Groups that support marijuana rights have thrown their support to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry, the Boston Globe reported Aug. 20.
"It is essential for our crowd to understand that there is nothing more important they can do for drug-policy reform than to go out and cast their ballots in the Democratic box in November," said Dominic Holden, 27, a spokesman for Hempfest, which was recently held in Seattle, Wash.
Hempfest organizers are officially nonpartisan, but citing the Bush administration's aggressive policies against marijuana, the group has decided to endorse Kerry.
"When you look at what's happening on the front lines of the drug war under the Bush administration, the federal government has waged war against sick and dying people who use medical marijuana and those compassionate enough to help them," Holden said. "We need to unite and get George Bush out of office. We need to vote for John Kerry."
"Members of one-issue organizations -- that's part of our democracy. We look at all Americans as potential John Kerry-John Edwards voters," said Sam Rodriguez, director of Kerry's Washington state campaign. "We are all united to defeat George W. Bush."
