Time to Take Action

Drug WarRant: Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment coming to the floor on Tuesday!

This comes via Peter Guither at Drug War Rant.com for those of us upset over the Gonzales v. Raich ruling. On Tuesday, June 14, 2005, the Hinchey-Rohrabacher Amendment hits the House. The amendment prevents the federal government from spending money investigating medical marijuana patients in states with medical marijuana laws. Click on the following links to send emails to your US Representatives to urge them to support this bill. Each link only takes about 30 seconds to complete, so pass them on to your friends.

· DRCNet instant letter to Congress
· Drug Policy Alliance instant letter to Congress
· Marijuana Policy Project instant letter to Congress
· NORML instant letter to Congress

As Peter Guither points out, this is the perfect time to take advantage of the publicity generated by the Supreme Court ruling. However, do not just rely on email, call your Congressional office on Monday.

As a quick reminder of this issue’s importance, I am reposting the link to Rogier van Bakel’s account of Peter McWilliam’s sad story.
