I am looking to put on a Rock Benefit for Marc Emery, leader of the BC Marijuana Party, who is now facing life in prison in the US, who wish to extradite him from CANADA, for selling marijuana seeds. Canadian authorities have NOT laid charges and have allowed this business to operate in Vancouver, legally, paying taxes, for a decade. It is extremely expensive to fight the US government and I am trying to fundraise for his legal defence.

This may set a precedent that Canadians are subject to US drug laws, and I want to remind everyone that we are CANADIAN. We have different views on Marijuana, and we cannot let the US failed drug war dictate how we run our country.

But that being said, I am looking for 3 bands to step up and commit themselves for an Aug. 26th show at Steamers. I have been in touch with Andrew and he will help us out if I can find the Bands. I NEED BANDS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING, so please, please, if you are at all interested, contact me immediately. Phone: 381-9939 Email: [email protected]

We are trying to generate support for a rally on Sept. 10th in Vancouver to get the message to Canadians that we won't take orders from our nosy neighbours.

Rock and Roll can help bring it down. Remember, You're Canadian. - Mon, 8 Aug 2005 1:57pm
