Our Mission Statement from the outset of Proposal 1, 2008 has been to "Bring Proposal 1 frm a state of theory, into a state of practice, in such a way that it benefits not only patients and caregivers, but the community as a whole, and by extension the State of Michigan.
I believe we have done so. As I said at the City Council (of Mount Pleasant) meeting we do not believe we have all the answers, or the perfect system. But we have built the foundation of somthing that works better and better everyday. And from the moment we send this $3,500 sales tax check to the State of Michigan, I am confident saying that we have accomplished our Mission Statement.
But we have also made farming a viable way of making a living again for the first time since the Great Depression and the Dustbowl combined to practically wipe out family farming in a nation that never should have lost that option. Economic independence breeds political independence.
And everyday, we at Compassionate Apothecary try hard to bridge all the gaps left between peaceful farming as a way of life, and full acceptance. With that comes our dedication and co-operation.
I want to personally thatnk each and everyone of our members for making all of this possible, and creating a few NEW jobs in Michigan. Not an easy task these days, I assure you!
