Dear Rep. Vukmir,
On Wednesday, April 18, 2007, ten friends and supporters visited your office and delivered a letter from me responding to your hurtful and prejudgmental comments about medical cannabis in the April 10, 2007 Wisconsin State Journal. The letter asked you several questions, which to date, you have not yet answered. Once again, here are the questions:
1) Is your public statement that you will continue to be in opposition to medical Cannabis/Marijuana ONLY your feeling, or are you speaking on behalf of the entire Assembly?
2) You also spoke of concerns about its safety. Please share your research with the people of Wisconsin.
3) Are you doing the will of the people, or Rep. Leah Vukmir's will? Do you represent the views of the majority in your district?
4) Please share what drugs "may soon be approved" and when?
5) What is your definition of "soon"?
I and many other Wisconsin patients, supporters and interested parties await your response.
Sincerely,
Jacki Rickert
