I don't know how many people have been following this, but I didn't realize the hearing was this soon.

When will our government understand -- it's just a ----ing plant! These people were running a business, they aren't "typical drug dealers."

I should also mention that Emery's signed a plea bargain to remain in a Canadian prison for 5 years.

Extradition Hearing To Begin January 21
by Jodie Emery (21 Jan, 2008)
Three Canadians face extradition to, and life imprisonment in, the United States - but they've never been there!
Michelle Rainey, Marc Emery, and Greg Williams

The extradition hearing is scheduled to begin on January 21st - January 25th, 2008. Please phone (613) 957-4222 to tell the Canadian Minister of Justice it would be "cruel and unjust", an insult to Canada's sovereignty, to extradite Canadians Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey and Greg Williams to the United States to face life in US prison, especially when a $200 fine -- not jail time -- is the BC Supreme Court precedent for selling cannabis seeds (See R. v. Hunter, 2000). You can quote, "If Canadians have broken the law in Canada, they should be given a fair jury trial in Canada. If they wouldn't face any imprisonment in Canada for the charges laid, they should not be extradited to another country to face life imprisonment."
Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams are Canadian citizens who were heavily involved in anti-prohibition activitism for over ten years. The United States Justice Department and DEA want Canada's government to extradite these three political activists to face 10 years up to life in US prison! Canadians and Americans MUST do their part to help prevent the extradition from happening -- even a phone call makes a difference!
When will our government understand -- it's just a ----ing plant! These people were running a business, they aren't "typical drug dealers."
