AMERICAN OPPOSES EMERY EXTRADITION

To the Editor,

I am an American who is firmly opposed to the extradition of Marc 
Scott Emery. If extradited he faces life imprisonment.

Emery, head of the B.C. Marijuana Party and publisher of Cannabis 
Culture, ran a legitimate business in Canada.

This business, Marc Emery Seeds, was taxed by the Canadian government 
for a decade. Now American drug warriors want him in a U.S. prison 
for breaking American laws in Canada.

America is blatantly disrespecting Canadian sovereignty. Please, even 
if you have no sympathy for his cause, stop the extradition.

If America is allowed to do this, what kind of ugly precedent will be 
set? Stand up for your country's rights.
