Mike Helms for N.C. Senate 36 in 2008

Attention Farmers! N.C. Senate Bill 1572 May 18, 2006 Study Beneficial uses of Industrial Hemp---------update information above. State Sponsored Hemp Studies has been introducted in Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Vermont, Missoui, North Dakota, Oregon and North Carolina Has done nothing for the farmers. All these other states have gotten ahead of us and working on their own farm program. How much longer can the farmers be held back an let the other states do the farming for us. If you would like to protect your farms and greatly increase the fruits of your hard labor, please read the following message from Mike Helms... Agriculture is the number one industry in North Carolina. Approximately 56,000 farmers grow over 80 different commodities in North Carolina. Agriculture accounts for 22% of the state's income and over 20% of the jobs. If elected as North Carolina Senator, I want to take the restrictions off farmers to grow the hemp plant. In February 1928, Popular Mechanics magazine called hemp "The New Billion-Dollar Crop" and Mechanical Engineering magazine declared hemp to be the most profitable and desirable crop that can be grown. Once fully restored in America, this plant could conservatively generate up to a trillion dollars per year, and could save the planet and civilization from fossil fuels and their derivatives. Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division, Kimberly Clark, and St. Regis and all other timber, paper and large newspapers holding companies with enormous timber acreage stood to lose billions of dollars and perhaps go bankrupt. Coincidentally, in 1937, Dupont had just patented processes for making plastics from oil and coal, as well as a new sulfate/sulfite process for making paper from wood pulp. If this plant had not been made illegal, 80% of DuPont's business would never have materialized and the great majority of the pollution which has poisoned our Northwestern and Southeastern rivers would not have occurred. With the power of the press, these power hungry people have written and twisted the truth about hemp, which is the oldest cultivated fiber plant in the world ( circa 8,000 BC ). Farmers have been out foxed and Americans have been deceived for years, but other states are trying to undo this injustice. Here are a few examples of the use of hemp paper: the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence, the first Gutenberg bible, Rembrandt and Van Gogh painted on it, the original Levi's jeans and the first American flag was made from this plant. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew it, so can Cabarrus County farmers. One acre of industrial hemp can produce as much usable fiber as 4 acres of trees. For more information concerning this wonderful gift from Nature’s God, please visit the following website: http://www.hemp.com . As your State Senator, I will introduce legislation which would allow North Carolina farmers the right to grow hemp like our founding fathers did. Vote Mike Helms for N.C. Senate 36, and send somebody to Raleigh who really cares. Sincerely, Mike Helms Mike Helms For N.C. Senate 36 http://www.mikehelmsforncsenate.com/ P.O. Box 842 Harrisburg, N.C. 28075	Our Creator gave us the gift of hemp. It is your God-Given Right to grow this beneficial plant. It is time to stand up and defend Nature.                                                2. To better Cabarrus county farmers and citizens that love fresh local produce I will fight to get a farmers market in Mount Pleasant and Harrisburg area. 3.   I will defend the farmers and stop produce entering North Carolina un-checked from other countries and demand the major food chains as well anyone dealing with produce to give the place the produce is grown. And start a North Carolina Home Grown Campaign. Need true farmers input on these farming matters because I don't grow anything anymore, but love to eat good fresh Carolina produced food. Farmers let me know what you think and what are your needs are to grow good beans, corn, okra, squash, have to stop, was getting hungry thinking about a fresh pan of fried okra.The farmers should stand up for what they believe and not let the foreign market put them under. For every farm that goes under in North Carolina opens a door for other countries to fill the produce stands with their products. If you love corn on the cob as I do you would fight to save the farmers and their way of life.
We can greatly reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Hemp For Victory Against Our Oil Addictions!	Save the family farm. Nature knows best. Demand your birth-right. If it was good enough for our Founding Fathers, then it is good enough for us! Re-legalise Hemp!
