Description | Loretta Lynn Nall is an unlikely political activist. With her at-home candle business, Stevie Nicks hairdo, and kitchen-table computer, the mother of two is truly grassroots, especially the grass part.
In October, Nall founded the Alabama Marijuana Party, a political action committee trying to loosen marijuana laws and raise awareness about the plant's medicinal benefits.
"I'm a common country girl. I have big ideas and opinions," she says. "And a big mouth."
Nall and her family live in the backwoods of Tallapoosa County, hardly a hotbed for the cause. So she was quite pleased when her letters to the editor began appearing in Alabama newspapers. |
