Captain Joint, High Times Freedom Fighter here, putting out the call to the troops, ... marijuana troops that is, 
we are in the process of organizing a rally for May 6 in Bushnell Park, Hartford Ct. Freedom Rally for the legalization of marijuana.

Any help you can send our way would be helpful, we are way under funded and are doing this in conjunction with the global marijuana march international. 
 
On a lighter note, I have just filed the following paperwork in New Haven Federal court and this rally also will be a forum for discussion on this issue. We also are having some local politicians  and LEAP.CC officers to speak...

In March of 2003 the Holland Police, State Police, and a Task force
busted  
in my doors and woke my family up with guns in their faces, My son woke
up with 
6 guns in his face. Females were made to stand in front of all male
officers 
before being allowed to get dressed. Guns were put to the dogs head in
front 
of  my grandson, then 2 years old, a door was slammed against a crib
with a 6 
month  old sleeping in it. The family was handcuffed and was not allowed
to 
use the  toilet. ALL CHARGES FROM THIS RAID WERE DROPPED AUGUST 16,
2005. The 
police  have refused to return our money and property. The reason all
charges 
were  dropped was because I was in the hospital on all three dates the
police 
claimed  they bought marijuana from me at my kitchen table at home. Here
is the 
document  being filed in Federal court today, any questions call me at

Christena Dodge is the daughter  of David and Judith Bunn and at all
relevant 
times, lived at The Property with  her husband Jamie Dodge and their two 
minor children Phoenix Dodge and Justice  Dodge.
Daniel Collins, is the son of Judith Bunn and at all relevant times, 
lived 
at The Property.
David Bunn, Judith Bunn, Daniel Collins, Christena  Dodge, Jamie Dodge
and 
Cougar John Bunn are activists for the legalization of  marijuana for
medical 
purposes.
David Bunn and Judith Bunn have participated  in protests and have been 
featured in magazines and newspaper articles that are  in favor of the
legalization 
of marijuana, and were on the Board of Directors  for a pro-marijuana
group 
called Mass/Cann.
David Bunn has a legal  prescription for the use of marijuana for
medicinal 
purposes.
On March 25,  2003, Defendant, Scott Haley, Lead Agent Eastern Hampden
County 
Narcotic Task  Force, filed an application for a search warrant and
signed an 
affidavit in  support of the application and a search warrant was
issued.
The search  warrant sought to search the property at The Property, where
the 
plaintiffs,  were living.
The search warrant stated that defendant, Chief Gleason, 
??reported that the 
Holland Police Department had been receiving information that  a David
Bunn 
whom lives with his family on Maybrook Road in that town was  selling
marijuana 
from the house.?
The search warrant referenced that David  Bunn is an activist for the 
legalization of marijuana is actively involved in  public protests for
the 
legalization of marijuana. Copies of newspaper articles  in which David
Bunn was 
interviewed were attached to the warrant.
Defendant,  Haley, represented that he and Defendant Gleason recruited a 
confidential  informant and that the confidential informant reported to
(1) buying 
marijuana  from David Bunn, at the property at The Property; (2)
witnessing 
the sale of  marijuana at The Property; (3) knowing about David
Bunn??s 
political activism;  and (4) making controlled buys of marijuana from
David Bunn on 
February 25,  2003, March 14, 2003, and March 23-25, 2003.
The warrant contains the  following false and misleading representations 
which were made knowingly and  intentionally by defendants, Gleason and
Haley:
(a) The warrant  describes a vehicle of the Bunn family vehicle that is 
incorrect;
(b)  The warrant sets forth the date of the controlled buy made by the  
confidential informant on a date that the plaintiff, David Bunn, was in
the  
hospital for a surgery;
(c)  The Defendant, Haley, represented in the  warrant that the
confidential 
informant was inside the house at The Property and  made three
controlled buys 
from David Bunn, the last being 48 hours prior to the  execution of the 
search warrant, but David Bunn was in the hospital during the  48 hours
prior to 
the execution of the warrant, and David Bunn was in the  hospital from
March 20, 
2003 through March 25, 2000. On March 25, 2003, David  Bunn had major 
surgery. David Bunn remained in the Harrington Memorial Hospital  for
several days 
after the surgery;
(d)  The Defendant, Haley,  represented in the warrant that the
confidential 
informant made a controlled buy  from David Bunn on February 25, 2003,
but 
David and Judith Bunn were in Maine  from February 22, 2003, through
February 25, 
2003, on which date David Bunn went  to the emergency room at the
Harrington 
Memorial Hospital;
(e)  The  Defendant, Haley, represented in the warrant that the
confidential 
information  made a controlled buy from David Bunn on March 14, 2003,
but 
David Bunn was at  Harrington Memorial Hospital on such date, as he was
extremely 
ill.  During  the times in which David Bunn was not in the hospital, he
was 
sick in bed due to  his severe illness;
(f)  The Defendant, Haley, states that Chief Gleason  and he recruited a 
confidential informant together which is false;
(g)  The search warrant states that the third controlled buy was made
within 
48  hours of the writing of the search warrant, the search warrant was
written 
and  signed on March 25, 2003, however, in response to a Motion for
Discovery 
in the  criminal case, the defendants responded that the third buy was
made 
on March 28,  2003, between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.  The search of the
house 
occurred on  March 27, 2003;
(h)  The search warrant refers to a confidential  informant, who does
not 
exist and was fabricated by Haley and  Gleason. 
On March 27, 2003, the Holland Police Department in  conjunction with
the 
Eastern Hampden County Drug Task Force, (hereinafter, ??Task 
Force?), executed 
the search warrant (hereinafter, ??The Raid?) at The 
Property.
David Bunn and Judith Bunn were not home when the search warrant  was 
executed.  David Bunn was in the hospital and Judith Bunn was visiting 
David Bunn in 
the hospital.
Present at The Property during The Raid was  Christena Dodge, her
husband, 
Jamie Dodge, and their children, Phoenix Dodge,  who was two years old,
and 
Justice Dodge who was six months old. Also home at  the time of The Raid
was 
Daniel Collins, age nineteen.  
Cougar John  Bunn, who was age fifteen, was living in the house at the
time 
of The Raid but  was at school during the time of The Raid.
On the morning of The Raid,  approximately fifteen Task Force Agents, 
including Agents John Doe 1, 2, 3, 4, 5  and Holland Police Officers
John Doe 1, 2, 
3, 4, 5, 6, sergeants broke in the  door of The Property.  Two
Massachusetts 
State Police were also present at  the Property.
During The Raid, Jamie Dodge was woken up by an Agent pointing  a gun in
his 
face and screaming at him.  In his bedroom, there were three  other
officers 
yelling at him.  As soon as he got up out of bed he was  handcuffed and
brought 
into the kitchen where his wife and children were being  held by other 
officers.
During The Raid, the defendants, Officers and Agents  yelled at the
infants 
and pointed a gun to the children??s dog??s head and 
threatened to shoot the 
dog in front of the children.  When the children  were crying and
screaming, the 
Officers and Agents yelled at Christena to quiet  the children but when
given 
a toy, a defendant Officer grabbed it from the  child.
During The Raid, the defendant Officers and Agents, repeatedly yelled 
and 
swore at Christena Dodge, Jamie Dodge and Daniel Collins and destroyed
many  of 
the possessions and furniture in the house.
The defendants, Officers and  Agents repeatedly swore, criticized and
made 
fun of the plaintiffs while they  were in handcuffs.
The defendants, Officers and Agents, made fun of Christena 
Dodge??s metal hip 
and disability. 
During the raid, the defendants, Officer  and Agents, tracked mud, dirt
and 
dog feces throughout the house from the  outside.
David Bunn, who was the target of the raid, was in the hospital 
recovering 
from surgery, when he learned of the raid.  David Bunn was so  upset and 
concerned for his family he attempted to leave the hospital and 
disconnected 
himself from his IV and life support.
As a result of the illegal  raid, Christena Dodge and Judith Bunn were 
charged with one count each of  Massachusetts General Statutes c.94C
Section 34, 
Possession of Marijuana Class  D.  The criminal charges were dismissed
in August, 
2005.
No charges were  ever filed against David Bunn, although he remains a
suspect 
and his criminal  case is considered still open.
Following the raid, the plaintiffs have been  repeatedly, as follows:
(a) On March 28, 2003, the day after the raid, a  complaint was made to
the 
Holland Board of Health and the Department of Social  Services, stating
that 
the toilets in the house did not work dog feces had been  found in the
house.  
On that day, Sally Blais, a member of the Holland  Board of Health,
Holland 
Police Officer Pillsbury, and the Town engineer, went  to the Property
and 
checked the toilets (that all worked) and took a picture of  the septic
tank.
(b) On March 29, 2003, a false complaint was made that  the Bunn??s
dog, 
killed a cat in the neighborhood and at approximately, 8:00 p.m.  that
night, 
several Holland police officers and two Police SUV??s arrived at
the  property to 
investigate the incident.
On January 9, 10, 2006, Defendant,  Chief Gleason, threatened the
plaintiff, 
Judith Bunn, that he as the Chief would  be re-filing the charges
against her 
and Christena and filing the charges  against David Bunn.
(d) On January 29, 2006, Daniel Collins, was  harassed by a Holland
Officer, 
Badge #: 553,  when he was pulled over for  speeding in Holland, 
Massachusetts, while Collins was driving in a vehicle  registered to
Judith Bunn, a 
sobriety test was given without probable cause,  which came back
negative, Collins 
was searched for weapons without probable  cause.  The Officer
repeatedly 
questioned Collins about his relation to  Judith and David Bunn and
whether he lived 
at The Property and made comments  about the notoriety of the property,
and 
his parents.
(e)  From the date  that the criminal charges against the plaintiffs
were 
dismissed, through the  present, Judith Bunn and David Bunn, have made
repeated 
requests to Chief  Gleason for the return of the property that was
illegally 
seized during the  raid, which is valued at atleast $5,000.00, as well
as 
$850.00 in cash. In  response to the Bunn??s requests, Chief
Gleason has ignored the 
requests, denied  the requests, and has threatened the Bunns with
refiling 
charges against the  family.  Gleason also told Judith Bunn not to
contact him 
further and that  he would not respond to her requests.  This denial of
the 
property by  Gleason occurred even after the Bunns provided Gleason with
a Release 
of the  Property from the State Prosecutors.
