Sounds Like:
We will have a new president in less than a year. These presidential candidates and the media have all agreed not to mention the failures of this unending drug war. Nothing has devastated our people more than this “Drug War†that President Nixon declared in 1971. The battle is still raging from our own streets to the small foreign villages that have grown these ancient organic medicines.
Our government’s corporate drug policies have destroyed the beautiful indigenous cultures that survived for thousands of years in peace and harmony. The illegal immigrants flowing across our borders are refugees of this drug war and these failed policies. Our government sanctioned the rape, robbery and ruin of an ancient way of life simply because they grew hemp for their food, fuel, fiber and medicine. The beautiful faces of these children, families, tribes and villages that were crushed like bugs will haunt me all my life. They were simple farmers just like my family and they did not deserve to be destroyed in a war they did not understand.
The media cannot admit that they led millions of kids to death and destruction with their lies about marijuana use. These lies were the gateway to drug abuse, addiction and slavery. Now our kids don’t know who or what to believe about drugs and they trust no one. We are in an epidemic of synthetic mind and mood drugs that are making people go berserk and commit mass murders, even their own children. Our presidential candidates do not have the guts or authority to even mention this deadly and dismal failure.
I take this drug war and its death toll seriously. I cannot raise my voice loud enough without your help. Please go to my website, check out the music and life story of an old marijuana smuggler named Ulysses Samuel Hemp. U.S. Hemp wants to force these politicians and their corporate media machine to discuss the failures of this 37-year drug war before the next presidential election. I am considering a major event in the Arizona Desert to bring attention to this matter before election time. Go to ushempstore.com to find my CD and jewelry. Please support and promote this cause in anyway you can.
