Liberate HAITI now. Free the children. F the politics, this is about being human. Are we? Not
with whats going on with the restaveks. The top five arms dealers in the world pose as the UN Security Council, who
find the money and troops to invade and pillage countries where there are natural resources to exploit, just don't give
a damn about actual humanity. See the SLAVERY tab under the Wage
Peace tab (its located under Vets Corner for a reason, you all
paid the price, for what again....) get the facts. Can we really call ourselves a Christian Nation? Wake up.
What stands out when you look at this map? I don't know, maybe its the fact that a big hunk of the Island formerly
known as Hispaniola, is actually controlled by the United States. With slavery on the other part, Americans, and Europeans,
stand by and watch while children are in slavery. This is not just a private charity type issue, its government to government.
Officially blessed enslavement of human beings. Your government is answerable for this, but do you care? Sure, you can
send in money to the Restavek foundation, as they are on point, but where are our so called leaders, here in the "free
world", on this? NOWHERE. Punks who shill for big oil and big pharma. I want to puke. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The
doctor's union, otherwise known as the American Medical Association, smells money! After
all the victims (read patients) they've complacently ignored these
many years, this fairly tame yet important proclamation from the above-the-fray-holier-than-thou-medicos: KTLA: AMA
Calls For Medical Pot Review, Marie Mortera Reports via video http://www.ktla.com/videobeta/watch/?watch=3a716d2a-25c7-471c-b332-772a6... * editors note: this could not have come on a better day of the year, however, with so many veteran's
coming back maimed, we know the pills the doctor's push will not suffice, nor will they be always welcomed, by the brave
men and women who've given all they have for freedom! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2009-09-21 Dear All,
Last week, Ed Rosenthal and I met with Eugene Davidovich
and our Board appointed Eugene Director of Veteran Affairs for AMMA. We're just waiting for Eugene to get us a photo
of him in uniform before we make a public announcement.
We believe that Eugene is uniquely qualified as a veteran
and the San Diego is actually the ideal arena in which to mount a massive offensive.
Eugene served during wartime,
which means he can legally wear his uniform while on trial. Furthermore, Eugene has a compelling story of the stress
he faced during his two deployments in the Gulf. Like the time that the lives of 360 of his shipmates depended upon
his actions as he aimed his twin barrel 50 cal guns on an approaching boat, suspected of attempting a USS Cole style suicide
bombing.
Eugene's case is also compelling because he was attempting to follow the law, when he was busted by a
narc who had lied to obtain a medical recommendation. At the end of the day, Eugene is a vet who is attempting to help
other vets, nearly all of whom suffer from post traumatic stress disorder and who are being largely ignored by the VA.
Is there anyone on this list who believes a judge in a Navy town like San Diego is going to sentence a Navy Vet wearing
a uniform? Oliver North was busted with drugs AND guns, but he put on his uniform and now he has his own TV show. The
image of North taking the oath in uniform was one of the most frequently published photos of the Iran-Contra Affair.
In addition, we've been working with another organization to file a complaint with the Grand Jury. AMMA did this in
Orange County several years ago and every department in OC was contacted by the Grand Jury and asked to explain what actions
they have taken to uphold the Compassionate Use Act. We believe that this complaint, filed by AMMA and 215 co-author
Anna Boyce was effective in breaking OC away from the San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside anti-215 block.
On behalf
of the AMMA Staff, we look forward to working together to engage and defeat our opponents in San Diego. AMMA is also holding
a fundraiser / party / medicine cup this Friday in San Francisco to help raise funds for Eugene's work with vets.

| VA CLARIFIES
MEDICAL MARIJUANA POLICY Vets with medical marijuana
prescription who test positive will not be removed from pain management programs. by Larry Scott, VA Watchdog dot Org Last week we brought you an article about
medical marijuana on VA property.The VA cops
stated that even if a veteran has a prescription for medical marijuana, it is not allowed on VA property because it violates
federal law ... regardless of state law. Now the VA has
clarified that. "However, it is
acknowledged that testing positive for marijuana in a patient, based upon a random drug screening, will not serve as a breach
of the current pain management agreement if the patient submits documentation in support of the marijuana being prescribed
and dispensed in conformity with Michigan law."
This would appear to be VA policy in all states where medical marijuana is allowed by law. Remember, it is still
not allowed on VA property because of federal law. Many
VA physicians will work with patients to help them obtain medical marijuana if needed. VA physicians cannot write a
prescription or even give a referral to a "marijuana doctor." But, there are ways around that ... and this
is done all the time. A friend of mine was going through
chemo and couldn't keep food down. His VA doctor handed him a business card of a civilian doctor. My friend went
to the civilian doc, got a medical marijuana scrip, and managed to get through his chemo and keep food down at the same time. A suggestion to vets who might benefit from medical marijuana: Just
ask your VA physician ... most times they will get you headed in the right direction. The complete statement on veterans and medical marijuana is below: ------------------------- Letters: VA marijuana policy outlined by The Saginaw News
Editor, The News:
As a clarification to the article on medical marijuana in
the VA, it is important for veteran patients and visitors of the VA medical center in Saginaw and community based outpatient
clinics in Alpena, Clare, Gaylord, Oscoda and Traverse City to understand how the new law regarding the use of medical marijuana
will be handled by VA medical center police and practitioners.
The legalization of medical marijuana in Michigan
is acknowledged. However, pursuant to federal law, VA physicians, nurse practitioners and other licensed clinicians are not
authorized or permitted to participate in the recommendation for treatment of or prescribing medical marijuana to a VA patient
that would otherwise be legal in Michigan. Furthermore, the VA will not dispense, prescribe or store medical marijuana, and
its possession on VA property remains illegal and a criminal offense.
