and you don't have a choice outright unless there's a lot of political will to do so and it will likely go to the voters and members and we'll see what the people say oh absolutely we'll be using it for you know getting paper out so we can get signatures back get a real legalization dot org and you can donate there the other thing whom would really rather have you spend your own money the sheets that everybody's used to seeing everywhere they go they typically hold about twenty signatures and you can print these off for yourself i mean if you're a dedicated activist want to stand in front of wal mart or come to events like this and collect i mean if you look over here we've had people signing in sheets all day the other thing we have and what we have here for people that signed has we find that a lot of people are with their friends and neighbors to have them sign as well here the twenty signatures she just kind of intimidating for somebody that's not real gung ho to go get twenty signatures but we have as a short signature she only has room for four signatures and the reverse side of this where the other twenty signatures would be is actually a fold up mail or we have a little message here we could stand that up in a display like the stan people take them home but in our instance here we're hanging them out which you get for signatures you simply fold it up it's already korea addressed to the campaign for the corner office put a stamp on it and for fifty cents you seventeen send it to kinko's if you can or king fed ex is now i guess what they are but it's got to be on a limb by seventeen paper the laws got to be on the back foot both both pages of the law have got to be on the back of it and  spend your money that way to spend five ten bucks and make some copies put it in the hands of your friends or neighbors so that they can do the same and we should easily have the signatures to be quite simple everybody cares enough to do that and  grow for yourself you know people that like you can grow are not necessarily going to run the state system is going to do fine it's going to have plenty but if anyone can provide for themselves and their friends and family it should be legally allow it's not legal until you can grow it and give it away spokane and i you know i'm working full time now in previous years i was able to devote pretty much full time activism but my situations changed i've had to take a job and i'm paying my bills but it's five days a all the secrets that we should be in a position of creating those secrets in the first place we hadn't got into these wars in the middle east we didn't have the policy we do in the middle east now and we wouldn't have this problem we treated other people other out of normal we just got our own tax id number but we are for short with a normal agenda but i love the fact that it's the woman's alliance that's what drove me to it it causes me like a siren because when women are forming an alliance the healing of the nation joined i had my giddy up with that to be part of it absolutely that's part of it but what is even more exciting is actually writing proposed legislation and amendments and working directly with local state and federal government officials and politicians i barely get it and we actually do have senator paul wellstone here who's in charge here by five o two and to work directly with yes yes thank you trying not to be criminals any more especially as another matter of fact you might see here on our banner moms doing what comes naturally and when i do fax it out to a home birth one in ninety expensive for the state for a woman to have a home birth with an educated licensed midwife than it is to have a baby in a hospital which is all so sadly a very dangerous place to have a baby  and if god forbid you're taking too long and they need your bed you know those forceps are going to come out that photosynth will be shot right in you and that baby's coming out as they need that bed turn that room over and you know in your own home is on this are healthy you could have thank you for asking sir and that is all about doing a responsible home birth number one you want to at least have a nearby hospital informed that you're going to be having a home birth in case you need to go there and the other is what happens if you have bridge so my midwi is the is the element of iron and so if i were to have hundreds we went to the natural food store and we bought a bunch of supplies that you needed but a big bottle of liquid chlorophyll and if i were to have marriage they would literally have me drank liquid chlorophyll according to them and they were very wise women by the way who also worked with doctors who have part of their underground network doctors who encouraged and supported in upstate new york at that time  that my midwives had to literally back then there was more and so many cell phones but there were pagers and beepers you might remember and they had to run their operation through a peep or any medical records that they kept outside of their home because i i had again the babies in ninety two and ninety four and that was just on the heels of basically a mid we're through with tons that had gone on by the state of new york and criminal charges filed against basically my midwi mentor and inspiration and so they had to behave like drug dealers they were basically involved in the black market and they certainly were not making any money doing this i mean we didn't pay them a very small amount absolutely know it is a labor of love no pun intended i'm sure my midwives would love to hear that it's a labor of love stories that some great ones to know are that of course during this time when i was pregnant and having babies what basically the more money you have the less questionnaires there are to fill out so one if you have any type of state assistance giving birth you're going to have a ton of questionnaires from the bureau of vital statistics because the government wants to sort of mine data from any warm body that they can mine data from and people who are reliant on the system are great data mines so i filled out a lot of bureau of the vital statistics questionnaires during that time and i answered every single one honestly i wanted to be on the record that during both of my health and inspired pregnancies i was using an abyss daily i did not when i did even remotely be have experience morning sickness it was just an instant cure i couldn't imagine and i have friends who morning sickness literally put them down there on their back for months at a time and i just cannot believe that they would use cannabis because of just being victims of so much propaganda and that they would rather literally be on their backs which is unhealthy to just be sedentary doing a pregnancy so that's one story and just a quick little side note of that is that there have been very few real studies scientific research studies done on pregnancy and marijuana smoking here in the united states all such studies are done on high risk drug addicted you know methamphetamine cocaine addicted mothers who may or may not also be using marijuana so and most of the studies here are that way they go for a hard drug addiction sort of populations that also may at one time of smoked marijuana and then they say old marijuana is  gateway drug or marijuana causes this in that in in pregnancy in childhood when in fact they're using very unhealthy body in jamaica which is really the only true bonafide study that's going on in jamaica there is a population of women that are only using cannabis they're not even using caffeine they're very poor bodies and they are discovered that more advanced motor skills so i don't want to sit here and be a proponent saying you'll have a healthier baby if you use can but what i will say is that the scientific data out sort of kind of demonstrates that and i can certainly tell you that both of my children were football stars national honor society secular leadership every kind of extracurricular activity you could believe in and they're both now full time college students so that's what campus has done for us i've been smoking daily for over a quarter was century another and you seem story that happened in new york is that after i had my first baby phoenix rising i was in a mall breastfeeding it was like the albany mall is only one and i was he was in a front sack and i was just walking around breastfeeding and mall security came up to me and said that i couldn't do that in public i need to go into the restroom because i am now and just thought that was absolutely hilarious and offensive and i said to him that i was equally offended by fake foods high heels and makeup but that i certainly wouldn't make a big stink about this offense how these other women were sending me and i would never call security on them and at that point i in fact moved phoenix rising over just a little bit and just helped that bear huge milk filled breasts just taken so everyone could see putting the security guard  said i'm going into the shoe store i remember that i'm going into that shoe store over there if anyone could see it used to have a problem with this you can find me in the shoe store i actually because of that my midwife and i ended up on a radio show and i think it might have even been at suny albany state university new york colony which has a pretty radical radio station so we were able to do that work together
