Stop TV "News" Attacks on Cannabis PatientsCall CBS 4 and "Investigative" Reporter Rick Sallinger to protest this disgusting "investigation" where they harass disabled, decorated former Marine, Kevin Dickes. They chase him down and hide in the bushes outside of his house demanding his private medical records. Where's your medical records, Rick? http://cbs4denver.com/investigates/Kevin.Dickes.marijuana.2.642776.html Call KUSA/9News and "Investigative" Reporter Paula Woodward to protest their version of the "story". They complain that a video of Dickes posted on YouTube was "edited". Wow, imagine, a video was edited! Guess you'd better fire your whole editorial department, you morons! http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=85473 KUSA/9News Protest these pathetic excuses for journalism!
Watch this video to see how easy it is to call!
CBS4-Denver has been attacking medicinal marijuana patients and
their caregivers in Colorado. The last person to be the focus of
a CBS4 medicinal cannabis "investigation" (Ken Gorman)
ended up murdered less than a week after the story aired. Now they
are trying it again by attacking a disabled veteran. These attacks
have to stop. Dickes was arrested in Aurora in March 2007. He was charged with felony cultivation and faced 6 years in prison. Because he was a registered patient, all charges against Dickes were eventually dropped. Colorado law says that police shall return the cannabis "unharmed", so Aurora police were forced to return his medicine to him. The CBS4 "investigation" scheduled to air this Thursday
allegedly shows a former Marine who served with Dickes in the Gulf
War who says Dickes' injury was not caused in the Gulf War. The
fact that Dickes was injured is not in question. In the promotion
for the CBS4 story, it clearly shows the 36-inch scar on Dicke's
leg. Apparently, all that is in question is the cause of that injury.
Dickes has provided medical records to CBS4 proving he was injured
in the Marines, but CBS4 is still airing the story. Read the letter
from Dickes' attorney, Robert Corry, here: This is a blatant attack on a law-abiding citizen for using a plant he grew himself to ease his pain. The cause of his injury is none of CBS4's business! This is an invasion of medical privacy. This sensational story is designed only to boost ratings at the expense of a disabled veteran. Kevin Dickes has already suffered with his arrest, prosecution and destruction of his medicine. This "investigation" serves no purpose other than to attack Dickes' and make him suffer more for his use of a legal medicine. All citizens should be outraged! In Feb. 2007, CBS4's Rick Sallinger aired a story about medical
marijuana caregiver, Ken Gorman. Less than a week later, that caregiver
was found brutally murdered in his home. Denver police have made
no arrests and have no suspects in the case. "I don't want to end up dead in my own home like Ken Gorman because of Rick Sallinger," Dickes says. What's next for Rick Sallinger? Will he start investigating all Gulf War veterans and their private medical histories? Is he going to continue to attack other medicinal cannabis patients just to boost his ratings? Why doesn't he do an investigation of Ken Gorman's murder and find out why the Denver Police refuse to investigate this case? Please call CBS4 to protest this attack on sick patients. CBS4-Denver
