The countdown for Marc's prison release is now at 656 days. This week a Canadian Conservative Member of Parliament, Jay Aspin from Nipissing-Timiskaming, Ontario, introduced a petition in the House of Parliament about Marc's treaty transfer from the United States to Canada.
Also this week, our good friend and accomplished activist Dana Larsen lauched his initiative here in British Columbia to form a more sensible approach to cannabis. He has organized a public forum to be held Monday, September 24, from 7-9pm at Alix Goolden Performance Hall, 907 Pandora Ave, Victoria BC. For all the info about how you can sign up and get involved go to http://www.SensibleBC.ca and http://www.SensibleBC.ca/panel
Many initiatives are ready to be voted on in the United States in their upcoming elections. Massachusetts, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, Montana and Arkansa are among the many poised. Get involved if you're in a state with an initiative and vote yes!
