Gatewood: "If I only had thirty seconds to get your vote, I would have only one question to ask you."

 
 
But if you did not know me or what I stand for, and if I only had thirty seconds to get your vote, I would have only one question to ask you.
And if you answer this question one way, I've got your vote, no matter what else you think about me.
And if you answer this question the other way, I don't think you understand the question.
The question is, 'Did our forefathers' generation hit the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima so that we would have to pee in a cup to hold a job in America?

The introduction of the police state methods into American culture is fatal to our freedom. The solutions to our problems lie in the words of Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln not Mr. Yamamoto or Helmut Schmidt.
And let's get this straight. I'm not a racist and I'm not xenophobic. I'm a Nationalist.
I'll trade with other countries, I'll have lunch with them and I'll play golf with them. But until they adopt a Constitution and Bill of Rights that gives their own citizens the rights and freedoms we enjoy, they are not our political peers.
If we abandon our principals of individual freedom and dignity, then our liberty and right to self-determination will abandon us. Our standard of living will fall and our jobs will evaporate as our children and grandchildren are thrown open to competition in the workplace with Four Billion other people on the planet, many of whom will work all day for a bowl of rice and a mat to sleep on.
That is not my vision for Kentucky and its citizens. My vision is rooted in the traditions of our Founding Fathers.
As to the size of government, Thomas Jefferson said, 'The least government is the best government.'
As to the role of government, Abraham Lincoln said, 'Prohibition strikes at the very heart of the principles on which this country was founded.'
And as far as having to pee in a cup to hold a job, I look to the words of General George Patton. 'Screw you Nazis!

The Exile Nation Project - Interview with Rebecca Forbes

The Land of the Free punishes or imprisons more of its citizens than any other nation. This collection of testimonials from criminal offenders, family members, and experts on America’s criminal justice system puts a human face on the millions of Americans subjugated by the US Government's 40 year, one trillion dollar social catastrophe: The War on Drugs; a failed policy underscored by fear, politics, racial prejudice and intolerance in a public atmosphere of "out of sight, out of mind."

This complete interview is #18 of 100 in The Exile Nation Project's archive, which can be found on ExileNation.org.

Rebecca Forbes is a medical cannabis patient & activist living in North Carolina.

In 1998 Rebecca was sentenced to 3 years in the North Carolina Department of Corrections for the cultivation of cannabis. 

In this emotional interview, Rebecca describes the devastating impact the drug war has had on her life, health and family.

Lawmakers Say Hemp Would Again Be A Boon To KY Agriculture

 

​Kentucky farmers could soon once again lead the nation with a crop steeped in tradition: hemp.

 
With the support of Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, Kentucky lawmakers filed a bill on Thursday to put Comer at the head of the long-dormant Kentucky Industrial Hemp Commission and renew a drive to bring the crop back, reports Janet Patton at the Herald-Leader.
 
Twelve Kentucky House members -- including a former speaker -- signed on to support the bill to promote industrial hemp production in the state, reports Gregory A. Hall at the Courier-Journal.
 
Hemp -- also known as cannabis sativa -- is one of the world's oldest cultivated plants, but it was consigned to outlaw status when marijuana prohibition was implemented in 1937, even though hemp strains of cannabis have almost no THC, the principal ingredient that gives users a high.
 
Comer said that if House Bill 286 is approved by the Kentucky General Assembly, he will petition federal authorities for a permit for Kentucky to grow hemp. The state Department of Agriculture would regulate hemp cultivation permits, at least in the beginning, according to Comer.
 
The bill makes local sheriff's departments responsible for monitoring and randomly testing fields to see that THC-rich marijuana isn't being grown.
 
​"It's symbolic," Comer said. "But this will send a message to Washington that we're serious about this in Kentucky."
 
State Senator Joey Pendleton (D-Hopkinsville), who has long supported the legalization of industrial hemp, joined Reps. Richard Henderson (D-Jeffersonville); Keith Hall (D-Phelps); and Ryan Quarles (R-Georgetown) in announcing the legislation Thursday.
 
The University of Kentucky had sought a hemp cultivation permit several years ago, but the federal Drug Enforcement Administration wouldn't give them one, Pendleton said. Now, he said, the feds might be more ready to listen (don't hold your breath, Senator Pendleton). "The time to act is now," he said.
 
According to a University of Kentucky College of Agriculture report, federal law technically allows industrial hemp production, but it requires a government permit. Federal regulation and DEA foot-dragging "make hemp production prohibitive, even at the research level," the report said.
 ​
Comer said he has had "positive signals" from several Kentucky representatives in Washington, D.C., and has seen no backlash from Kentuckians or law enforcement regarding his support for hemp. At the federal level, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has filed legislation to lift federal restrictions that keep farmers from growing the crop.
 
Pendleton and Phelps said they think farmers would line up for permits if the bill is approved. They see a big future for hemp products, including ethanol production, fiber, textiles, food, cosmetics, building materials including "hempcrete" and car parts.
 
​Studies have estimated that hemp production could have a significant economic impact, particularly if processing centers are also built in the state.
 
"We could talk about the textile mills and the jobs that would be created," Henderson said. "We could talk about the paper mills and the jobs that would be created. We don't have any agenda other than we want to diversify our agricultural economy and create jobs."
 
Hemp could be a "gold mine," according to Phelps. He said it would be perfect for mountaintop-removal reclamation projects where it could be grown for fiber or ethanol and would help repair environmental damage.
 
Comer said help could also replace the income lost in Eastern Kentucky as tobacco production moved west. "There's a void in many family farms," he said. "I believe that industrial hemp is a viable option for family farmers in Kentucky."
 
Ironically, the death of Kentucky activist icon and political figure Gatewood Galbraith, who campaigned for the legalization of both marijuana and hemp, has given new life to the issue.
 
"I think it raised awareness of issues that were close to his heart," said Jonathan Miller, the former secretary of state who recently endorsed marijuana legalization. Miller said he was a late convert to the cause, but that Galbraith helped win him over.
 
"I realized Gatewood was right," Miller said. "If his death has helped get the debate started again, I'm sure he's smiling down on this from above."
 

In Honor Of L. Gatewood Galbraith

The above photo was taken by PAULA WILLETT a long time friend of Gatewood Galbraith, at

his Memorial on Tuesday January 10th, following his death on January 4th of this year.

Kentucky has suffered one of it's biggest losses with the death of this Civil Rights Leader.

He was also a friend of mine and I am missing him greatly.  No one left to call to get a

straight answer when you need one in this state.  This hurt will take a long time to heal

for a lot of people.

Others in attendance included Brian and Cher Ford-McCullough, Rev. Mary Thomas Spears,

Mike Morris, and numerous other political figures who came by to offer their condolences to the family.

Gatewood's "Guestbook" is located HERE.

May the Lord bless the entire Galbraith family at this sad time of their lives and enable

Gatewood's legacy to be carried on.  Let not his life and fight for liberty and justice die in vain.
