Subject: South Dakota patients urgently need your help
From: "Marijuana Policy Project" <rob@...>
Marijuana Policy Project Alert April 11, 2006 South Dakota patients urgently need your help Dear eco man:A coalition of activists in South Dakota urgently needs your help. Since May of last year, they’ve been collecting signatures to place a medical marijuana initiative on the statewide ballot this November 7.They’re running out of money to pay the petitioners who are collecting signatures, and the deadline for completing the signature drive is looming — it’s just three weeks from now, on May 2.If you haven’t yet made a donation this year, could you please do so today? The Marijuana Policy Project is processing donations made online and is sending checks to the South Dakota petitioners on a rolling basis.If a majority of voters passes the initiative, South Dakota would become the 12th state to legalize medical marijuana — and the first in the Midwest to do so. Please visit www.SDMedicalMarijuana.org to learn more about the campaign.South Dakota activists have collected 13,000 of the 25,000 or so signatures they need to place the initiative on the ballot, and time is running out. With only 20 days to go, they need to collect only 600 signatures per day to succeed. They now have enough petitioners to achieve this, but they don’t have enough money to pay them.The cost of the remaining portion of the signature drive is approximately 12,000 signatures x $3.00 = $36,000.Would you please put their medical marijuana initiative on the ballot by donating some of this $36,000 today?If you live in South Dakota or are willing to travel there to collect signatures on a volunteer or paid basis sometime between today and May 1, please contact Mark Pickens at (605) 728-2114.I want to thank you in advance for donating whatever you can to help us put the medical marijuana initiative on the South Dakota ballot.Sincerely,Rob Kampia

Newsweek, Nov. 14, 2005, page 36:
"The most recent evidence comes from autopsies of 44 prisoners who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S. custody. Most died under circumstances that suggest torture. The reports use words like 'strangulation,' 'asphyxiation' and 'blunt force injuries.' ... A few months before the [Abu Ghraib] scandal broke [spring 2004], Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support at 63 percent. A month after Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the revelations."
