Registered letters and\ )porting evidence have been sent,;eatedly to 18
<br /> newspapers, government officials and agencies (including Presidents Bush and
<br /> Clinton, Attorneys General Warren Price and Dan Lungren, Governors Pete
<br /> Wilson and John Waihee, the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Tax Court,
<br /> CNN, Time Magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, Honolulu Star - Bulletin, Maui
<br /> News, Humboldt County News Service, South Maui Times, countless radio stations,
<br /> etc.) in a due diligent process of establishing a public record of Truth, over a
<br /> nine year period. 6, 12„ 24 • 31,34, 35, 55, 5658
<br /> Unaccountable failure by U.S. government officials to acknowledge the truth
<br /> about Cannabis, has led me to repeatedly individually challenge anti- Natural
<br /> statutes prohibiting Cannabis agriculture, manufacture, and trade. Through
<br /> credible education and non - violent public agricultural disobedience, I have
<br /> taken individual responsibility for the truth about 'marijuana'. I have planted
<br /> Cannabis publicly in the United States twice, so far 26.35
<br /> I formally challenged the Attorneys General of Hawaii and California to debate
<br /> the Constitutionality and rationality of illegal statutes prohibiting Cannabis
<br /> cultivation, manufacture and trade. 31 I sent clear, concise, registered letters to
<br /> local, state, and federal officials, well ahead of time, demanding to be arrested
<br /> for something that can't possibly be against the law.;) I was roundly ignored
<br /> by the government both times, but received enthusiastic support from other
<br /> environmental activists, the general public, people in the media, and the
<br /> police.
<br /> Torn Soldiers
<br /> Every police officer I have ever talked with about Cannabis, has agreed that
<br /> Cannabis prohibition does more to damage society and themselves individually,
<br /> than use of `marijuana' itself. B' 29.30' 48 Before I planted in Hawaii, one of the native
<br /> Hawaiian cops lectured me over the phone, about the 5000 year old history of
<br /> Chinese herbal medicine, with obvious frustration straining his voice, choked with
<br /> brotherly compassion. • -
<br /> After Hawaii's top "' marijuana' cop" retired, Solomon Lee wondered publicly,
<br /> "How can IQ many people be wrong ? ", weighing individual accountability
<br /> against the truth about hundreds of Island families, whose lives he "busted"
<br /> during his illustrious career.
<br /> In Hawaii, the day after I planted, I phoned the Chief of Police and the County
<br /> Prosecutor to tell them I was planting at home. That afternoon a helicopter carrying
<br /> two plainclothes "suits" came to my house, hovered ominously as I photographed
<br /> them filming me transplanting Cannabis seedlings. After they flew away there was
<br /> no other response of any kind from either of the Attorneys General whom I
<br /> challenged. After I planted publicly in Hawaii, Warren Price declared a peculiar
<br /> victory in the Island "drug war" and quit his job as "drug czar" seven days later. 47
<br /> Individual Tax Revolt
<br /> Because I have actively questioned participation in the insidious subversion of
<br /> agricultural freedom in my homeland, I have been fined $35,000 in U.S. Tax Court
<br /> as a "tax protester" posing "groundless and frivolous arguments" 6 . 38 . Reasoned
<br /> inquiry, resulting from exhaustive research of the U.S. Constitution, I.R.S. Tax Code
<br /> and other legitimate references, were judged to be "arguments" .
<br /> Obvious economic relationships between the U.S. Department of the Treasury's.
<br /> Tax Court and the Internal Revenue Service invariably compromise impartial
<br /> judicial opinion. 4,15, 38, 42,48,49, 30 Appeals and jury trials are not allowed in tax
<br /> cases. I see no justice in an unobjective opinion, and will not willingly honor
<br /> one. While I trust the power of truth to be greater than we can imagine, it must
<br /> be heard by many people, very soon.
