Kettering SHAMEFUL POT RAID I am responding to the front-page photo about government agents attacking the voters and citizens of the state of California ("Federal crackdown: Inland marijuana dispensary shut down," July 18). The conservative regime has sent federal agents to terrorize law-abiding Americans. It is also attacking the entire state of California, its citizens and the very fabric of our society. I am a patriot. I served my country. I am a Marine, my father was a Marine and my 18-year-old son wants to be a Marine. I demand that the entire government of the United States of America be thrown out. This raid in Corona is an unconscionable act and demonstrates the bankruptcy of our system of government. We are not subjects of some foreign, conservative power. We are free men and women, and this is an act of war. I call on the governor to defend us Californians. Our forefathers did not provide for activities such as these. This country has sold its soul. I am ashamed to be an American today. DONALD J. KETTERING Perris - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
