Affidavit by a Professional Registered Nurse in relation to the failure of the Alabama Bar Association to provide competent attorneys in hemp and drug related criminal actions by the State

I am a registered nurse; licensed in the state of Alabama (license number 1-111134). I have been attending higher education classes worldwide since 1983, in an effort to fulfill my calling as a professional nurse. I earned a Baccalaureate in Science from The University of South Alabama upon graduating on July 28, 2006. While attending this university, I served as the first-ever Director of Community Service for the Student Nurses Association and represented my school at National Conferences in Baltimore, Maryland and Louisville, Kentucky. I was elected Vice-President of my graduating class by my peers, and received the “Excellence in Practice” award at graduation. I am a member of the Emergency Nurses Association and the National Student Nurses Association.

As a professional nurse, I am bound by the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics which states in part:

                                       i.            The nurse acts to safeguard the client and the public when health care and safety are affected by the incompetent, unethical or illegal practice of any person;

                                     ii.            The nurse participates in the profession’s effort to protect the public from misinformation and misrepresentation and to maintain the integrity of nursing.

1. All drug crimes are by their very nature civil actions because the drug abuser is compelled by addiction, which is a form of mental illness. In the State of Alabama, those who suffer from a form of compulsion are not criminally responsible for a crime. The law in Alabama provides for the drug abuser to be committed by the state, institutionalized, and medically/psychologically treated in mental health facilities.

1. Institutions designated for the treatment of mental illness have closed their doors across Alabama due to lack of funding. Many of these ill people are now being held as criminals behind bars by a penal system that lacks the capacity to truly address the underlying medical aspects of these illnesses. As such, these ill people are being turned out into society after a period of time, whether the underlying illness has been treated or not. This has led to a high rate of recidivism for these mentally handicapped persons. The refusal to address and/treat these mental illnesses by the very institutions that are designed to protect the public is unconstitutional, unethical, and immoral.

1. Hemp produces a medically beneficial product in the treatment of mental illness, glaucoma, nausea from chemotherapy, seizure disorder, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, Parkinson's disease, to name a few, with more than adequate research to rely on. Unlike other pharmaceuticals used for these conditions, hemp has never caused a single death. In other words, hemp is absolutely no threat to the patient and no threat to society as a whole. This natural occurring substance is a threat to the profits of the legal and medical establishments as a no cost option gratis our Lord Jesus the Anointed.

1. As a founding minister of Green Earth Ministries, my commitment to making this Divine Goodness available to medically needy patients is my calling in the Lord by God, my profession by the State of Alabama and my duty as a human being.

1. According to the Code Of Ethics, Alabama State Bar Association (December 14, 1887; February 7, 1889), the ethical duty of the attorney includes, but is not limited to;

(25.) An attorney can never represent conflicting interests in the same suit or transaction, except by express consent of all so concerned, with full knowledge of the facts. Even then, such a position is embarrassing, and ought to be avoided. An attorney represents conflicting interests, within the meaning of this rule, when it is his duty, in behalf of one of his clients, to contend for that which duty to other clients in the transaction requires him to oppose.

(34.) An attorney is in honor bound to disclose to the client at the time of retainer, all the circumstances of his controversy, which might justly influence the client in the selection of his attorney. He must decline to appear in any cause where his obligation or relations to the opposite parties will hinder or seriously embarrass the full and fearless discharge of all his duties.

1. The Alabama Bar Association's exclusive membership is reaping windfall profits from the practice of holding mentally handicapped individuals criminally responsible. And every attorney of this State is committed to continuing with this Drug War for his own benefit, the benefit of law enforcement, and benefit of the court penal fine system. These interests are active in keeping the law from functioning properly to bring medical treatment to medically handicapped victims of drug abuse.

1. Prohibition laws were unconstitutional from their very inception. That an attorney in the great state of Alabama, the birthplace of the American Bar Association Code of Ethics, has been unwilling or unable to overturn these laws, and instead would hinder the progress of a citizen that is willing and able (that would be me), is morally irreprehensible and downright unethical.

1. Summary
   The Alabama State Bar Association reaps profit from the prosecution and defense of drug abusers. In other words, the Alabama State Bar Association has a vested interest in keeping Prohibition alive and cannot adequately provide competent attorneys due to conflict of interest.

1. Conclusion

The Alabama Bar Association has failed to provide competent attorneys for hemp and drug related criminal actions by the State, and should be held liable and accountable for a refund of the $5,000 that our ministry has paid to members of the Bar who have provided ineffectual counsel.

I HEREBY SOLEMNLY AFFIRM, under penalty of perjury, that the aforementioned statements are true and complete to the best of my ability, and are presented in good faith and not for purposes of delay, as indicated by my signature below on the date indicated.
