CHERYL MILLER MEMORIAL PROJECT COMING TO WASHINGTON, DC THIS SEPTEMBER 22-23

Many DRCNet readers remember the work of Cheryl Miller, multiple
sclerosis sufferer and medical marijuana patient/activist, who with
her husband Jim lobbied and shamed numerous members of Congress and
devoted countless days to the cause. Cheryl passed away in June
(http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/291/cherylmiller.shtml), and
friends and supporters from around the country, along with drug reform
organizations, are holding a two-day memorial event in Washington, DC
this September 22-23.

Cheryl's days will begin at 7:00am on Monday the 22nd, with a
Memorial Table at the US Supreme Court. Sometime later to be
announced, MS patients will visit the National Capital MS Society
office. A half hour before sunset (roughly 6:30-7:00pm EDT), the
candlelight vigil will commence, an event Cheryl had always talked
about but never gotten to do herself. Then on Tuesday morning,
10:30am, there will be a press conference at the Rayburn House Office
Building, after which patients and supporters will lobby Congress.

Whether you can make it to Washington next month, please visit
http://www.cheryldcmemorial.org for further information on what's
going on, for things you can do in your own communities, or to make a
donation to the project. DRCNet is a cosponsor of the event, and we
will see you there!
