Emergency: Medical marijuana at risk

Barack Obama's Department of Justice could crack down on lawful medical marijuana dispensaries as soon as today.
Can you sign our emergency letter to Attorney General Eric Holder asking him to keep President Obama's promise to respect state medical marijuana laws? Click here to add your name.
Soon after President Obama took office, Attorney General Holder ordered US Attorneys to stop enforcing federal marijuana laws in states that have set up their own rules and regulations.
Yet in recent months, those federal prosecutors have stepped up an unprecedented coordinated campaign targeting medical marijuana states with threats to state governments and violent raids on lawful medical marijuana operations.
Now Holder is set to "clarify" his previous policies for federal prosecutors around medical marijuana. It's critical that Holder only reiterate his previous instructions to not interfere with patients and caregivers who comply with state laws.
We may only have hours before Holder issues a new policy. Please sign our urgent petition telling Attorney General Holder to honor his 2009 memo and end federal prosecutions of medical marijuana patients and dispensaries.
http://action.firedoglake.com/page/s/holder_states
Holder's out of control federal prosecutors have already done severe damage in two states with medical marijuana laws.
After numerous federal attorneys issued nearly identical letters to medical marijuana states threatening to prosecute public employees who implement marijuana laws, those states pulled back on marijuana reforms. The Governor of Washington vetoed a bill to allow medical marijuana dispensaries, and the Governor of New Jersey is refusing to implement the state's medical marijuana laws due to the possibility that state employees will face prosecution by the federal government.
State medical marijuana laws are the products of democracy. Tactics like these are beginning to have a chilling effect on marijuana reform.
Join us in urging Attorney General Holder to honor his 2009 directive and reign in the rogue US attorneys to respect state laws.
Add your name to our emergency petition demanding that states be allowed to make their own decisions about medical marijuana.
It's our hope that Holder will restate his 2009 memo with clarity and a strong commitment to the patients who depend on medical marijuana to make it through each day. Thank you for adding your name to our calls for Holder to break his silence on medical marijuana.
We'll let you know what happens with Holder's coming announcement, and what we need to do to protect patients across the country.
Thanks for all you do,

Barack Obama is a faggot.
He ran for president on a liberal platform, but from what I've seen, we might as well of put McCain into office, at least he'd be dead by now and Sarah Palin would be in charge, I'd take her out fishing with me, bitches love fishing.

See, that term pedo gets thrown around a lot.
Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

I endorse Ron Paul 100%
There is no talking point I can't refute about the man, and all his ideals are on solid ground.
He is a rarity in DC, someone who votes consistently with what they claim to represent.

Bring back Jimmy Carter!!! Wasn't it Jimmy who said "The penalties for a drug offense should be no more harmful to the user than the drug itself" Amen.
