Loitering in front of the AM/PM convenience market during the graveyard shift, you see all sorts of people: construction workers, bureaucrats, tweakers, stoners, and grifters of all sorts and varieties. Last night was the first time that I met an earnest man on a political crusade, however.
I have a lot of sympathy for people on political crusades - I wouldn't have run for Governor in 2003 unless I did. So, for informational purposes only (meaning I neither support or disdain the crusade), here is the bulletin:
Frank "Hemp" Boone Allen, Sacramento's "Hemp Czar," is securing a permit today to lead a march from the west steps of the State Capitol, to Pyramid Park in West Sacramento, from noon to 5:30 p.m. on the 4th of July, on behalf of marijuana legalization, and in honor of the millions who died defending this country. After this first march, similar marches will be scheduled henceforth on the first Saturday of every month. Mr. Allen says that the money gained from legal marijuana sales will be dedicated to education, and that legal marijuana "will be the biggest thing for California since the discovery of gold." Mr. Allen said he could be reached through the people at the Compassionate Coalition.
