C-Span Radio to broadcast NORML 2006 panel, May 7 @ 10 AM

May 4, 2006

Dear NORML Supporters:

C-Span Radio, the country's leading public affairs radio channel, will broadcast the conference theme panel for NORML 2006 -- Marijuana Law Reform: From Grassroots to Grasstops on Sunday, May 7 @ 10 AM (eastern).

The panel consisted of: Dominic Holden (Member, NORML Board of Directors), Martin Martinez (patient-advocate in WA), Vivian McPeak (WA NORML/Seattle Hempfest), Sunil Aggarawal (Doctoral candidate in medicine U of WA), Allison Holcomb Esq. (WA criminal defense lawyer), Roger Goodman Esq. (King County Bar Association), Nick Lacata (President, Seattle City Counsel) and Allen Hopper Esq. (ACLU Drug Litigation Project).

C-Span Radio is broadcast in the Washington/Baltimore metropolitan area at 90.1 WCSP-FM and online at: http://www.c-span.org/watch/cspanradio.asp?code=csr

C-SPAN Radio is also available on XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio.

This was a terrific panel that educates the public about how grassroots activists who favor marijuana law reform (aka 'stakeholders') need to work closely with established political parties and policy makers so that all involved in the political process are invested in a popular and mutually beneficial outcome.

Other great and informative speeches, lectures and panel discussions, including Keynote speaker Tommy Chong's humorous remarks, from NORML's 35th annual conference held in San Francisco April 20-22 can be heard at: http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=6881

If you didn't get a chance to attend this year's conference, please consider listening to the C-Span Radio broadcast from NORML 2006 this Sunday (and archived for podcast downloads at www.norml.org and www.c-span.org).

Thanks and regards,

-Allen St. Pierre
Executive Director
Member, Board of Directors
