MARIJUANA MARTYR EDDY LEPP OPPOSES PROP. 19

MARIJUANA MARTYR EDDY LEPP OPPOSES PROP. 19
mrs. linda lepp called me today and told me that her husband, well-known marijuana martyr EDDY LEPP has finally read the initiative, and he is "1,000% against it," she said.

eddy lepp is currently in federal prison for cultivating through a medical marijuana collective, and has been a vocal advocate for marijuana law reform for decades.

linda lepp reported that eddy's opposition is largely based on the fact that prop. 19 is clearly written in favor of big business and corporations, and, importantly, that GEORGE SOROS--who today donated $1M to the Yes on 19 campaign--is a major shareholder in MONSANTO, the world's largest genetically-modified seed bio-technology corporation.

"the MONSANTO corporation brought you things like Agent Orange, Terminator Seeds, Monsantos Round-up ready Herbicide, and Genetically Modified and Patented Organisms made from Soybean, Corn, and Cotton to name a few. Genetically engineered crops entered the market in 1996 and to this day around 90% of all Soy, Corn, and Cotton grown in the U.S. have been Genetically Engineered and patented by a handful of bio-chemical corporations, with Monsanto owning 90% of all GMO patents."

"Monsanto's development and marketing of genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone, as well as its aggressive litigation, political lobbying practices, seed commercialization practices and 'strong-arming' of the seed industry have made the company controversial around the world and a primary target of the alter-globalization movement and environmental activists. As a result of its business strategies and licensing agreements, Monsanto came under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department in 2009." (wikipedia)
