Signs will be provided. About 100 activists are expected to attend.

Marijuana patients and activists will march and protest against the
Sheriff's decision to stop the issuance of permits for dispenseries
to opperate and provide medicinal marijuana to sick people.

The people are angry that the Sheriff used our tax money to subvert
state and local law. Many patients feel they have been betrayed.

The Sheriff has an ethical and constitutional duty to defend state
law including the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and Senate Bill 420
allowing patients access to medical marijuana. Many patients are
scared and do not understand how the Sheriff could cower down to
federal agents.

Thank you, Doug McAfee
