CA: MEDICAL MARIJUANA DEFENDED BY GREEN AID

Green Aid is Fighting a Federal Prosecution That Will Deprive You of Your
Right of Choice Regarding Your Health and Welfare

The prosecution of Ed Rosenthal is very important to Washington
conservatives and is a very real threat to your freedom of choice.

Ed is the focus of one of several federal prosecutions that will attempt to
wipe out strides made by voters on behalf of medical marijuana reform. He
was arrested by federal agents on February 11, 2002 and is awaiting trial.

The question is clear =AD will medical providers be prosecuted by the
Federal government for supplying marijuana to help sick and dying people in
California in compliance with state law as passed by Prop 215 in 1996?

The current federal administration is threatened by the probability that,
with Green Aid's active support, winning Ed's case would stop federal
government interference with the right of voters to regulate their own
health and welfare. Winning this case will free Ed to continue his crusade
for medical marijuana and potentially limit the prosecution of thousands of
others.

The good news is that the Green Aid: The Medical Marijuana Legal Defense
and Education Fund (Green Aid) has been officially launched with a
contribution of $650,000 of pro bono (in-kind) legal services and we now
need to immediately raise $350,000 in matching cash contributions.

Green Aid has been assembled a "green team" of skilled attorneys to defend
Ed Rosenthal's pivotal case. Attention to the local case and national
reform initiatives make this a critical time to take social and legal
action that will have a definitive impact on the legitimate medical use of
marijuana.

We urgently need your significant donation now to defend Ed Rosenthal's
landmark case and establish Green Aid as a viable and effective force to
defend the medical use of marijuana.

Green Aid is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization status and your donation
will be legally tax deductible. Visit our website address at
www.Green-Aid.com for additional information. (We're working on obtaining
a .org web address.)

Pledge whatever you can to the defense matching fund before they win
another round against choice. And then forward this letter to everyone on
your e-mail list. Please do whatever you can to help. Commit whatever
money you can to this fight and help spread the word to others.

Please don't put off responding. Your help is vital to our continued
struggle to assure that we retain the right as voters to legally regulate
our own health and welfare through the democratic process.
