ALS for 22 Years; Activism for 11 Years - Urgent Message!

"Stand Up & Tell the Truth!"
Feb.22.2008 - Surviving ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's Disease), with medical Cannabis for over 20 years and publicly fighting for everyone's right to have the God-given medicine for 11 years, Cathy Jordan and her husband Bob have succeeded in many ways, living life to its' fullest.
But an incident in nearby Tampa shocked them back to the reality that too many seriously ill people face. A paraplegic man in police custody was dumped from his wheelchair onto the floor. This scene was seen around the world, but hit home especially to the Jordans, as this is what they've always feared.
With ALS, Cathy can't even raise her arms up and, if she is in shock from fear, cold and mishandling, she could choke to death without someone with intimate knowledge of her condition being present.
The Jordans feel, as do so many now, that the time to end this fear is now. We all must repeatedly contact our representatives in government - especially the U. S. House of Representatives, which will vote on legislation this summer stipulating that the federal government leave medical marijuana patients alone and let the states decide matters of health and welfare for their citizens.

*** PLEASE READ: Cannabis has the most healing effects for patients early in ALS disease progression. While it can be useful later, SMOKING ANYTHING CAN BE DANGEROUS IN ADVANCED CASES OF ALS, so check with your doctor if you have any concerns. This is what works for one person and is not intended to be medical advice. ***

Please educate your U.S. House Representative and staff before the "States Rights to Medical Marijuana" (Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment) legislation comes up for vote again this summer. Write letters; call them; tell your friends to do the same. Needless fear and suffering can end if we do our jobs as citizens - help your representatives do theirs.

You're words made me cry.

I too have been had a life changed thanks to Cannabis.

I heard of this man Rick Simpson and him giving the Oil to eat and curing people suffering that our own systems could not do.

I got a hold of 10-14 grams of this Oil and ate it and after 10 years of constant suffering... I was better then before I was sick..

I have allergies all my life, severe, sleeping disorders, I.B.S., Hemorrhoids and other things and everything got better including my weight.

Bless you both.

I wish I had the courage to do more than advocate this cause on youtube comments

Con't. and it calls for the removal of office in the form of impeachment. I am sure the framers thought of this across all 3 branches not just the executive. I can no much more put my head around giving trillions out for bailouts than I can arresting an individual for smoking a joint to ease their pain and/or suffering. There is a special place in hell for those that continue this bs war on marijuana and especially medical marijuana.

Con't. A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with ALS. The first thing I thought of due to the disease effect on motor nerouns was Pot. I can't believe that I am watching a former Vietnam Vet and his wife worry about being caught for smoking a weed that HELPS her! If the framers of the Constitution knew that our Congress was bought and paid for from all lobbyist and industry specifically Big Pharma they would be SICK! Bribery is mentioned in the executive branch wording Con't again.

First of all, Gob bless you Cathy and Bob and I feel your struggle and I hope you many years to come. What the F is wrong with our government?? We have the most amazing framework of government the world has ever seen; however, we have the biggest bought and paid for pricks running our government that is CRIMINAL!!!! Continue next
