Subject: Please write Congress about medical marijuana
Dear Evan�Ravitz:
Would you please take a few minutes to write your member of Congress
and ask him or her to vote in favor of the medical marijuana amendment
that the U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on in the next
couple of weeks?
If you're going to send only one e-mail this year to stop the federal
government's war on medical marijuana patients, now is the time -- and
it couldn't be easier. Just visit
http://action.mpp.org/c.hhLWK2PALoF/b.1408901/k.8E12/Take_Action/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=hhLWK2PALoF&b=1408901&aid=8840
to go to MPP's action center. You can send one of our pre-drafted
letters, or you can personalize the letter.
It's crucial that you take action now, because Congress will soon be
voting on an amendment that would prohibit the DEA from spending
taxpayer money to target seriously ill medical marijuana patients and
their caregivers in states where medical marijuana is legal.
If you agree that sick and suffering patients should not have to live
in fear of armed federal agents breaking down their doors, this is
your chance to do something about it. Please visit
http://action.mpp.org/c.hhLWK2PALoF/b.1408901/k.8E12/Take_Action/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=hhLWK2PALoF&b=1408901&aid=8840
to send your message to Congress now.
Last week, MPP's five-year campaign to pass the medical marijuana
amendment got a big boost when we distributed decks of cards -- with
the title, "The Deal on Medical Marijuana: 52 Reasons Why You Should
Support Medical Marijuana Access" -- to every House lawmaker. The
cards were extremely popular and garnered positive media attention.
(See
http://www.mpp.org/site/apps/nl/content2.asp?c=glKZLeMQIsG&b=1847069&ct=3952487
for an example.) We're hopeful that the cards -- combined with your
e-mails and faxes -- will help us reach the 218 votes needed to pass
our medical marijuana amendment on the House floor in the next couple
of weeks.
This is an important chance to speak out before Congress votes on the
amendment, so if you've read this far and still haven't clicked
through to MPP's action center at
http://action.mpp.org/c.hhLWK2PALoF/b.1408901/k.8E12/Take_Action/siteapps/advocacy/ActionItem.aspx?c=hhLWK2PALoF&b=1408901&aid=8840,
please do so now.
Thank you,
Rob Kampia
