel that law
>enforcement has a personal vendeta against me personally, they are
>trying to erradicate everyone and anyone who uses marijuana. The
>real battle is between the State and the Feds, people like us are
>just trapped in the middle.The doctors in here are refusing to see
>me now. They will not give me any medicine in here. I asked for a
>simple pulsar set up, which is simular to a "tens" unit, only it
>does not penetrate the body as much; its easier to take. These
>people all most have me ready to renounce God, just to get out of
>here, but I won't do it. What theyre doing is just not right. If I
>don't start eating some real food, my immune system is going to fail
>within the next six months. I don't know if they will ever let me
>out of here. When I began all this, I was all by myself, know seven
>years later they have an card system in Bakersfield; it takes
>time. Nick, I don't know how much time I have left in here. Let
>people know that our Constitution is being stollen away from us. It
>takes people to stand up and breath some life back into our
>Constitution. Tell them."
>
> I am getting tearyeyed just writing this update, excuse me. It just
>unspeakable the conditions these POW are enduring for this cause.
>
>Joe has a tentative court date set for March 20th, at 9:30am. For
>visiting info, you can call 1-559-488-3031, and court info
>1-559-488-3388. Joe is being housed at:
