That is, a campaign so strong that by next summer everyone running for national office knows that they will not get elected unless they publicly and strongly support relegalization of medical cannabis as well as other important progressive issues such as environmental preservation, ameliorating global climate changes, etc. How can this be done? By creating an American Platform uniting this with other progressive issues all of which warrant such endorsements as key changes that need to take place, eg, also, industrial hemp, abolition of nuclear weapons (see HR2545 the global Nuclear Disarmament and Economic Conversion Act of 1999 http://www.prop1.org ), stop nuclear testing and waste dumping, overall drug law reform, stop CIA drug smuggling ( see http://www.copvcia.com ), adequate funding for new energy technologies development to replace nuclear and fossil fuel power and neutralize radioactive wastes (some background and links at http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000 ), indigenous peoples issues, Free Leonard Peltier, etc. How to publicize and mobilize and unite the various issue group constituencies to combine their strength to promote such a global peace platform, (American Platform?)? Global Peace Walk 2000 is an ideal vehicle to help accomplish this by all progressive issues uniting together in its support and efforts walking, publicizing and carrying these messages across country next year from San Francisco (departing January 15th in context of second largest MLK birthday events nationally then down the coast to Los Angeles, nuclear test site, Big Mountain, etc) to Washington DC (for Oct9 Millennial Peace Ceremony at Washington Monument with perhaps over one million people on that date which is Columbus Day holiday coincident with, according to Smithsonian Institute, 1000 year anniversary observance of Vikings coming to America, and also John Lennon's birthday) and ending in New York City for the United Nations 55th anniversary to help inaugurate the UN Year and Decade of creating a Culture of Peace for the 21st Century. This Global Peace Walk project was initiated with the 1995 walk from NYC to SF for the UN50th anniversary by a zen buddhist monk, Rev. Yusen Yamato, who will be conducting Global Peace Walk 2000 to mobilize American Citizens to help fulfill President Clinton's offering to the 1995 walk, his UN50th message calling on Americans to help fulfill the original goals of the UN charter to remove the scourge of war from the future generations. This project has received many letters/messages and proclamations of support since 1995 including recently from the mayors of San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland CA, and onstage at Woodstock'99 from the mayor of Rome NY. In 1995 we received proclamations and letters from New Mexico officials including Taos and Santa Fe Mayors, both Senators, and Gov. Gary Johnson whose letter of support text is reproduced at end of this post. We expect Gov. Johnson's participation and support for GPW2000 in Santa Fe in April. Your letter of support with your "survival issue messages" will also be carried by the walk and we ask PLEASE for their submission with your commitment to help ASAP so they can be publicized before the walk begins and carried by the walk across country from the beginning. The hemp/cannabis movement has been fragmented and needs to be united with all other survival issue messages in such an American Platform to solve critical social and environmental problems before it is too late. In the 60's pot was associate with Peace and Love. Now it is primarily identified in the public mind with medical issues such as AIDS and cancer, or industrial hemp, or with "drugs". We need to put the Peace and Love message back into the hemp/cannabis movement and Global Peace Walk 2000 is an ideal vehicle whose performance and success depends on the amount of support from activists across country which will fuel it. Rev. Yamato's primary function on the Global Peace Walk 2000 will be to oversee with his peacewalk experience the overall logistics and to conduct prayers and ceremonies along the way. Although he is very familiar with these issues, and the uses of hemp/cannabis in his buddhist and Japanese cultures over centuries until it was outlawed in 1945 by the US (all Shinto shrines are also hemp shrines), he must rely on American citizens to take the lead of this Global Peace Walk 2000 and bring these survival issues out to the people and local,regional, national media along the way; or as he says "the survivor is the leader" and "everybody must be 'Living on The Globe with All Our Friends' or soon nobody can live in this world" I have been asking for support on this project all year and now time is growing short for the walk to begin. Please recognize the importance and value of this project to help fulfill "Global Peace Now!" and resolve these survival issues by supporting Global Peace Walk 2000 in any way you can. see http://www.globalpeacenow.org For those of you in the SF Bay area please come to the December 4th benefit concert and gathering to offer your support, food and gas donations, recruit more walkers/speakers, etc., at the Berkeley Community Center 6-11PM.
