The Seattle Hempfest is exciting! An effort for the legalization of hemp is connected with a multiplicity of ideas, values,
and
changes in this nation. Our constitutional foundations were recorded on hemp. A return to the use of hemp as a primary paper source could help save our rainforests and preserve our planet. The Hempfest is a stand for freedom and the value and worth of individual Americans as critical parts of the whole of our nation. Peace, equity, the rule of law, and the efficacy of constitutional integrity may not hinge on this specific issue. But the millions of Americans who support this reform, might also be persuaded to
share as we reform our nation. When multitudes gather to celebrate diversity, freedom, and counter-cultural liberation... let the thunder of our ideas roll down like the waters of a might streams and rivers, cascading into oceans of equity and justice...
Let it rain. best regards, Tim
While the political implications of hemp may perhaps be relatively limited, it has been suggested that this
struggle could become
a locus for some politically active causes. Veterans for Peace is one of several organizations
who see this connection.
The Rainbow Family of Living Light, sometimes known as the "Rainbow Tribe", is an international loose affiliation

While many of us may consider ourselves
"undercover soldiers" who are ready to defend the US constitution, human rights, and justice... translating this empathy into action is essential. American patriots can find common ground and embrace global perspectives as they participate in local initiatives.
Post Script:
The rolling thunder which is
Barack Obama may well change our nation. He may even be
the next president.
John Edwards has already been elected vice president. Al Gore has
already been elected president. Both of these
men should be part of the next administration.
The Obama presidency holds
promise for America. Let us hope
Barack can rally the troops at home and abroad and lead us to
positive change by enlisting the aid of our best and brightest.
