ALERT: House to Vote on Medical Marijuana Amendment This Week!

Call Congress Today!

As soon as this Thursday, the US House of Representatives will vote on an amendment that would prohibit the federal government from spending taxpayer money to interfere with state medical marijuana laws. Though similar amendments have been offered in the past, this year it is being offered by 10 sponsors — five Republicans and five Democrats — and several weeks ago a different medical marijuana amendment that would have allowed VA doctors to discuss it with their patients got 195 yes votes.

There is a better chance than ever that this could pass, and we can certainly get closer and advance the issue — if you take action.

Please use our online form to email your member of Congress in support of the Rohrabacher-Farr medical marijuana amendment to the Commerce-Justice-Science appropriation bill. When you’re done, please call your Rep’s office to voice your opinion on the phone as well, which will have more weight than just an email. You can look up your Rep’s phone number on our web site, or you can call the Congressional Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be transferred.

When you’re done, please email this alert to your friends, or use our site’s tell-a-friend form to spread the word. Thank you for taking action.
