WE NEED CLEMENCY FOR PEOPLE SERVING EGREGIOUS SENTENCES FOR MARIJUANA



HAMILTON - FEDERALIST -  "Humanity and good policy conspire to dictate, that the benign prerogative of pardoning should be as little as possible fettered or embarrassed. The criminal code of every country partakes so much of necessary severity that without an easy access to exceptions in favor of unfortunate guilt, justice would wear a countenance too sanguinary and cruel."

A fair and compassionate nation should error on the side of mercy

This is an article in the New York Post by Mark Moore and Steven Nelson.  

At Life for  Pot we hope for thousands of acts of mercy and compassion by the President using his unfettered power of clemency.

President Trump pardoned Michael Flynn, his first national security advisor, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials — the first of several clemency actions Trump is expected to take before he leaves office on Jan. 20.

“It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon. Congratulations to @GenFlynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!” Trump tweeted Wednesday.
