Neil! You will be proud to hear that your efforts on the Freedom Tour have been very beneficial right here in your hometown!

During yesterdays Free Marc rally there was an officer who had observed brittney attempting to break a bamboo pole in half so she could make her sign a double handled flag, so he commented, saying " I guess since I am a public servant, I should be of some assistance." as he used his hand held saw to cleanly cut the pole for her.

After witnessing this I commended him on being so respectful about his role as a public servant, and brittney even commented saying that we even pay his wages with our taxes. In response to this he politely smiled and said " yes you do, and I thank you for that.". We had a short discussion about how we appreciate the changing stance on the drug war and how it has started to foster a lot more respect for law enforcement and has brought our officers to a position where they acknowledge that they are here to even protect us, because just like them, we are people too. His comment stating that the war on cannabis " is just plain silly" was very refreshing.

when I asked him if he had heard of L.E.A.P., he smiled big and bright and said " yes I absolutely have.".

What a great way to start a march!

Heres where it all started, with neil educating Jim Chu about L.E.A.P. back in 2007!
