SAC PROTEST AGAINST POT RAIDS TUE NOON FED BLDG

by Peter Gabriel Keyes
Advocates for medicinal cannabis will protest the recent Californa DEA medical marijuana raids at the Sacramento Federal Building at noon on tuesday, January 23rd, 5th & I.
Medical Marijuana of America is sponsoring a pro-medicinal cannabis rally at noon on Tuesday, January 23rd, at the Sacramento Federal Building, 501 I street, in Downtown Sacramento.

The demonstration is in response to 11 raids that DEA conducted on medicinal cannabis collectives in the L.A. area on Wednesday, January 17th. According to reports, 27 people were taken into custody, but no charges have been filed. Thousands of pounds of medicinal cannabis got seized, as well as cash and patient records.

In separate actions, DEA raided the Washington State homes of Steve Sarich and John Worthington, both high-profile area advocates. Sarich speculates that he was targeted for his patient records, as his state does not keep records of medicinal cannabis patients.

3 homes of alleged cannabis growers were also raided in the San Francisco Bay Area on Wednesday.

Please join Medical Marijuana of America in saying NO to DEA raids on patient groups on Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007, at the Sacramento Federal Building from noon until 1:00.

Why would you have a caregiver and grow 1500 plants?.
Why would the dea find out you had a cargiver,and not arrest you for growing 1500 plants?
Why would you keep medical records where you grow 1500 plants?
Seems fishy to me/
In fact I called steve sarich a federal round up in waiting in may 2006.
By january 2007 the feds rounded us up.
Ya think...
Steve represents the feds as a fake medical marijuana group that wants p-patches and ID systems.
He is the feds boy for getting legislation for the feds.
Him and doug hiatt.
I called it in may And I still believe it.
what does dork sarich stand for.. P-patches and id systems.. Stay away from steve sarich stay out of another fed roundup
Imagine the look on the feds face when they come to your house hoping to tie you to a dork named steve sarich and find out that you have e-mails saying you think he is rounding patients up ,and you are quitting.
The look was priceless.
Nice try Steve.
