Prop 215 NEEDS your Help

Would you please take one minute to call 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 THIS week?

PLEASE CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN.....AND IT IS EASY TO DO....TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE...

It's easy: Just call the Capitol switchboard operator at (202) 224-3121.

Give the operator your zip code and ask to be connected to your U.S. House member; you don't even need to know your congressperson's name to do this.

When the receptionist for the congressperson - not the Capitol switchboard operatoranswers, say something like: "Hi, this is [name]. I live in [city], and I'm calling to ask that my representative to vote for Rep. Maurice Hinchey's [HIN-chee's] medical marijuana amendment to the Justice Department's spending bill, which I understand will be considered on the House floor next week; The amendment would prohibit the Justice Department from spending taxpayer money to arrest medical marijuana patients in the 12 states where medical marijuana is legal."

Please call now: (202) 224-3121

Then, please follow up by using MPP's easy online legislative system to e-mail your member of Congress. Calling and e-mailing take only one minute each.

The House of Representatives has voted on this amendment the last four consecutive summers, but - since last November's midterm elections provided the most favorable conditions for passing federal medical marijuana legislation since MPP was founded 12 years ago - this year the amendment has the best chance it has ever had of passing.

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 call your member of Congress now.
