Attention All
Dear Friends:
The U.S. Supreme Court will soon issue its ruling in the historic medical
marijuana case, Ashcroft v. Raich. At issue is whether the federal
government has the constitutional authority to prohibit patients in medical
marijuana states from using and/or growing marijuana that is not commercial
in nature, and therefore does not involve interstate commerce.
If the Court does not rule in favor of Angel Raich and Diane Monson - the
appellants in the case - we won't be silent. ... That's where you'll come
in. We need your help lobbying Congress. We need you to tell your U.S.
representative that it's time to end the federal government's attacks on
medical marijuana patients and caregivers.
Please take advantage of this historic opportunity by attending a noontime
demonstration at your U.S. representative's local district office two days
after the decision is announced (exactly 50 hours following the announcement
of the Court's decision). We will send an alert the day of the decision
notifying you that it's time to act.
You won't be alone. A host of medical marijuana reform groups and activists
including NORML, the Marijuana Policy Project, and Americans for Safe Access
are coming together all over the country to tell Congress to stand up for
patients.
The purpose of these demonstrations - aside from drawing attention to the
issue - is to urge members of Congress to vote for the Hinchey-Rohrabacher
amendment to the Science, State, Justice and Commerce Appropriations bill.
If passed, the amendment will bar the DEA from spending any funds to
interfere with state medical marijuana laws.
Please visit http://www.raichaction.org/ to get all the materials you need.
You can use the site to: -- Find out where your U.S. representative's local
district offices are located; -- Print flyers to hand out at the
demonstration; and -- Print talking points related to the
Hinchey-Rohrabacher medical marijuana amendment.
If you think you will participate, or, if you want to lead a demonstration,
please send an e-mail to notify@raichaction.org
To read a little more about the politics surrounding this landmark case, we
have included an editorial below from NORML's Senior Policy Analyst Paul
Armentano.
Sincerely,
Kris Krane
Associate Director
NORML
