On Saturday 04/26/08 at 2:00 pm there will be a rally and an act of civil disobediance (planting of seedlings) at the federal building in Westwood. Our goal is to turn up the heat on the DEA to stop interferring with California Law and the busines thereof. This rally is also to remind our Govenator that it is time that he stand behind us. While the building will be closed we intend on having the press there and to do that we need a spectacular turn out that is why we are planning for a Saturday.

There is alot going on politically with MMJ right now and we really need to raise awareness to our cause so please support this event so that we get the press needed.
