Do you realize that the one issue that Ralph Nader, the Reform Party, the Green Party, the Libertarian Party, as well as other third parties have in common, is that they are all in favor of reforming this nation's marijuana laws. In fact, they are not only in favor of medical marijuana and industrial hemp, but they favor legalization for adult use.

You, on the other hand, not only refuse to pledge to end federal interference with state medical marijuana laws if elected, but you won't even take a stand for allowing our farmers to grow hemp for industrial use.

This issue could either win or lose the election for you.

Unless you at least pledge to end all federal intervention in states whose laws allow for medical marijuana or industrial hemp, I, and I'm sure many other swing voters, will not be voting for you this fall.

If you do not, and you lose this election, don't blame Nader or the Greens or the Libertarians and their supporters for having the courage of their convictions. Blame yourself and your party for having neither courage nor convictions.

The link can be used to send any message you want to Kerry, btw.

This was inspired by another excellent Letter to Kerry over on the Market Place Message Board -

The language is rather terse, maybe a smoother tongue would bring notice. Structure the argument in a framework that allows some comparison to something the recipient can relate to, maybe show how farmers in Kerry's home state could benefit from hemp production. Find someone in Kerry's life that is ill and could benefit from medical cannabis.
An approach like that is much more likely to be read and considered.
