This needs to be made a sticky until Marc is out of Prison. This is serious news and I think we should be reminded of this injustice and stay active until he is out of prison.

Check those ambiguous "facts" once more and determine your position based on those facts, Boom.

Marc Emery: Political Prisoner
By Cannabis Culture - Monday, September 28 2009
TAGS: CC MAGAZINE FEATURE ARTICLES HEADLINE NEWS CANADA FREE MARC EMERY MARC EMERY MEDIA NO EXTRADITION TELEVISION USA VIDEO

CANNABIS CULTURE - Marijuana activist and Cannabis Culture Publisher Marc Emery surrendered to Canadian authorities Monday, September 28th and was escorted to jail to await a transfer to the United States where he is expected to serve a 5-year prison sentence for selling marijuana seeds.
The 'Prince of Pot' held a press conference in front of the British Columbia courthouse where he spoke to supporters and journalists. After an emotional speech from Emery and his wife Jodie, Marc hugged many of his friends and made his way into the courtroom.
Mainstream Media correspondents were on-scene and began reporting on the event shortly after Marc was 'committed' by the judge and taken from the courtroom.
Read media reports about Marc's case below, or go to this MedPot.net Forums thread with almost all media coverage of Marc's incarceration.
Read more about the DEA's political persecution of Marc Emery and find out how to help Marc come home.
Please call the Canadian Minister of Justice, Rob Nicholson, and (politely) tell him that you and thousands of other Canadian voters are opposed to Marc Emery's extradition to the USA: 613-992-4621.

Didn't Marc himself state something to the effect of:
When the government bucks as hard as they can and screams as loud as they dare, it is because they are losing the battle. It's always darkest before the dawn.
Let's hope the dawn comes soon.
Speak the sun into existance people. Quit being afraid. Our lives and our freedom are at stake.
Apparently, Canada's freedom as well.

This Monday (or today thru leaving a 30 second voicemail) we're going to make calls to the Justice Minister of Canada (a regular man who puts his pants on one leg at a time like you and me). It doesn't matter if you're from Canada or not. They will take your phone call or if they're not there just leave a voicemail. The office is open from 9-5 so anytime after that you'll get voicemail.
Marc Emery was taken into custody on Monday, September 28th. Marc is being held in Canada until the Justice Minister signs the extradition order to send him to the USA. Tell the Justice Minister to refuse the extradition of Marc Emery!
Contact the Justice Minister of Canada, Rob Nicholson, to tell him that you are a voter and you want him to refuse the extradition order for Marc Emery. You must insist that the message be delivered directly to the Justice Minister, and ask for a response too!

I wrote the Canadian justice minister even though I'm a lowly American. The following is a copy of the email:
_______________________________________________________________________________
Note: I politely insist that this letter be given directly to the Honorable Robert Nicholson.
Mr. Nicholson,
It is with great anger I write this letter. What have you done with your own people? What have you done to your own citizens?
I have never seen a Canadian leader so willing to give up its own population to a separate nation. I ask you to reconsider the extradition of Canadian resident Marc Emery, a tax paying Canadian citizen. I realize the mounting pressure of a seemingly organized nation with an agressive enforcement agency has delved in and instigated this scenario. I also realize your personal position on the matter.
Can you really sit there day after day knowing you're about to extradite a Canadian citizen to America's prison system OVER a PLANT SEED COMPANY? I will ask you this with the following academic arguments in mind:
1. Is every plant on the Earth a part of the Earth or should we reject some plants that have been put here?
2. Is a seed the same thing as a chemical substance?
3. What has Nature done to us with these seeds that is so aweful?
4. Is it right for one man to imprison another over a tax-paying company that distributed plant seeds? (Shall you take taxes from a man and not give him legal fortitude?)
5. Is it easy to ship off to another nation a man whom paid you taxes and operated openly before you for a decade? (Is there truly no issue of conscience at hand here?)
I respectfully insist on a response, Mr. Nicholson. This is authentically outrageous. Neither you nor anyone of an academic nature can simply sign a piece of paper and cooly walk off. It shall not go down this way (it shall not simply be). Time will prove that - not me - based on this noteworthy event.

I wrote my senator and just now called the office of the American judge in Seattle overseeing this.
Judge Ricardo S. Martinez
U.S. Courthouse
700 Stewart Street, Suite 13134
Seattle, WA 98101-9906
I called and spoke with the office and they are "getting a lot of letters" on Marc Emery's behalf. I asked if the judge has any power over the sentencing despite a plea bargain being in place and the answer was a definite "YES."
