C-Span TV: Marijuana Legalization and California Ballot Initiative Prop.
19 To Be Debated and Discussed This Saturday; NORML Director Allen St.
Pierre vs. Former DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson

October 8, 2010

Dear NORML Members and Supporters:

I’ve been invited back to C-Span to debate and discuss the topics of
cannabis legalization, and specifically California’s upcoming vote on
Prop. 19, a measure that if approved by the voters will effectively
legalize cannabis in America’s most important state politically and
economically.

Former Drug Enforcement Administration chief and Republican congressman
from Arkansas Asa Hutchinson has stepped up to argue in favor of the
status quo and continuing into a ninth decade of Cannabis Prohibition.

The live interview is scheduled to broadcast Saturday morning (10/9/10) on
C-Span TV, 9:15am – 10:00am (eastern…sorry west coasters!). Like most
C-Span shows, the public is invited to ask questions or make short
commentary.

To watch online, go to: http://www.c-span.org/Watch/C-SPAN.aspx

This C-Span interview is likely the result of the Wall Street Journal
publishing an unprecedented jointly signed letter earlier this week by
every previous DEA administrator predictably calling for the Obama
administration to actively oppose politically viable cannabis legalization
voter initiatives in places like California (just the way they did).

Is the body politic (and the mainstream media that has so aptly aided and
abetted these technocrats' blatant disregard for democracy, science,
compassion and common sense) really, really nervous about the cataclysmic
blow that California voters are about to level on a self-evidently failed
federal government public policy—another ‘war’ lost by government?

What do you think?

See you on the TV and kind regards,

-Allen St. Pierre
Executive Director
NORML
Washington, D.C.

1. I am beginning to wonder about all of the foreign money coming in to this election campaign

if the Mexican drug cartels are moving into American politics like they have successfully done in Mexico.

2. It would be bad for them if 19 were to pass.

But the plain fact is, there's not much drug cartal money in Cali where cannabis is concerned.

3. Arizona's Prop 203 is to legalize medical marijuana.

4. I know, I'm a member.

Everyone that believes in the cause should be if they can.

5. I got my absentee ballot today. Have studied the phamplet and have already made my choices.

Hope my Congressman, Grijalva, will be re-elected. He is one of the best in the nation, but my area is full of teabaggers and Raul went overboard and made a statement to boycott Arizona. One that he,now,dearly regrets making.

I hope it doesn't do him in!!!
