Update on Marc Emery, September 27, 2010

*Correction: The "Free Marc Emery" moneybomb fundraiser is Saturday October 16th*

The wife of Marc Emery, Jodie, brings us up to date on how Marc is doing in US federal prison, and what lies ahead for him. He was ordered extradited from Canada on May 10th, was formally removed from Canada and taken to SeaTac FDC in Seattle on May 20th, and was sentenced to 5 years in prison on September 10th. Information about the sentencing is found at http://www.FreeMarc.ca and http://www.CannabisCulture.com

Marc's Canadian transfer application to return to Canada to serve his sentence is now with the Public Safety Minister of Canada, and we need help to get him to say YES! Marc will soon be sent to Taft FCI in California to serve his sentence, and will apply to the US government for transfer to Canada. We need people's help to get them to say YES too! We also need to fundraise $8,500 to hire the US transfer specialist lawyer, so please join our fundraising moneybomb on Saturday, October 16th!

So to help FREE MARC EMERY, please go to http://www.FreeMarc.ca and http://www.CannabisCulture.com

The sirens scared me a bit.,,,I remember there was sirens in your last videos...why?

[JodieEmery]

@PornFlakes21 Our store is right downtown in Vancouver, and all major cities have sirens going off on emergency vehicles all day long... I guess we're just used to it, the sounds of the big city!

[hey111222]

Good to have an update will he be surving a full 5 year sentence?

[JodieEmery]

@hey111222 We hope he won't have to serve the full sentence, as we're trying to get him transferred to Canada to do his time, and he'll be out sooner. Please go to our website to help him get home! FreeMarc.ca

[Zeriador]

Jodie, out of curiosity, did Marc have an export license for the seeds he sold?

And really, why should Canadian tax payers have to pay for Marc's prison stay. The Americans wanted him, they should pay for it.

[JodieEmery]

@Zeriador Marc did not have an export license, there is no such thing for cannabis seeds. And the reason Canadians should pay for his imprisonment (rather than Americans -- though no one should pay, as he shouldn't be imprisoned) is because he did his activities at ALL TIMES in Canada, and because Canadian citizens have the right under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (section 6: Mobility) to return to Canada, and the USA and Canada have a treaty to transfer prisoners to their home countries.

[JodieEmery]

@efil4zagginE Oh no, I'm not single at all -- I'm married to, and 100% devoted to, my hero, my husband, Marc Emery!

[MaxSafeheaD]

FREE MARC, FIRE HARPER!

[fdbarajas]

The work you and marc do is deeply appreciated. I will send what I can to help.

[DaniboyBR2]

@JodieEmery Yeah, big city people are humans alright, but I don't know how they consider themselves that way such is the cruelty of a major city.

Hope Marc is freed, and you are the cutest woman I've ever seen, and smokes pot, I must say Marc is a lucky man even in jail right now, just for the prospect of meeting you once again, and I hope that happens pretty soon!

Cheers from Brazil, FREE MARC EMERY!

LEGALIZE MARIJUANA! From a simple legalization activist of Brazil.
