There is so much going on for me. This weekend I will be giving a speech in front of 20,000 people at the Cow Palace. I will speaking about freedom and liberty, I will be carrying on the message the Jack Herer gave to me more than 20 years ago. It is with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes that I write of his passing. Jack you will be missed here, Jerry will be playing a nice show for you and your on to a better place.

Love you and will always remember and be Grateful for your message,
Ken

Until I get my bracelet off. As it turns out, I get to wear the bracelet a little longer. I don't actually get to cut it off until I go in to the Federal Probation office and we cut it off together. However I do get to unplug it the box from the phone and the power. It won't be reporting back to the head end after 5 p.m. I am very excited about all of this. Its been a long road of looking over my shoulder and wondering if it was the end of the road for me or not.

So the count down to freedom has begun. Its a about 9 days and 15 hours 33 mins till I get my jewelry off, but who's counting any way. I am looking forward to having my freedom back. While it will be controlled freedom it will be freedom just the same. For the first time in nearly a decade I will have this whole thing behind me. No more looking over my shoulder, no more wondering is this going to be the end of the road for me.

After a year of debate. We shall soon find out what was actually written into law, and the mandate with the new health care reform. The president says this is a victory for the people. In reality it was the republican health care bill that was passed by the dems. At least that is what I read Ralph Nader calls it. I am of the belief that Ralph is likely on the right track to left thinking. What kind of health care bill requires you to BUY insurance?
