Lethbridge May March!       #847534 - Sat May 01 2004 08:09 PM Edit   Reply   Quote

Hey everyone! We had a rally with posters and signs and a turnout of 50 people!!!! Wow! It was great! We showed up about 3:50 PM and started marching around the block, drawing in a crowd and even catching a cop's attention, but he only radioed in about it, not anything else...No cops busted us up, they let us have our peace. Once we did a complete circle, we entered the park to meet Grant Kreiger, and one of his members. Virgil welcomed us into the park by playing his guitar, and we all orderly sat down and enjoyed the rays of sun, as we listened to Charlie Christensen talk about what the day was across the globe, and some amazing facts about cannabis. About halfway through his speech, a man named Andrew, got up, tried to get Charlie to go with him...then dissappeared. A few minutes later he returned, carrying a fake palm tree on his shoulder. He set it down next to him and then took his seat. We were moved by such a gesture! It happened to be on display next to the Art gallery in the park. Very unique! Charlie continued on, wrapped it up, and then introduced Grant. Grant took his place center stage and educated the young people in attendance about what cannabis can do for you as a medicine. People were excited and intrigued by all the wonders of this plant. There were some children running about, and then they were so inspired, a four year old took center stage with Grant, and gave his message, "Please take care of the Earth, and Love Peace"...what a sweetheart. Once Grant was done, we all marched down to City Hall, and then on to the RCMP station, to peacefully hand our message over to them, only to find they were closed, with no attendees anywhere. So we placed our signs carefully on the doors, and then left. They read : "Hemp is Hope" "LAWS PERSECUTE THE SICK" "Give Peace a Chance" "End the Drug War" and "Canada's Safest Renewable Resource" I hope they received the message with peace and good vibes Well, it was a great day! I hope your day was great too!!! Peace and Love, Sarah -------------------- I choose to be happy Post Extras:
