to visit Oakland this Monday, July 23rd.
WHERE: Oakland City Hall Plaza, Broadway & 14th St.
WHEN: July 23rd, Noon - 5 PM
12 - 1 PM Street Theater
(1:45 PM - Press Conference at Oaksterdam University,
1600 Broadway)
3 PM - Gather for Presidents Visit
4:30 PM - Obama visits Fox Theater (in the heart of Oaksterdam, target of
recent federal actions against medical marijuana)
Bring sunscreen and water, weather forecast is in the 80s
Join us in a peaceful protest of the federal governments assault on
state-approved medical cannabis providers in California and elsewhere. In
violation of Attorney General Holder's sworn policy to respect state medical
marijuana laws, N. Cal. U.S.
Attorney Melinda Haag has threatened
local officials and landlords
for allowing medical cannabis distribution, invented arbitrary and
capricious new rules contrary to established local policy, and targeted many
of the Bay Areas leading dispensaries for closure despite their adherence to
state and local laws.
Most recently, Haag has moved to close the Bay Areas largest dispensary,
Harborside, on the grounds that it is too big (and successful) by filing to
forfeit its landlords property.
The DOJs assault on medical cannabis has cost California hundreds of
tax-paying businesses, thousands of jobs, and millions of dollars in tax
revenues, to the sole benefit of black market criminals. In other federal
actions, the Department of Treasury has blocked banks and credit-card
companies from doing business with medical cannabis providers; NIDA has
blocked medical marijuana research; the BATF has denied medical marijuana
patients the right to buy firearms, even while funneling weapons to Mexican
narco-trafficantes; and the DEA has declared that marijuana has no medical
use despite scientific evidence to the contrary. Remind the President of his
campaign pledge on medical marijuana: "I'm not going to be using Justice
Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue":
