2nd Annual
March on the Capital
When: April 20th, 2010
Time: 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Where: Main Steps into the Capital
Do not continue to sit by silently and let these legislators ruin our state. 13 events and no one arrested nor targeted...nothing period! Again the police are not the enemy. It is the law makers who need the reality check. Lets give them just that in November 2010, but we need to begin organizing now. If you choose to live in fear then you will always live in fear. The truth will set you free. Light defeats darkness. Come out with the truth into the light and with courage, put fear where it belongs on these legislators. A bill has been introduced, if you do not come forward now...then when will you? Now is the time to demand your civil rights. Tell your friends and neighbors! If you love this country like I do, then I will see you on the steps April 20th!
Shirts, Bumper Stickers, Literature & Signs Provided
You are welcome to bring your own signs
I talked with Representative Depasquale and he had one of the best moral compasses of anyone that I had spoke with throughout this entire venture who isn't a sponsor or co-sponsor of this bill. What he lacked in knowledge, he was open minded enough and recognized the truth when heard it.
Sorry I can't say the same about Representative Rapp. As you can see, she is now on my list of the top 20 worst legislators in the Pennsylvania Legislator. This list may need to be expanded to the top 50 worst!
WHAT IS AN ADVOCATE?
An advocate is like a union rep when a company or business gets to big for its britches. The employees then band together under the voice of their union rep. I am the voice of all those living in fear, or are in too poor of health, or whatever reason it may be to stand up for their rights. I need you to empower me by attending my marches and protests. I have a plan and know how to bring this issue to an end! Who else out there can say that?
There is a song in our church out of the children's song book titled...
Do As I'm Doing Follow Follow Me
I will show you how we can stop this ignorance but again I need your support so...

Medical Movement Stats
In July of '08 we set up www.medicalmovement.com and in the first 8 months, we had less than 1,000 hits on the site. Now we are up to 20,000 hits.
On September of '08 I did my first march and protest, I had 1 person show up. 1 year later in September of '09 I had 22 people show up...as you can see in the past 12 months, there has been a 20 fold growth.
If this continues to happen over the next year to come, this government is going to be in big trouble. When 100's of us spread out in these towns, no one will be able to ignore us. Prove your love for this country by what you do, not by what you say.

Some Interesting Comments Made
at the 1st Hearing for HB 1393:
just like Dr. Swidler stated at the hearing.
(page 76 in transcript, line 10)

PLEASE READ!!!
Due to the inclement weather most appointments have been
rescheduled for March 9th. Please mark on your calandar these dates as we have a lot of appointments lined up. In the mean time if you can make it to the capital any Monday or Tuesday, I am always there street lobbying, setting up appointments and making this issue known.
Lobbyists needed for March 9th 9:00 a.m. to Noon at the capital in Harrisburg. This is the single most important thing that you can do. The second most important thing is wear your shirts wherever you go. Continue to pass out literature thus educating everyone you come in contact with. This keeps the issue in the forefront. Remember, when people are talking, we are winning this battle. Each voice lights a fire. Truth will prevail!

______________________________________________________________________
Medical Movement Making It HAPPEN!!! Hearings took place on December 2, 2009 from 11:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. at the main capital in Harrisburg. We had a nice turnout. We'd like to extend a special thanks to Sandy Crue, Mom, & Kids. Great job!!!! In addition, all those who testified had a great impact on the few who remained in attendance to listen. The Committee Members reminded me of middle school children who couldn't sit still through an assembly in the auditorium. After the first few speakers, there were only 13 of the 26 Committee Members in attendance, and at the conclusion of the meeting at 2:30 p.m., there were only 5 members left! Many patients were left who didn't get the opportunity to share their testimonies. I consider it a "slap in the face" that the legislators would not remain present for the entire duration of the meeting when the patients who were there to share their stories endured it in discomfort to many of them. Hopefully, they will review the excellent testimony from the doctors off of the video. With an issue of this enormity, you would think they would give the proper respect to those who were there to testify. As a tax paying citizen, I was appalled to see how the whole process works. If you take notice, Rep. Matt Baker has been moved to the top of my list because he obviously had his own agenda and did not come in with an open mind to hear the facts put before him. Let's see how you fair in the 2010 elections, Rep. Baker! On the Grassroots Website on 11/11/09, information that went public stated that Katie True will not run for re-election. 1 Down and many to follow. Although this would be a great opportunity to say things like good riddance, I would like to take this opportunity to commend her on one thing we both agree on. She stands for term limits which needs to be in effect for all elected officials whether state or federal. As well as a binding referendum (ballet initiative) for all states. 55 DOWN...148 TO GO! 1. Lobbying the PA House Health & Human Services (HHS) Committee Members is a priority as they will be the first to vote on the H.B. 1393 Bill.
Happy to report my last lobbying experience was with Rep. Dan Moul (Republican from Adams County) after 45 minutes of discussion, it is obvious to me that he has a good moral compass and I feel he will support the bill when it comes to the floor.
Sandy and family couragously bringing truth to Seth Grove whose deceiving smile can fool just about anyone! Seth obviously doesn't know the meaning of the word compassion.
Seth is on my top 20 list!
Chuck runs into Kerry Benninghoff in the hallway and reminds
him that people are out here suffering.
Chuck with Tony Peyton congratulating him for his
courage at the hearings.
Chuck with Representative Tim Briggs (co-sponsor) assuring him of his intentions to re-lobby most of health and human services committe members.
UPDATE:
Woe to any legislator found without compassion and labeled as such.

P.S.
PARTICIPATE IN YOUR GOVERNMENT!
Chuck's Statistics and Findings:
Out of every 10 eligible voters in America only 6 actually register to vote.
Out of those 6 only 5 make it to the poles to vote on election night.
Out of those 5 only 1.5 voters acutally know the integrity or anything else about the local legislator that they are voting for.
This shows that 3 out of 10 voters are making the laws for everyone to follow.
After researching this issue, I have found a way to influence atleast 5 of the 7 voters who are uneducated about who they are voting for. This brings any legislators job to a 50/50 vote at the polls on the night of the election. Stay tuned for my grand plan!!!
(In the House of Representatives)
(55 is the # of legislators that Chuck has lobbied or knows their positions)
(49 appointments were attempted to be made and I only received 2 call backs)
Thank you to all those who showed up to support the Medical Movement and our crusade to legalize medical marijuana.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------LOBBYING PROJECT ON HB 1393:
2. The best days to lobby while the House is in session are Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. or whenever they will schedule appointments in Harrisburg.
3. "Lobbying" is identifying yourself, telling your story on how you are suffering and then waiting for them to give their response and feedback and then respond accordingly. Make sure to report back to The Medical Movement and Chuck Homan through cahomanco@aol.com .
Lobbying Humor
After trying for the 4th time to meet a legislator, I was face to face with his secratary who I will call Sherry (not her real name). Upon seeing me and immediately recognizing me, she greeted me and I could easily see a change in her demeanor. She told me that she had not been able to pin him down for an appointment yet, however she has had time to take a look at the material that I left behind and she agrees with most of the facts and sees from my literature that I have done a good job in covering any possible questions that might arise. There is one thing though that I have a question for that she can't find in my literature and that is, she smoked when she was in college and she heard that now a days, the marijuana is 10 times stronger and is that true and if so what happens when that falls into the hands of those who don't need it for medical purposes? She said this just after looking in all directions to make sure that no one was around to hear about her past! I told her that I had an answer to both of her concerns... The answer to the first question is out in the triangle, dealer stash is 10 times stronger but that rarely hits the streets, however when it does, I leaned in after looking in all directions to make sure no one was around to hear me say..."That is why we have double stuffed oreo's" At this point, we both burst into laughter!
