LOS ANGELES - Santa Claus has announced that he is delivering a few bags of coal to 255 E. Temple Street in Downtown Los Angeles this Wednesday at 4 p.m.

"The DEA should be happy that I stop at all for them this year," declares Mr. Claus. "They have stolen from patients, thwarted justice, terrorized the state of California and wasted huge amounts of valuable resources. They are shameful, unapologetic, should be spanked and sent to bed without supper."

Patients will gather to tell Santa their wishes for the New Year and new White House Administration and hold a candlelight vigil for those patients who remain in prison due to U.S. failed drug policies.

"There are many wonderful people in our jails and prisons who are non-violent cannabis users. They should be at home with their families, not in prison. We demand president-elect Obama put an end to these raids and useless incarcerations," states Degé Coutee, president of Patient Advocacy Network, a Southern California based medical cannabis patient advocacy and education organization.

Coutee continues, "What we witnessed last week was no more than armed
Christmas shopping. The DEA took televisions, jewelry and cars, but no arrests were made all while holding patients at gunpoint. This is not public safety. This is government sanctioned terrorism."

There have been 10 DEA raids on legally qualified patients and their providers throughout Southern California in the last two weeks. Cash, medicine and personal property were taken, some without a warrant. No arrests were made but patients were threatened. For more information contact:
