An open letter to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger:

September 27, 2007

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger

Once again, the Federal Government has decided to flex its muscles and show its disdain for the voters of the State of California.

Yesterday, in Sacramento, under the shadow of our State Capitol's dome, Federal Drug Enforcement Agency stormtroopers with their black masks and machine guns inflicted their violent will against the very people that the compassionate voters of the State of California voted to help with the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.

Isnt it strange that the supposed "good guys" are the ones with the masks and the guns, and the "bad guys" are the ones in wheelchairs and hospital beds. Doesnt that appear wrong to you?

I realize that this is a complex legal issue, with States Rights being at it's very core.

I feel that it is time for you to stand up, and represent the overwhelming majority of voters of California and LEAD the fight to establish our States Rights to make appropriate laws to govern our population safely and in accordance with known science and the compassionate views of our voters. For you to do anything less seems to be tacit agreement that we DONT have a right to govern ourselves.

You were swept into the office with a hope that you would provide strong leadership, and that you would NOT be a typical "political hack" who was beholden to the corporate masters.

This seems to be a wonderful chance to reaffirm those hopes.

Please Governor Schwarzenegger, STAND UP FOR CALIFORNIA! Support California voters. Support Safe Access to medical marijuana for patients in California under the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, and Senate Bill 420.
