Lend A Hand To The Farmers End Hemp Prohibition

Lend A Hand To The Farmers Lyrics

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Put the power of production back in their hands
Lend a hand to the farmers in this time
The very future of the nation is on the line

Think of all these families
Being forced off their land
The small farmer is a chess piece
Being pushed by corporate hands

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand, lend a hand
Put the power of production back in their hands
Lend a hand to the farmers in this time, lend a hand, lend a hand
The very future of the nation is on the line

Can't you see that
To have a healthy nation
Good food is what we need
But without the cultivators
Whose gonna plant the seeds

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand to the farmers on this land
Let's put the power of production back in their hands
Put the power of production back in their hands.

Can't you see
A bunch of rusted tractors
Thousands of idle hands
A nation raised on junk food
Millions of acres of wasted land

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand, lend a hand
Put the power of production back in their hands

Lend a hand to the farmers in this time
The very future of the nation is on the line

Lend a hand to the farmers
Let's lend a hand to the farmers
Put the power of production back in their hands

Let's lend a hand, let's lend a hand to the farmers

{RAPPED}

At one time we had more than 8 million small family farmers on the land in this country.
Now we're down to less than 2 million
Loosing 300-500 every week.

The backbone of this country is the farmer
We're loosing our farmers
We're loosing the bottom rung on the economic ladder
If we don't help our farmers we will go hungry

Lend a hand to the farmers and you are lending a hand to yourself.

Lend a hand to the farmers.
Put the power of production back into their hands

Lend a hand to the farmers
The future of the nation is on the line

Lend a hand to the farmers.

Hemp For Victory: Vol. 5 The Trillion Dollar Crop

Now available on amazon.com

Book Review published on the Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute site by Jay Greathouse of

Raw Materials Econ

"Richard M. Davis and the USA Hemp Museum have produced an amazing 250 page book documenting the history and current potential for commercial hemp production called Hemp For Victory: Volume 5 The Trillion Dollar Crop.

This rare voice of sanity lays out the overwhelmingly positive scientific perspective on commercial hemp. As more voices ask for the open dialog long sought by those opposed to the needless waste of the so-called War On Drugs the value of this new book becomes self-evident.

Career politicians prove once again that campaign promises regularly become orphaned IOUs with little likelihood of ever being redeemed. At best they can only follow the lead of knowledgeable citizens and the USA Hemp Museum provides this book for citizens curious about the science regarding commercial hemp.

If we do not allow science to drive policy then policy becomes driven by ideology. History provides ample evidence on the predictable failure of policy driven by ideology.

Science observes nature, the world as we experience it in our daily lives, and constructs organizational systems to aid our understanding of the world and our place in it. These scientific organizational systems remain open to modification as discovered facts dictate.

Ideologies, on the other hand, start not with the facts but with someone’s dreams and fantasies. Facts may never contribute to the process of refining ideologies and if they prove contrary to ideology are conveniently ignored if not outright suppressed.

Disinformation and other forms of creative lying create the illusion of facts that prop up the dysfunctional ideologies that impoverish all of human existence. Hemp For Victory: Volume 5 The Trillion Dollar Crop dispels misleading illusions with such a volume of scientific verifiable facts as to nullify the power of dysfunctional ideologies intended to make us all criminals in our own communities.

What more can we hope than to be freed from burden of lies that only contribute to increasing needless pain, suffering and all too often pointless death at the hand of militarized police agencies?

This freedom can be yours at no cost to you because Richard M. Davis and the USA Hemp Museum now offer Hemp For Victory: Volume 5 The Trillion Dollar Crop as a FREE PREVIEW EBOOK EDITION. Please be advised this is currently a working copy and I do not know what will be its fate with publication of hard copies and the ebook final version becoming available in mid-June, 2009.

Honest factual information can lift the veil of illusion that gives power to ideologies. You can take steps now towards abandoning ideology and embracing science by obtaining your own copy of this book.

By sharing this book you also help to free your friends, family and community from blind obedience to enslaving ideologies. Be informed, it is one essential right you still have the ability to exercise.

Special mention must be made of Brenda Kershenbaum for her brilliant research, Art Director Sherwood Akuna for the stunning series book covers and art work and the awesome Editor, J. Nayer Hardin of Computer Underground Railroad Enterprises.

Disclaimer: We are quoted and mentioned in the book as “great hemp activists.” All I can say is that we aspire to resembling that remark." (Note: You're awesome, inspiring activists on the hemped path to victory.)

Hemp Not Corn Biofuel Is The Way To Go

Like Willie Nelson has taught since the 1950's, hemp is a peaceful solution to many of our problems.

Hemp (not corn) biofuel is an effective tool that we must start using now to solve the problem of global warming. Hemp is four times more efficient than corn as biofuel. The policy of food for energy is stupid and possibly evil, one of those designed to fail moves to keep toxic energy in power.

Hemp is one of the "cellulosic technologies" that those in power are pretending not to know about as we get more talk of safe nuclear, clean coal and evermore expensive oil (use less - spend more) as solutions to our energy problems. They are not. Hemp is an effective solution tool for our energy crisis as an excess CO2 remover, clean burning biofuel, and aerates soil up to six feet deep.

From: Worldwatch Perspective

"OPINION Biofuels 2.0: It's Time for Congress to Act

Can Biofuels Make or Break Iowa's Future?

Efforts to replace oil with biofuels in the United States are at a critical juncture. Double-digit growth in the production of corn-based ethanol has contributed to a sharp increase in grain and soybean prices while failing to deliver the environmental gains that had been hoped for.

It's time to reduce the incentives for food-based biofuels and accelerate the transition to more sustainable alternatives - the so-called "next-generation" cellulosic technologies, which are expected to become viable in the coming years. "

Earlier this week Congress held hearings on corn based ethanol energy.

What an oxymoron. They made it illegal to grow hemp to be used to remove the cause of global warming, excess CO2, or as clean burning energy. Then they spend money trying to understand why using food for fuel is not a good idea.

Sow blindness

Farm bill would do little to reduce world hunger and much to aggravate it.
Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle – [short quote]

President Bush promises to veto the five-year, $300 billion farm bill before Congress this week. The House and Senate have given him plenty of reasons to do so. The bill is so wrongheaded it's the equivalent of beating swords into plowshares at the outbreak of a war that closely follows a bumper crop.

Even before one gazes upon the merits and demerits of the bill, its cost alone should be seen as prohibitive. With farmers enjoying record high crop prices and income, it is irresponsible to enlarge the federal budget deficit and national debt to pay for crop subsidies."

Congress didn't have to set this up in the first place. Last year's Industrial Hemp Farming Act was lost in committee since 4/20/07. If it had passed, we'd be solving global warming now with large scale hemp growing, like what happened in the old Hemp For Victory program.

Toxic fertilizers are used to grow corn. The Gulf of Mexico has a huge dead zone where the Mississippi dumps in with the toxic run off of the corn fields.

Richard M. Davis of the USA Hemp Museum has a book with an idea of using the old WWII HEMP FOR VICTORY program to solve the problem of global warming. His site is .

In his book HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION he shows how, if we would shift to hemp biofuel, grown by family farmers on unused federal land and large scale burnt areas, we'd be utilizing a biomass champion. Hemp can help solve the problems of global warming and other environmental issues, like water pollution from paper making. The crops available after growth and oil can help heal the housing market with the inexpensive building material Hempstone.

Jack Herer, in his book THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES has a chapter on Energy, Environment and Commerce posted.

Since hemp is a weed it's easy to grow and modern times have given us good harvest and processing equipment.

Hemp is a wind pollinated plant that can grow up to 4 crops a year. Hemp’s large root system aerates soil up to six feet deep, cleaning toxins.

Large amounts of hemp foods can be available on short notice in case the bees don't return, helping avoid starvation dramas.

Hemp is a natural resource material that we can use to boost the economy with small and large business opportunities, restore family farms, and provide many job opportunities.

Given the speed that the ice caps are melting, weather changing, food prices rising, etc., I don't think Mother Earth wants to wait for another election to get started. We need to get hemped now. Please share your ideas on how.
