Kottonmouth Kings Vs Supreme Court

Kerosene Media reports: The AAMC (American Alliance for Medical Cannabis) and Suburban Noize Recording Artists the Kottonmouth Kings have joined forces for an upcoming demonstration and protest on June 25th in West Los Angeles, CA at the US Federal Building.

The protest is a direct reaction to the recent Supreme Court ruling that allows the government to block doctors from prescribing marijuana for patients suffering from pain caused by cancer or other serious illnesses. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled the federal prosecution of pot users under the federal Controlled Substances Act was constitutional. The closely watched case was an appeal by the Bush administration in a ruling involving two seriously ill California women.

Ten states, including California, have laws allowing marijuana use for medical purposes. California's law, passed in 1996 under Proposition 215, permits people to grow, smoke or obtain marijuana for medical purposes upon the recommendation of a doctor.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Stars Tribute Billy Graham

press release reports: On the eve of what might prove to be Billy Graham’s final crusade, legendary musician Pat Boone has brought together some of the brightest stars from across the musical spectrum to create a moving tribute to the renowned 86-year old evangelist’s life and work. Boone’s labor of love, “Thank You, Billy Graham,” inspired the participation of musical artists from various genres including pop, country and gospel. A portion of proceeds from the recording will benefit Mercy Corps and Samaritan’s Purse, two charitable organizations dedicated to relieving poverty around the world.

The tribute video performance opens with Bono’s perspective lauding Graham’s global influence and then rolls into a stunning montage highlighting his impressive career and the notable figures who have looked to him for spiritual guidance. The song itself is reminiscent of “We Are The World” with such vocalists as Andre Crouch, Kenny Rogers, LeAnn Rimes, and Michael McDonald, among others, handling verses and the entire ensemble joining on the indelible chorus, “He heard the word, got the call, took the message to us all, said it so we all could understand.”[see full story more and to view the video]- Click Here for the Full Story
