Hey All: I just received reply Mail from Marc! It was dated July 4 and he's in fine form! I can almost hear his voice thanking me for writing those Pirates on the Hill and encouraging me to tell everyone to Keep up the Fight until Marc is Repatriated to Canada!


Marc's been receiving letters and is trying to keep up replying back to us all!

I've been sending him some post cards too, just a few lines to give encouragement and something to maybe hang on the wall or use as book marks.

Send Marc a letter or a post card today! blessings.

I was thinking that maybe whenever I come across an interesting article on the internet, I could print it out and mail it. Whatever interesting or even amusing stuff I come across, in hopes of helping Marc kill some time in what can't be the most pleasant of environments.

I was reading the article that talks about the mailing rules. In the rules, it says that only one newspaper or magazine article can be included in a letter. It also says that letters must be either hand written or hand typed.

So, what I'm not sure of are the following two things. First, are internet articles that are not clipped out of hard copy publications included in the one-article rule? For instance, what if I copy and paste a few different articles into one Word document and print that out? That brings me to the second question. Does hand typing mean that one has to do it manually on an old style typewriter? I'm thinking probably not, but I want to ask anyways and make sure.

I wondered about that too, but came to conclusion that "hand typed" on a computer keyboard is fine. I'd guess they don't want to have to spend time screening spam type mail.

Based on that, and that I'd guess they don't want to have to read/monitor hundreds of pages, putting too much copy and pasted text from articles might piss off the mail reading "screw"s.

Pissing off the screws would certainly work against the intended result of making Marc's time there more pleasant. I think I'll limit them to the one-article rule just in case.

hi folks,,
I for one , do not trust the authorities, I have posted a letter to Marc , but will duplicate it here ..
as I don't know it will reach him , but perhaps the forum can print it out & forward a duplicate for me.. cheers,

Hi Marc,
Iron bars do not a prison make.I'm sure you've heard that, & being a well read person, you could quote me many more. It appears the cracks are well entrenched & “growing” in the laws prohibiting our free use of marijuana.
I have been following the changes & observing the coming tidal wave from a safe distance ( if you can call it that ) here in Sunny Queensland Australia. This country ( 1-10th the population of USA ) was coerced into signing treaties by the USA as you know, now having the same problems foisted upon us too; although many European nations wisely thumbed their noses at it. Ha !. I contacted you once a long while ago , having written a song “grow your own” , a lively bluegrass ! tune. It turned up on a CD compilation of MJ songs down in Nimbin. I'm only a casual user, & like anything it can be overused & abused , but I certainly have enjoyed the creative impetus from it's effects (( We all know )) & I believe strongly in my own free will to choose.

I recently read this fascinating book, Michael Talbot , “the holographic universe” concerning the nature of reality & the universe , & thought you would enjoy absorbing some of it's elucidating content. Although I have found that I cannot send you a copy directly, I hope you can get one, You may have some reading time ahead of you. HA! I have often wondered about quantum physics, the nature of matter & the eternal construct of this universe. The book proposes that the entire universe is a holographic projection of energy, WOW which responds actively to our thoughts. Searching for answers about those things , that thinking people often do, why are we here , who are we , what to do about it; that is, more to life & existence that just a Sunday BBQ. & a few beers.

God , whoever that can be in the countless interpretations that exist , & Jesus , who proclaimed more tantalising clues about heaven & earth, & the ultimate goal of the souls journey. So may ways to say the same thing & offers some insight to what it may all really be. I hope you enjoy it. Michael Talbot , “the holographic universe” I have gone in search of my own answers to link up all these disparate facts & anecdotal information, to discover how & why such things as they are can exist. My own private belief , is that this reality exists for the growth & development of the spirit , & because it can. Things are the way they are , because we have manifested them into this reality with our thoughts & dreams , if you like. SO are many things manifested into reality. I have found it to be significantly empowering reading & somewhat liberating.

I am troubled by the nature of this mankind , who does so much that is wrong , unjust & counter to the ideals of love & life. The constant struggle between evil & good , so to speak. That we have free will to create either a heaven or a hell for ourselves on this wonderful earth. Gifted with precious life, we errant humans will rebel against simple logic, compassion & common love, to make war, foster greed, destroy life, & make gods of money, power & self worship.
We should be far more humble, far more forgiving, far more compassionate, far more conscientious.

It's beyond me to understand, ( perhaps it all stems from the competitive nature of life ) that somewhere along the way, humans continue to pervert themselves. I feel that we must all be evolving towards enlightenment or be damned in ignorance. So on it goes throughout history, I am appalled at the powers that be & the divisive political interests, that persecute people unjustly & punish them in the height of cruelty, hiding behind the full force of LAW.

Jesus said, we must treat others as we would be treated ourselves. I think there are a lot of people in power , who should do a term in prison , just to see how it is to be on the receiving end; to have their rights violated , without any recourse of protection or legal reparation. I know you have far more understanding of these machinations than most of us.
Now a political prisoner. Have we a conscience ?, I sometimes wonder........... Mine own is my very best friend / guide.

I thank you for your efforts , to bring the injustices into focus & make a public forum of this mess, exposing & bringing to light , the hypocritical situation for all to see , ultimately to be judged by us,. not the U.S. corrupted power.
We need enlightenment , not ignorance in darkness. Unity in Love & peace , not division, despair & separation from god. We all come from the same place. Reality is a dream. God is the dreamer. & as the song goes, “we are stardust”

Cheer up Marc, it is but a Little Time, followed by a Great Change catalyzed by your movement.

Meditate on Peace ~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~ Regards, Jules... sunny Queensland Australia

Couple of weeks ago I found myself wanting to drop Marc a couple of lines just to say Hi, and that so many thousands around the world are so very proud of him. It was important that I, as one person could do ALL I CAN to BRING MARC HOME by writing, calling and drawing attention to the cause and let him know many others were doing same. Educating Others. Was surprised to hear back from Marc yesterday, a handwritten full page letter - filling me in as to his doings and still the clear voice guiding us through his injustice and challenging the moronic drug laws here in Canada. It was unexpected to say the least but it only inspires me to do better. Peace

Marc, if you are free, contact me, I have enough friends in the Netherlands (i'm Dutch too, as well, and also :-)

After Jack Herer died, and you were put in jail, we need a new International Marihuana Movement Spokesman.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Abe
