Hawaii State Legislature Petitions President Donald Trump to Pardon Share Christie

The 2014_CJS_PotAmendment that President Obama just signed into law basically overturns all of the religious use of marijuana convictions that have occurred to date.

Dear Becket Fund People, Aloha. I hope this finds you in top-shape and high-spirits. This is Roger Christie founder of The Hawai’i Cannabis (THC) Ministry writing to you from the federal halfway house in Honolulu. I recently finished my mandatory minimum prison sentence of 60 months for operating our Ministry openly and honestly for almost […]

Dear Honorable Judge Kobayashi, My husband has taught me about Ho’oponopono, and has shown beautiful examples. We have consistently been using these principals, and I would like to say to you that I am sorry for any misunderstanding or unpleasantness that has arisen in the course of our interactions. I have experienced so much pain […]

Aloha. On September 4th our lawyers Tommy Otake and Lynn Panagakos filed the final argument for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) motion in our marijuana conspiracy case.

Hello there Jeff, Aloha. Thanks for more air-time today. The show was educational, busy, a bit confusing, somewhat confrontational … very interesting talk radio, that’s for sure.

@@@ To Jeff Davis, host of KGU 760 talk radio in Honolulu. Also available on YouTube. Hey Jeff, Aloha. Anyone who knows me - AND WAS THERE TO WITNESS IT - knows that I was ‘Ministry motivated’ rather than ‘money motivated’. After 10 years of operating the THC Ministry I had a grand total of […]

On April 10th, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard resolutions urging the federal government to release Roger Christie on bail pending trial. Since July 1010 Christie has been denied his constitutional rights to a speedy trial and repeatedly denied release on bail. But Sen, Hee wanted to kill the resolutions. However, he claimed he would be […]

Dear friends, Aloha and good Friday morning! Thanks to each of you for taking the time to write a personal testimony in support of the Senate Resolution to ‘urge the feds to give me bail until our trial’ in July. Share and I are very grateful to you for taking the time and the effort […]
