Location: 150 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94105 (Between Spear St and Main St - 1 block west of Embarcadero) Kubby book signing and presidential fundraiser / Music / Film / Mellow Mood Food / 420 Room / Tea This coming Sat from 5pm to 1am join us with friends to show your support for truth and freedom, meet Steve Kubby and enjoy a festival of music, art, video and libations. Come experience a new found positive vision of an intelligent future. Regardless of political stance, you are welcome to bring your ideas, inquisitive natures, creativity and style, not necessarily to support in an individual alone, but to support a voice for public awareness and practical reform. Leiber Tea points to Steve Kubby as a man who offers a channel to this communication and re-education holding a strong stance for real truth and freedom. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin In a system and society where categories and labels are necessary to market and facilitate public understanding, "radical" truths are often met with fear, ignorance and then refusal to the detriment of the global masses. We invite you to bypass all stereotypes of art, science and politics to see through to a new vision of freedom that has already made its mark. Fearless and willing to enact policy and effect change against the odds, Steve Kubby, already has proven himself a survivor and a hero to freedom. With a vast population of supporters, and growing, he is a living icon who takes it much further. Your help will allow his voice to give back freedom and let it grow. "What I believe, of course, is less important than what YOU believe. I invite -- indeed, I implore -- you to take a close look at all of the candidates seeking your support. Examine our positions. Look at our records. Listen to our debates. Make your decision, and then ACT on that decision by getting involved. Stand for selection as a delegate to the national convention in support of the candidate you prefer. Write a check to the campaign you support. Talk to your friends and get them involved, too." - Steve Kubby, Presidential Candidate 2008 - http://www.kubby2008.com/ History: Steve Kubby is the only 2008 presidential candidate who's played a key role in passing pro-freedom legislation, then gone to court -- and to jail -- defending that legislation. Since the passage of Proposition 215 in 1996, twelve states have adopted "compassionate use" laws to protect patients whose ailments require them to use medical marijuana. "Steve Wynn Kubby (born December 28, 1946) is a Libertarian Party activist who played a key role in the drafting and passage of California Proposition 215. The proposition was a ballot initiative to legalize medical marijuana which was approved by voters in 1996. Kubby himself is well-known as a cancer patient who relies on medical cannabis. He was a candidate for Governor of California in 1998 and has declared his candidacy for the Libertarian Party's 2008 presidential nomination." -- Wikipedia As a founder and director of the American Medical Marijuana Association, Steve Kubby has continued to fight for Americans' right to protect their health without facing political persecution. In that role, he has negotiated with federal regulators, including the Attorney General of the United States, on behalf of patient rights. Like some other former, current or likely presidential candidates, Steve Kubby is a cancer patient. As a matter of fact, he is the longest-surviving known victim of malignant phenochromocytoma, a rare form of adrenal cancer with a 100% fatality rate within five years. Steve has lived with malignant phenochromocytoma for more than 30 years, and his condition remains under control ... thanks to medical marijuana. Since his first cancer diagnosis in 1968, Steve has led a National Geographic expedition up Mt. Shasta, flown jet fighter aircraft at the US Navy's "Top Gun" school, skied most of the world's most prominent slopes, conducted exploratory scuba dives in Aruba, Bonaire and the British Virgin Islands, published the number one ski magazine in seven countries, and built a successful property management company, Steve is the author of The Politics of Consciousness (1995) and, with Ed Rosenthal, Why Marijuana Should Be Legal (1996). "Freedom is never free." - http://www.kubby2008.com/ Presidential Candidate Steve Kubby supporting SPG: http://youtube.com/ watch?v=qjuRUrFyUyY Famous Freedom Quotes: "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin "The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object." - Thomas Jefferson "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." - James Madison "He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself." - Thomas Paine "It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions makes it impossible to earn a living." - Bertrand Russell "Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul." - Mark Twain "For what avail the plough or sail, Or land or life, if freedom fail?" - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it." - Abraham Lincoln "No man is free who cannot command himself; liberty exists in proportion to wholesome restraint." - Daniel Webster "How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free Down to its root, and in that freedom bold." - William Wordsworth "Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty." - Samuel Adams "No man is free who is not master of himself." - Epictetus "Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered." - Marcus Tullius Cicero I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind. - Antoine De Saint-Exupery History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. - Dwight D. Eisenhower "Where the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science." - Albert Einstein |
