There is a severe problem facing the Eel River, which runs through one of the most majestic areas of North America, the Redwood Forest in Southern Humboldt county. There are thousands of TONS of garbage, littering the banks, covering the life sustaining soil, left by uncaring people. The Eel River Clean Up Crew is putting their own money and time into cleaning it up, but they need help. The local government refuses to lend any kins of assistance. The community has donated money, but it is running out. The Eel River Clean Up Crew won’t just give up on this growing problem, but it should not be their fiscal responsibility. For more information, please go to www.EelRiverCleanUp.org.
"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this." Albert Einstein, "My First Impression of the USA," 1921

Morgan Hill Times, 25 Nov 2009 - Dear Editor, You fail to recognize that if the city of Gilroy is acting as moral morons - out of compliance with state law they are going to lose the lawsuit, and the citizens of Gilroy are going to foot the bill for the city council's foolish decisions.
Morgan Hill Times, 25 Nov 2009 - Dear Editor, I don't understand why the citizens of Gilroy are so upset and would like MediLeaf out of our community. I would much rather have people going to get their marijuana legally from a local dispensary than from some gang bangers in Christmas Hill Park. If anything I think this will help to resolve some of Gilro […]

In fact, I think that it needs exactly the opposite and should be completely decriminalized. By doing so, it will help ameliorate prison overcrowding, gangs, complications with medicinal dispensaries, quality, […]
San Jose Mercury News, 23 Nov 2009 - Inside an unremarkable three-story office building near Santana Row, Richard Noonan waited last week in the San Jose Cannabis Buyers Collective lobby for the marijuana he uses to treat symptoms of palsy. Not long ago, getting the drug required a trek to San Francisco. But now, the Campbell resident can choose from multipl […]
Red Bluff Daily News, 22 Nov 2009 - Editor: This is in regard to the "pot crime" letter to the editor. I have recently moved back to Red Bluff after several years living out of state. Every day I read the Daily News and I am shocked at the level of crime that goes on in this small town.
