MARC EMERY CASE A TRAVESTY

This is truly an unjust world when you can go to prison  for life, for
sending seeds to another country, but if  you send troops, you get a
Nobel Peace Prize.

Do we really need a foreign government stepping in and  disciplining
one of our citizens, for something as  trivial as selling seeds on the
Internet?

As a nation we should be ashamed of the way we have  treated Marc
Emery.

The man has paid his taxes, given to charity and helped  untold
thousands of medical marijuana users.

It disgusts me the lack of attention the media is  giving this issue.
The U.S. is trying to take one of  our citizens. He broke no Canadian
laws!

Emery is facing a life sentence in a U.S. facility.  Honestly, has
handing people over to foreign powers  really been working for us lately?

Please take the time to contact the justice minister of  Canada, Rob
Nicholson, at  and Prime  Minister Stephen Harper  and let  then know it is wrong to extradite Emery to
the U.S.

We must stop this extradition. Who's next?
