Sam & the StyLees Block Party on Cherry Street.
Hi Guys! Love the new CD. The recording, vocals, and outstanding talent in this band truly needs to be shared. Do I have your permission to share on my Facebook page? I would like to share Sunday Morning Live, and get the exposure out there for the few that do not know you exist.
Original:http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/600/will_foster_oklahoma_prison_parole_medical_marijuana Will Foster became a poster boy for drug law reform more than a decade ago, when he was sentenced by an Oklahoma court to a nightmarish 93 years in prison for growing marijuana plants to treat his rheumatoid arthritis. National publicity -- indirectly gained for Foster by StoptheDrugWar.org, publisher of this newsletter -- helped get his sentence reduced to 20 years, and in 2001, he was paroled to California. Now he is back in prison in Oklahoma, charged with violating the terms of his parole, and is likely to remain there until either 2011 or 2015 -- depending on whose interpretation of the state's arcane sentencing laws is followed.
