Roger Christie has been held without bail at the Honolulu Federal Detention Center since July 8, 2010. His trial on federal drug trafficking charges has been set for April 26, 2011. He is not allowed to see anyone except attornies or his blood relatives. While he is able to make phone calls and received emails under restricted conditions, he must pay dearly for the privilege. The Federal Detention Center charges him about $600 per month for phone calls, emails, and access to the prison commissary.

You can help by writing a personal testimonial or a respectful letter of support for Roger.

THEN GOD SAID, I GIVE YOU EVERY SEED-BEARING PLANT ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH, AND EVERY TREE THAT HAS FRUIT IN IT." GENESIS 1:29-30

"... in later times some will abandon faith and follow the deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.... they order people to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving.... For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer." Timothy 4:1

US Marijuana Party: Free Roger Christie

On October 2, 1937 Samuel R. Caldwell became the first person jailed under the Marihuana Tax Act. He was sentenced to 4 years hard labor at Leavenworth Penitentiary and a $1000 fine. He died one year after release from prison.

One day there was a last 'witch trial' and the terrible horror of centuries ended forever. It's our prayer, intention and goal that there will also be a 'last marijuana trial' - and that this will be it.

Did you know that the Attorney General of the United States has the power to reschedule Cannabis with the stroke of a pen? Please write to Eric Holder and tell him it's time to take Marijuana off of Schedule I.
