OPPOSE MARIJUANA

Montana is at an important juncture of time. Right now, our state can
choose to follow the federal law or risk corruption of our state at
the highest levels.

Please contact our governor and your senator and tell them that you do
not want the state of Montana to become the new drug dealer in town.
Ask them to follow the federal law, and avoid the corruption that
always attends drugs and money.

Tell them we now know marijuana was a fraud from day one. We now know
this drug actually suppresses the immune system and causes increased
susceptibility to cancers and infections (European Journal of
Immunology Dr. Nagarkatti).

Ask them to protect public safety by following established paths for
drug distribution in our country.

We Montanans support a repeal of medical marijuana, not regulation; we
reject the culture of corruption. We ask our leaders to follow the
law. Repeal Bill House Bill 161 is the only real answer available to
us that keeps it plain and simple and does not create an environment
of federally illegal activities.

Call Brian Schweitzer at (406) 444-3111. Write him a letter, or send
him a fax 444-5529. Now is the time for us to take a stand and choose.
Now is the time for Schweitzer to lead us and send a clear message to
our youth about drug abuse. The clock is ticking.
